Bloodrager
Source War of Immortals pg. 60There is a visceral power in blood. It sustains life through its flow. Bloodragers exist throughout societies in different forms. Matanji
orcs are
demon hunters that turn the power of fiendish blood against its vessels. The Skoan-Quah protect the tombs of their dead, preserved with containers of their fallen companions’ blood. This blood is used by their closest living comrades in combat to utilize lost power and knowledge or drank during festivities to celebrate once more with their companions in battle. In Ustalav, cloaked ministers perform rituals with the blood of extraplanar entities to feed and strengthen their congregation against all manner of maladies and horrors. In Casmaron, divine entities coordinate with mortals to provide their blood as catalysts in wars against hidden threats.
Whatever the path, bloodragers have awakened magical powers to become dangerous forces of physical and magical might wherever there is blood to be found.
Bloodrager 1st
You use the power of ingested blood to generate magical power and fuel you in combat, transforming you into a horrifyingly fearsome opponent. You must select
Bloodrager Dedication as your 2nd-level class feat.
Prerequisites: You must be a
barbarian.
Bloodrager Adjustments: You are trained in
Athletics,
Medicine, and a number of additional skills equal to 2 plus your Intelligence modifier, instead of your normal starting skill proficiencies.
You must choose the bloodrager instinct for your barbarian instinct.
Bloodrager Instinct
Drinking the potent magical blood of supernatural creatures has changed you and awakened magical power within you, along with a grim thirst.
Blood Rage (Instinct Ability): When
raging, your physical attacks deal extra
persistent bleed damage equal to half your additional damage from Rage. When you
Cast a Spell that requires a spell attack roll while raging, apply the additional damage from Rage to that spell, even on a failure.
Specialization Ability: When using blood rage, increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 4. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from 4 to 8.
Raging Resistance: You resist slashing damage and persistent bleed damage, as well as damage dealt by the creature whose blood you last drank using Harvest Blood (see
Bloodrager Dedication), regardless of the damage type.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.

Drinking powerful blood has awakened magical potential within you. You gain a spell repertoire with two cantrips of your choice, from either the
arcane or
divine spell list. You choose these cantrips from the common spells for your tradition or from other spells you have access to on that tradition’s spell list. At least one cantrip must require a spell attack roll. You’re trained in spell attack modifier and spell DC. Your key spellcasting attribute for these spells is Charisma. Spells in your repertoire gain the
rage trait while you are
raging, and when you
Cast a Spell from your repertoire, you become
drained 1 (or increase the value of your drained condition by 1); you can reduce the value of this condition only by Harvesting Blood.
You become trained in Arcana if you chose arcane cantrips or Religion if you chose divine cantrips. If you were already trained in this skill, you become trained in a skill of your choice. You also gain the Harvest Blood action.

You fragment a ranged spell. If your next action is to
Cast a Spell without a duration that requires an
attack roll against a single target, you can choose a second target within range. You roll a single attack roll and compare the result to the AC of both targets. This counts as one attack for your multiple attack penalty. To the second target, the spell deals half the amount of damage it would normally deal and has no effects beyond the spell's initial damage (such as imposing conditions or penalties).

Until the end of your turn, the weapon or unarmed attack deals an extra 1d6 force damage and gains the arcane trait if it didn’t have it already. If the spell dealt a different type of damage, the Strike deals this type of damage instead (or one type of your choice if the spell could deal multiple types of damage).

You temporarily add a 3rd-rank spell to your spell repertoire, as determined by the type of creature whose blood you just drank. If the creature has more than one of the listed traits, choose one and gain the appropriate spell. If the granted spell is not on your chosen tradition’s list, you cast the spell as though it was from your chosen tradition. The spell is removed from your spell repertoire after 24 hours, the next time you use. Spelldrinker, or when you next make your
daily preparations, whichever comes first.
