Alchemist of Lamashtu Archetype

[Arcanemuses]

There are those whose brilliant minds are driven by a perversion of all that is wholesome and decent. These mad geniuses see the miracle of birth as nothing more than a tool to achieve their gross and vile ends. Horrific are their methods in bringing about death and mayhem. They are called Zeugenhanders.

Fetal Bomb: Zeugenhanders produce bombs differently than other alchemists. At 1st level, they grow a pair of opposing reproductive organs housed in their palms and forearms (one male, one female). By pressing the palms together and activating the organs, they produce a wet and fleshy bomb shaped like a fetus. This bomb screams a chilling birth cry as it is thrown before it explodes. Mechanically, this method of producing bombs is no different than the standard method, except that the Zuegenhander requires no raw materials or an alchemy kit to produce their bombs. This alters the bomb class feature.

Clonespawn Discovery
This discovery allows the zeugenhander to create a smaller, creepier version of themselves to do their bidding. When creating and throwing a fetal bomb into an empty square, instead of causing the bomb to explode, the bomb turns into a temporary goblin under the zeugenhander's control. This functions as summon monster 1.

This is all I got so far. More ideas are welcome :)

Wow. Must have difficulty eating unless they go for the extra arms.

So they have genitals growing from their hands for the purpose of creating exploding babies? I think even other Lamashtu worshippers might be disturbed by this. At the very least, see the impracticality of it. I don't even think the Book of Erotic Fantasy has something this extreme.

The organs need not be described or shown in gross detail. They can be as subtle as any ordinary lines found on the palms. Only these subtle lines open up and interact when the palms are pressed together.

Is this archetype bad taste? Most certainly, as it fits the CE goddesses ambitions.

+1 cool thread. Sense She is the mother of monsters maybe add Summon monsters to the formula list and just say they grow from the hand babies.

It fits Lamashtu. It's a question of how freaky-dark and creepy guro do you want to go. Lotta folks have problem with things like the F.A.T.A.L. system (link starts worksafe, no guarantees after that though), so you're going to get some pushback against this kind of body horror/gorn. See the "unsettling character thread" to touch on the nature of creepiness and how far is "too far".

Anyway, might as well have the alchemical extracts produced internally via glands and make Infusion an automatic discovery so that team-mates can breast-feed magic potions. You're going that direction, after all.
