Duroic Sunmane's page

The first Sunmane was Duroic Sunmane. Some say he was a beggar. Some say he was a prince. What is not debated is how he earned the name, Sunmane. He was part of a group of adventurers, that included the maiden warrior Ducori with her unicorn steed, Purity. While roaming the Haunted Lands, the group came across a medusa.

Many debate about the identities of the rest of their group. All agree that only Duroic and Ducori survived the encounter with the medusa. There are many tales of how the two of them finally defeated the medusa. Some say they slew the snake-haired woman. Some say that she begged mercy and offered to share the magic of her blood with Duroic and Ducori. Some say that when Duroic the Heroic sliced the medusa's head from her body, the medusa's blood splattered onto his hair, changing his dark locks to the colour of the sun. Some say that Ducori's faithful steed, Purity, sacrificed itself to save his rider during the fight. Some say that when the medusa's head was severed, some of the blood splattered onto the unicorn, changing it into a dark reflection of itself.

All agree that soon after the fateful encounter with the medusa, Duroic and Ducori wed and during their lifetime together, Ducori gave birth fourteen times. The first thirteen births gave the fabled couple thirteen strong and healthy boys, all of whom inherited the sun-coloured hair of Duroic. During the fourteenth and final childbirth labour, Ducori gave birth to her only three daughters. The first daughter grew up to be the spitting image of her mother. The second daughter, was born with blonde hair and a small unicorn nub protruding from her forehead, which grew as the daugther grew into a full and proper unicorn horn (though smaller than a typical unicorn's). The third daughter, was born with venomous snakes for hair, that bit at her mother's thighs as the midwive was delivering the third babe. Ducori, the pain of the venom adding to the strain and pain of giving birth to triplets, told the midwive to save the child. Some say that the midwive did as she was bid. Some say the midwife slew the babe to prevent it from growing up. Some say that the last thing that Ducori ever saw were the eyes of her youngest daughter, briefly glowing, before Ducori turned to stone.

The thirteenth son of Duroic and Ducori, name Doruci, had thirteen sons and three daughters. Doruci's thirteenth son, named Icurod, manifested magical abilities derived from the medusa and unicorn from that fateful fight his grandparents had with the medusa. Icurod gathered his brothers' and uncles' families together and formed the Sunmane Clan that roamed the Haunted Desert for a dozen generations without a rift amongst themselves. Some of the families, that had been blessed with children that possessed the healing magics of the unicorn bloodline, were approached by messengers from the Desert Mosque of the High Desert, asking them to join their tribe, the People of the Eagle, and to add their blessed healing bloodline to the the protectors of the holy site. Most of the Sunmane Clan remained in the Haunted Lands, but a few families chose to migrate to the High Desert and become the 30th clan of the People of the Eagle tribe, led by a thirteenth son of a thirteenth son, named Curido (an unicorn bloodline sorcerer), son of Cudiro (a warrior, thirteenth-born son of a seventh-born son), grandson of Durico (an unicorn bloodline sorcerer, seventh-born son of a seventh-born son).

Curido had a dozen sons when his small portion of the Sunmane clan started their migration to the High Desert. Shortly after arriving at the Desert Mosque, Curido's wife, Rasmina, gave birth to his thirteenth son, named after the progenitor of the Sunmane Clan, Duroic.

When Duroic 'Ro' Sunmane was young, his crossblooded sorcerer bloodline manifested (his gaze ability and his ability to cast create water once per day indicated that the unicorn bloodline was also strong in him. While all seventh born sons of seventh born sons & all thirteenth sons of thirteenths sons of the Sunmane Clan had manifested unicorn bloodline powers (sorcerers), there had been no record of any of them developing medusa bloodline powers except for Duroic's and Ducori's grandson, Icurod. All the third daughters of third daughters of the Sunmane bloodline manifested medusa bloodline powers (bloodragers) or unicorn bloodline powers (sorcerers), but never both. There had been no medusa/unicorn crossblooded sorcerers (nor bloodragers) in the Sunmane Clan since the first thirteenth son of a thirteenth son of the Sunmane bloodline, Icurod (a sorcerer). Until 'Ro'.

Class Specials

Bloodline Arcana Gains bloodline arcana of both bloodlines

Bloodline Arcana (medusa): The DC to resist poisons you deliver via natural attacks (whether in your normal form or forms you assume via polymorph spells), increase the poison's DC by 2.

Bloodline Arcana (unicorn): Every time you cast a spell, you can restore a number of hit points equal to double the level of the spell you cast to one target of your choice that you can see. A creature at its maximum hit points cannot be affected by this ability. Healing a dying creature with this ability does not automatically stabilize the creature unless its hit points are brought to 0 or above.

Bloodline Class Skill: Gains bloodline skills of both bloodlines.

Bloodline Class Skill (medusa): Perception

Bloodline Class Skill (unicorn): Heal

Bloodline Power (1st level):(medusa bloodline): Gaze (Su): You can harness the power of the medusa through your gaze. As a standard action, choose a creature within your line of sight who is within 30 feet of you. The creature must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or have its speed halved for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1 round). The DC of this save is equal to 10 + half your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 plus your Charisma modifier.

Archetype Drawbacks: A crossblooded sorcerer has one fewer spell known at each level (including cantrips) than is presented on the sorcerer spells known table. Furthermore, the conflicting urges created by the divergent nature of the crossblooded sorcerer’s dual heritage forces her to constantly take some mental effort just to remain focused on her current situation and needs. This leaves her with less mental resolve to deal with external threats. A crossblooded sorcerer always takes a –2 penalty on Will saves.

Cantrips

Eschew Materials

Bloodline Bonus Feats: A crossblooded sorcerer combines the bonus feat lists from both of her bloodlines and may select her bloodline bonus feats from this combined list.

Bloodline Powers: At 1st, 3rd, 9th, 15th, and 20th levels, a crossblooded sorcerer gains one of the two new bloodline powers available to her at that level. She may instead select a lower-level bloodline power she did not choose in place of one of these higher-level powers.

Bloodline Bonus Spells: A crossblooded sorcerer may select her bonus spells from either of her bloodlines. The sorcerer also has the choice to learn a lower-level bonus spell she did not choose in place of the higher-level bonus spell she would normally gain. Lower-level bonus spells learned this way always use the spell level that they would be if the sorcerer had learned them with the appropriate bonus spell.

Bloodline Power (3rd level): (medusa bloodline): Gift of the Ancients (Su): You gain a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws against gaze attacks and to resist poison. You also gain a +2 competence bonus on Perception checks. At 9th level, these bonuses increase by 2.

Unicorn bloodline.

Medusa bloodrager medusa bloodline that was used as staring base to come with medusa sorcerer bloodline, which the GM has approved.

I kept the medusa theme in mind for all aspects of expanding the bloodrager bloodline into a more expansive sorcerer bloodline.

Class Skill: Perception

The bloodline powers include ones that give competence bonus to Perception and it is not a default sorcerer class skill.

Bloodline Arcana: The DC to resist poisons you deliver via natural attacks (whether in your normal form or forms you assume via polymorph spells), increase the poison's DC by 2.

I compared the naga and serpentine bloodline arcanas. The naga bloodline is "Whenever you cast a spell with the poison descriptor, increase the spell’s DC by 2."

Bloodline Bonus Feats: Alertness, Blind-Fight, Greater Fortitude, Improved Initiative, Improved Unarmed Strike, Intimidating Prowess, Toughness

No change to the bloodrager list of bonus feats.

You can use the petrifying gaze a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
