Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of the Coven (PFRPG)

Dear Paizo, pretty please can you sneak in a one line, PFS legal errata to the cackle hex that says something like "the witch must cackle, chant or recite mystic words of power". Then I will love this book forever.

Would repeating "evil spirits be gone" in your native language count as "mystic words of power"?

I wonder how many hexes we will be getting in this one?

I wonder if any of the new curses will oracle curses or a similar mechanic?

can't wait to see the cover and description update. :)

Will there be any new alternate racial traits and/or racial feats for changelings?

Will any other races get any love other then changelings?

In all likelihood yes, and probably the same amount of love non-aasimar got in Blood of Angels and non-tieflings got in Blood of Fiends.

I would love to see witch themed bloodlines for sorcerers and bloodragers.

My witch loving player's response to this book "CAN I COOK CHILDREN NOW!?!?!?" Evil campaigns are interesting lol.

You already could. Enjoy.

This Hag-themed thread *here* ... is an incredibly comprehensive list of all the hag, hag-offspring and hag-related creatures in D&D 3.5, D20/OGL 3PP, Paizo PF and some 3PP PF. It hasn't been updated in a while. But still, the list entries are numerous and impressively comprehensive. I'm sure some of you hag-fans could update the list with some more up-to-date Paizo and 3PP hags if they so desire.

That all said, I'm excited about Blood of the Coven! I hope we get at least a dozen more hags or thematically-related beasties included in this upcoming book.

With Blood of the Coven releasing, I will definitely make an endeavour to update my list to include all the new crones from various sources.

I am hoping for a tiefling option for night hag touched since they did not make it into Blood of Fiends.

Well this product should be getting a product description/art update soon... if is still coming out in October;)

I hope so, it would be the perfect Halloween product :3

I hope it does as well but until I see a product update I will hold back my excitement.

Until then, lets imagine those coveners are in the midst of a very MacBeth themed rave.

Eye of newt in the pot,
party till you drop.

If this product doesn't get an update by Friday then I think it will be safe to assume that it will not be coming out next month;)

well, it is listed in the October new Releases shipping thread. Whatever that might be worth.
(The Ultimate Equipment pocket edition is not listed in said thread, but that could be because it's not a subscription item)

It makes sense that pocket editions are not subscription items anyway.

If this product doesn't get an update by Friday then I think it will be safe to assume that it will not be coming out next month;)

I still have it listed as part of my next subscription shipment, which is scheduled to be authorized tomorrow.

Weird, I wonder if that is a mistake.

We should both find out tomorrow, since I see that you are also a subscriber to this product line.

Well I am a happy camper already

Well I am a happy camper already

................do you have it already ???

Now that's a cool cover!

Ye!

Nope but the new description already has me estatic

That cover is SWEET !

I haven't been this excited for a book in a while! The Changeling background and options alone sounds great, but a Wtchcraft-themed Investigator sounds awesome!

Wow! Cover! Awesome!

Nice cover:)

Cool, 10 subraces of changelings.

So, 10 new Changeling subraces, and witchy things for Bloodragers and Clerics?

I wonder if this book will also have some brief notes on the main witch-related deities? Going by the Book of Fiends Gyronna, Mestama, the Queens of Night, and Gogunta all have a lot of witch worshipers. I'd like to learn what deities there are for good and neutral witches, as well as who if any of the daemon harbingers acts as a witch patron.

I love the cover! And kudos on the updated descriptions! :D

So we are going to have changelings for all of the varients of hag and more. I'm sold. anything that gives more spooky witch options.

also i love the description for witchcraft they use.
"Wizards may wield studied spells and clerics pray to the gods themselves, but witchcraft—wild, untamed, perilous—is the magic of the common folk, with all the desperation and danger that implies. Embodied by hags and their half-blood daughters, changelings, witchcraft has always been one of the broadest, most potent, and most misunderstood forces of magic... until now." Learn the dark rituals and curses witchcraft empowers, and the good it stands to do in the world as well.

Now THAT is my kind of magic. not something easily tamed, or controlled but something that can strike you dead or save your life depending entirely on the person who uses it and their given mood.

it is a book i am going to buy as soon as i'm able.

So, 10 new Changeling subraces

I don't think they'll all be new, just all in one place.

Maybe there will be archetype(s) that grant hexes to brawler, fighter, and/or swashbuckler.

...a Wtchcraft-themed Investigator sounds awesome!

Ooh! Just noticed that little tidbit. That does sound like something I'd play.

Investigator is one of my fave classes--witch themed?! Sounds awesome! Cannot wait until next week now! :D

THAT.COVER.WOW!

Me likey Feiya. A LOT.

Bloodrager and Investigator getting some witchy goodness? I'm in.

Investigator with hexes, familiar, and witch spells would be awesome.

Ooh, freaking awesome.

If those 10 subraces are half-pagers each, like the aasimar/tiefling ones, I'm sold on that alone.

I went to the subscription page, and there doesn't seem to be an option to start with this product?

That would be because they are authorizing this month's subscription shipments right now. The option to start with this product should come back some time tomorrow, after this month's authorizations are completed. At that point, Blood of the Coven should replace the Antihero's Handbook as an option for which book you can start your subscription with.

Thanks.

Are there actually 10 types of hags now? Well 10 not including nighthags;)

A search on Archives of Nethys turns up exactly 10.

Annis, ash, blood, dreamthief, green, mute, night, sea, storm, winter.

Huh. I didn't realize mute hags were a thing.

I think mute hag is from harrowing module and based on the mute hag card?

Anyway, in case of nighthag at least isn't it said since they are outsiders, they give birth to tieflings instead of changelings?

And dreamthief hag is just more powerful occult variant of night hag so I don't think it really counts as its own type. So that would mean 8 types of hag able to create changelings?

I was thinking the same thing. But the fact that there are ten changeling subraces and ten monsters with "Hag" in their name is suggestive.

It could also be suggestive of getting a couple of new Hag's :P

I wonder if graeae might be the source of one type of changeling. They're technically not hags, but they do form covens like hags and can join hag covens or vice versa, so, maybe? There's also witchfires, but...well, you never know, but it seems unlikely they could reproduce.

Generally undead don't reproduce via the usual routes. But Graeae MIGHT be a possibility.

As for Night Hags, I think maybe if they're in human form they could...but I forget.
