Hoping for more Cthulhu inspired character options

I was looking at the nymph sorcerer bloodline with an eye towards water based spells when it occurred to me how cool it would be to create something a bit more twisted in the vein of Dagon without actually rolling a cleric of Dagon and getting banned from my gaming group :P

It seems like all of the elements are already there but they exist in disparate places and they don’t work easily together. There is the Aberrant bloodline but it doesn’t really have anything to do with the sea/storms. There is also the Song of the Deep background. An enigma muse bard with a conch could maybe fill the bill if I squint really hard. Finally there is the Tempest Oracle which in some ways seems like the most thematically appropriate choice but… well… hopefully oracles will be better in the remaster.

In terms of ancestry, a pitborn Tiefling seems like a natural way to create a mutated spawn of the deep. Undine could grant trident proficiency which would be a nice addition. Would be nice if there were a way to combine a spear with some of the effects of a staff.

What Cthulhu-esque character would you create if you could?

Azarketi and Fleshwarp are both really good Ancestries for this flavor! I really like all the weird "former Alghollthu servitor" stuff the Azarketi have going on.


Oh I didn't think of the Azarketi at all! That's a really good idea. Looks like their lore is quite interesting being also tied to Azlant.

On a side note - I just realized I accidentally posted this thread under the Paizo General Discussion and not Pathfinder 2e General Discussion!
