Variant Changeling Traits

"Pathfinder Character: Changeling Mesmerist" © Istvan Straban, accessed at his ArtStation here.

[Inspired by conversation around the sweet hag. Notice that I am only doing small racial abilities, a la the Advanced Race Guide and Inner Sea Races, rather than doing whole subtypes as in Blood of the Coven. That's because I like the smaller, subtler differences between changelings more. And because the Blood of the Coven abilities are wildly out of sync with each other, power-level wise, especially when the feats from that book are taken into account. These are all small, situational bonuses, except for the groac'h, which mostly reflects my belief that Exotic Weapon Proficiency is not a very good feat, and nets are not very good weapons.]

Variant Changeling Traits The multifarious lineages of hags all may occasionally breed with humanoid men, and thus be mothers to changelings. These changelings are influenced by their haggish mothers, granting them the following hag racial traits:

Capacitor (Ame-Onna): The changeling gains a +2 racial bonus on saving throws made against electricity effects.

Cast the Net (Groac'h): The changeling gains Exotic Weapon Proficiency (net) as a bonus feat.

Crocodile Charmer (Cuca): The changeling gains a +2 racial bonus on Handle Animal and wild empathy checks made to influence reptiles.

Daughter of Darkness (Void Hag): The changeling gains a +1 racial bonus on all saves against fear and sleep effects. Under the night sky, this bonus increases to +2.

Discerning Palate (Sweet Hag): The changeling gains a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks made to taste.

Soft Fall (Dogai): The changeling treats all falling damage as if the fall were 10 feet shorter.

Sure Footed (Ut’lun’ta): The changeling gains a +2 racial bonus to Acrobatics checks made moving through rubble, scree or on uneven stone surfaces.

Voice Actor (Lechuza): The changeling gains a +2 racial bonus on Disguise checks made to disguise her voice.

Now that it's been a week, let's talk about these WondyVillains from ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #12 (2025)!

The humanoid alligator on the left is almost certainly Cuca, the witch seen in Yara Flor's series.

Poor Giganta is seen next to her, miniaturized and angry.

Dozens of sheets of paper suggests Paper Man, an obscure Silver Age foe.

A female fish-woman is in the cell next; I've seen some speculate that it's Sharkeeta, but it feels more like Nina Mazursky from Creature Commandos. Or possibly an entirely new character (associated with Clea's fish-men, perhaps?).

A giant, solid figure that is difficult to make out.

Across from Giganta is a room full of flames -- possibly Zara or the Fireworks Man.

Last but certainly not least.... The Cheetah! I'm desperately hoping it's Priscilla Rich, but only time will tell.

A quick experimental painting. I wasn't planning on posting this, but I really liked the result 🐊❤️

#AWickedHalloween Day  27: Folklore/Folclore: Cuca

Last week, I introduced you to Matinta Pereira and today I introduce you to Cuca. She’s one of the most recognizable figures in Brazilian folklore thanks to “Sitio do Pica-pau Amarelo” book series by Monteiro Lobato (although her origins are way older and from Portuguese roots). She’s known as a humanoid alligator witch who lives in the forest. TV Globo adapted Lobato’s book into children TV shows for the first time back in the late 70s and then rebooted it in the early 2000s—which is arguably the most iconic version of the show (Cuca even became an international meme star). Since she’s apart of the hall of fame of Globo iconic villains, I wanted to embrace her Odete Roitman cuntiness levels.

I only see other countries jokingly calling Susie Deltarune "Barney" "Suziezilla" while here in Brazil we have Cuca from Sítio do Pica-pau Amarelo and we can very well start calling Susie "purple cuca" (we should)

Só vejo os gringos brincando chamando a Susie Deltarune de "Barney" "Suziezilla" enquanto isso aqui no Brasil a gente tem a Cuca do Sítio do Pica-pau Amarelo e podemos muito bem começar a chamar a Susie de "cuca roxa" (A GENTE DEVIA)

I'm gonna start calling her purple cuca from now on (affectionately)

eu vou começar a chamar ela de cuca roxa agora (carinhosamente)
