Rag-Blood Cultist

Adversaries Designed by Abe Ellis • Art by Frontline Gaming

Adversary overview

Rag-Blood cultists are rune-carved, blood-marked devotees who act with cold ritual discipline, treating pain and violence as sacred tools rather than emotional acts.

Rag-Blood cultists don’t fight unless essential to their plans. When they do fight though, whether it’s in one of their ritual sites or over an objective for their twisted ways, they ambush opponents with deliberate recklessness, rushing into close quarters to bait spells and absorb punishment, knowing their blood-etched bodies resist magic until the moment of detonation. When wounded beyond recovery, they willingly trigger a violent ritual collapse, exploding in a burst of raw sorcery that scours everything nearby, turning their own death into a final weapon.
