What are Pseudogs?
Pseudogs are canine-adjacent beings that exist in the rift between realities. They feed off the cosmic energy created by the universe and are known to be the guardians of existence. Depending on the rifts they protect Pseudogs have varied skills, appearances, and colorations.
They also have innate abilities (magical or otherwise) that come from a specific god of the Pantheon and a Psuedogs specific Bloodline.

The Planes of Existence

The Astral Lands are where the rifts of reality meet, making it the shared home of many Psuedogs. The Astral Lands are also separate from the mortal realms and only a chosen few Pseudogs are allowed travel to the Material plane freely. The Astral Lands are a plane of perpetual night, though the local fauna act as light sources for Pseudogs and the surrounding sky is littered with stars.

The Prime Material Plane is where mortal, magicless Psuedogs live and fight the beasts that cross over from other rifts not protected by Pseudogs. Mortals call upon the aid of Psuedogs from time to time and though Psuedogs do not desire to fight, it is their duty to protect the mortal plane to keep their mortal kin safe as well as protect The Astral Lands.

The Plane of Everlife is where mortal beings go to when they die. Here, a god claims ownership of their soul or grants them safe passage into The Plane of Everlife. There is no need for worry or sorrow and all souls can rest in everlasting peace here. Travel to this plane is only for the dead, and any mortal or Pseudog who's found their way into the Plane of Everlife will slowly become removed from their physical body, and unable to leave Everlife.

The Outer Planes are home to the gods that created all of existence. They are strictly forbidden to leave their homelands save for their celestial messengers, as their powers can easily be corrupted. Their exile was to protect The Prime Material Plane, as it was the god's wars that nearly destroyed the Prime Material Plane ages ago.
This pantheon includes;

☼ Efriet, the multiheaded golden warrior in platemail armor who gave light to all the planes. It’s said he birthed Pseudogs from a signal fragment of possibility and from that fragment other bloodlines of Psuedogs emerged.
ϟ Thetocon, the great serpent of lightning. He is known for his might in battle and claims ownership of storms, the seasons, and weather.
✫ Va'resh, guardian of safe passage to the afterlife. They are a neutral god, one of which who claims the souls of even the faithless and shelters them from the beasts palner riffs summon.
☾ Te'irfe, goddess of all reflections and the weaver of fate. She's commonly the patron of hunters and the natural passage of life.

Bloodlines

Pureblood

Purebloods are beings directly decedent from the very first Pseudogs that ever existed. They have inherently high Wisdom and can cast spells better than most. They also happen to have larger wingspans than Half-blood or Mortal Psuedogs.
+1 to Wis, +1 to Dex, +1 to Int

Half-Blood

Half-Bloods are Pseudogs that are the product of a Pureblood and Mortal Pseudog pairing. It's uncommon for Purebloods and Mortals to have children, but when they do they create Half-Bloods. Half-bloods are hardier than their Pureblooded kin and can use magic, unlike their Mortal kin. They tend to have the same wingspan as their Mortal kin.
+1 to Wis, +1 to Str, +1 to Con

Mortal

Mortal Pseudogs are Pseudogs who, over the millennia, lost their immortality due to their folly and were sent to live in the Prime Material Plane by the Pantheon of Gods for all eternity. They have smaller wings than Purebloods but their hardy structure and strength are amarable. They're unable to use magic due to being mortal as it's harder for Mortal Pseudogs to tap into the cosmic energy of the universe.
+1 to Str, +2 to Con, unable to use magic

Demigod

Demigod Pseudogs are the offspring of the main Pantheon of gods and are basically gods themselves. They have major control over one segment of their birth God's power as well as one minor control over an element their god does not.
Stat increases vary.

Royal

Royal Pseudogs are Mortals born directly from the first mortals that were sent to live on the Prime Material Plane. They're known for their elegance and have access to the knowledge of magic that mortal Pseudogs no longer posess. They are the only Mortal Psuedogs still connected to magic.
+2 Cha, +1 Dex, +1 Int, +1 Wis

Blessed

Blessed Pseudogs are favored by the gods and given certain benefits because of it. They tend to have a constant glow of aura of light around them but are otherwise mortal and have no connection to use magic.
+2 Str, +3 Con, +1 Dex, unable to use magic
+ 1 luck point *

Cursed

Cursed Pseudogs are favored by the darker creatures that lurk in the universe that oppose the Gods. They tend to have an look of inhumanity that repulses some Pseudogs. The Gods work against them.
+3 Str, +3 Con, -1 Cha, unable to use magic
+1 curse point *

Bestial

Beastial Pseudogs are Pseudogs corrupted by the magic of the rifts in the universe. Usually Beast bloodlined Pseudogs are not born this way and are originally Mortal. They tend to be more wild looking, and are extremely strong.
+4 str, +2 con

Celestial

Celestial Pseudogs are composed of purely radiant magic. They're usually extremely magically gifted and have a strong tie to one particular god. They tend to look far different than most Pseudogs though and have been told to have 12 wings, multiple eyes, feathers, all of the above or have an over all unnerving presence. They emanate celestial energy.
Stat increases vary.

* Curse & Luck Points are Bloodline specific features that aid Pseudogs in combat due to their Patrons.

Curse Points impose disadvantage to their foe, forcing them to reroll any attack they deal for one round.
Luck Points impose advantage for a Psuedogs allies, giving them all advantage to hit the target of the Blessed Pseudog for one round.
Cursed & Blessed Psuedogs can use their feature once per battle and must wait 24 hours before their feature refreshes.

Abilities

Each Pseudog has six stats. Each stat can be increased to a maximum of 10 per stat, and is a + to damage, evasion, armor, spell lists, the power of said spells, and how attractive they are to most Pseudogs.

Strength
Their physical might in combat.

Every +1 above 0 = +1 damage roll from your Pseudog's Melee weapon. If they're using a greatsword that deals 1d12 damage and your Pseudog has a +1 to strength, that Pseudog will do 2d12 damage with each swing.

Dexterity
Their ability to act quickly.

Every +1 above 0 = +1 to the accuracy of your hits and +1 to the damage roll of your Pseudog's Ranged weapon. Your Pseudog will miss less often when they attack if their Dexterity is higher. Also, if you're wielding a dexterous weapon you can add a +1 to the damage dice like Strength.

Constitution
Their ability to resist damage.

Every +1 above 0 = +1 to armor class. To see if a blow hits one must roll a d10 and add their dexterity #. If it meets OR exceeds your Pseudog's armor class the attacked Pseudog will take damage. Each Pseudog starts with a base AC of 5 and adds their Constitution # to that base number to figure out their AC. If a Pseudog has a +3 to Con, they would have an AC of 8.

Every +1 above 0 = +10 HP to your Pseudog per level up. Each Psuedog starts with 30 HP and adds HP as they level up.

Intelligence
Intelligence measures how many spells a Psuedog can learn & cast.

wip

Wisdom
Wisdom measures how powerful a Psuedogs Magic is.

wip

Charisma
Higher the charisma of a certain Psuedog, the higher chance of them passing on desired traits or having larger litter sizes.

Every +1 above 10 = 10% increase to having a larger litter size and the chance for passing on looks you've designated as desirable when breeding your Pseudogs (of which can be something none of the parents have). Each % is taken into account from both parents but desirable traits and litter size are rolled separately with the same % chance.
What cannot be specified is BLOODLINES as those are fixed percentages that will not be effected by your Pseudogs Charisma.
