Build guide

Martial (Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition)

The Martial creed represents hunters who believe in meeting the supernatural threat head-on. They train relentlessly, master weapons and tactics, and serve as the front-line fighters of their cells. When a monster needs to be put down, the Martial hunter is the one who does it. Martial hunters come from backgrounds that prepare them for violence -- military service, law enforcement, martial arts, or a hard life that taught them to fight. They understand that sometimes the only answer to a monster is superior force, applied skillfully.

Recommended choices

Priorities

  • Be decisive, but don't be reckless: you're still human.
  • Use investigation to pick favorable fights.
  • Anchor your Drive and Touchstones. Your motivation needs a cost.

Play tips

  • Plan exits and contingencies; treat every fight as lethal.
  • Use your cell: split roles (intel, pressure, cover).
  • Track what you learn about the monster and update tactics.
