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.
