Overview

The Faithful creed represents hunters whose strength comes from deep religious or spiritual conviction. Their belief is not mere lip service -- it provides genuine power against the supernatural. Whether through prayer, ritual, or sheer force of faith, Faithful hunters can stand firm where others would crumble. Faithful hunters see the Hunt as a sacred duty. They may follow organized religion, personal spirituality, or ancient traditions, but their belief gives them the courage and strength to face horrors that would break lesser wills.

How it works

Edge Affinity: Endowment Edges (Sense the Unnatural, Repel the Unnatural, Thwart the Unnatural, Artifact) Desperation Dice: Faithful hunters may add Desperation Dice when their beliefs are tested, when innocents suffer despite their prayers, or when the supernatural threatens to overwhelm their conviction. Approach: Draw on belief for strength, protect through faith, sacred rituals and blessings Despair: When Desperation Dice trigger Despair, the Faithful hunter suffers a crisis of conviction. They cannot use Desperation Dice again until they redeem themselves through their Drive.
