XP / advancement tracker for Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition
Track progression and keep your table consistent over time. Links below take you directly to the most relevant guides and tools for Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition.
Quick workflow
- Open the tool and set the system.
- Use the system’s roll loop to keep outcomes consistent.
- Track only the numbers/resources that matter for this scene.
- After the scene: update your sheet so the next session starts clean.
Hunter H5 uses d10 dice pools: roll Attribute + Skill, count successes on 6+, with criticals on paired 10s. Desperation dice add power when the cell is stretched thin, and risk overreach or despair.
Examples
Keep the tool page open, apply one consistent roll loop, and update the sheet immediately after a scene so the next roll starts from the truth.
If the table argues about a rule, use one reference page, apply it once, then move on. Consistency beats perfection mid-session.
Common mistakes
- Mistake: opening too many tabs and losing the source of truth. Fix: keep one “primary” page open (sheet or reference) and link out only when needed.
- Mistake: rolling without stakes. Fix: state what success changes and what failure costs before rolling.
Key facts
- 5 Creeds: Entrepreneurial, Faithful, Inquisitive, Martial, Underground
- Edge system: supernatural-adjacent abilities, some drawing on Desperation dice
- Desperation and Danger: a shared cell resource and the escalating threat pushing against it
- Cell system: Hunters work in groups for safety
- Monster hunting focus: Investigate, prepare, hunt
- Human vulnerability: Still human, powerful but fragile
