Demon/Witch Hunter Abilities

Monster Hunting: Knows the habits, foibles, weaknesses, vulnerabilities and ways to fight and kill most (historically) well known (and some little well known) witches, demons, monsters, undead, werebeasts, spirits and gods. Fascinated by the subject, the demon and witch hunter is constantly studying the supernatural to learn more, and will commit to memory (and often a written jounal) firsthand experiences and observations. Also see the Lore Demons and Monsters skill.

Arcane Knowledge (38%): Has a good understanding of magic and the supernatural, but fears, loathes and rejects it, giving the DW Hunter greater resistance to it. The character recognizes components and symbols used in magic, signs of evil and magic rituals/ceremonies, as well as spell scrolls, simple magic weapons and devices, and enchantment and possession (36% + 2% chance per level of experience). Bonuses: +1 to save vs magic, +3 to save vs possession, +4 to save vs Horror Factor, and has a base PPE of 3d6 + PE attribute number.

Think Like the Demonic Enemy: Like any good man-hunter, the DW Hunter starts to think like his prey, giving him or her an insight to profile and predict the enemy's behavior, haunts and targets. This gives the DWH gut intuition and hunches that, more often than not, prove to be correct. Some Para-Arcane have suggested that these "hunches" are more like psychic flashes or even a loose link to the supernatural.

Background Story

Special Agent Benjamin Shepard switched off the small TV set in his basement office in the Knoxville branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Something about rising tensions in South America, but he hadn't really been paying attention.

Tennesse wasn't exactly a dream assignment, but his superiors back in Denver had wanted him gone. They'd tried to convince him to take a transfer and were overjoyed when he'd picked the Knoxville office. However, there was method to his apparent madness in transferring...

Shepard pulled a manila folder from the stack on his desk and opened it up. A photo showing the oddly charismatic features of the leader of The Children of the Three Gods, Sebastian Barrett, took up the upper left corner of the folder.

The Children had been brought to the attention of the Bureau months earlier, but no one an interest in a bunch of Satan-worshiping, drug-addled hippies. No one but Shepard.

He leaned back in his chair and glanced at the wall of books on the occult and demonology that flanked his office. Shepard didn't consider himself a religious man, but he'd immersed himself in a variety of sources from scripture to the scrawlings of madmen to better understand his quarry. He'd tracked the cult to Whitwell and tomorrow he'd show the evidence to the supervising agent.

It seemed the Children of the Three Gods had other plans.

Shepard awoke bound and gagged in a large hall flanked by other captives and masked cult members. The last thing he remembered was leaving his car and now here he was. Sebastian Barrett raised a bloody knife over the corpse of a young woman. Shepard couldn't make out what he was saying, but the ground began to shake and strange creatures began to pour out of a light behind the cult leader.

The next moments were chaos as the creatures tore both cultist and captive apart. In the scuffle, Shepard managed to free himself. Taking up one of the cultist's ceremonial blades, Shepard fought his way out of the house, completely unprepared for the pandemonium that awaited him.
