THE EXORCIST
|
This world is choked with evil. Beyond the walls of a city corrupted by vice and injustice, monstrous beings born of Sin roam the land unchecked. I am the blade in the darkness. I am dawn's long-awaited light. I am an Exorcist.
Your ability to sense and resist the powers of Sin alongside your commitment to rooting out evil has made you a force for roving Hellbeasts and the dark spirits of the land to reckon with. You are exceptionally adept at mitigating the effects of Sin and engaging the forces of darkness head on.

Hierography |
Half Action
|
The Exorcist starts the game with this ability at Notch 1.
At the end of each Rest (Short or Rull), you create (Notch) + (Charisma) Seals, slips of paper inscribed with powerful Spells.
As a Half Action, you may expend one Seal in order to place it on a creature (whom you can see) within 10 meters. Seals provide either a beneficial effect (for allies) or a detrimental effect (for enemies).
Only one instance of each Seal may be active at a time. A Seal's effect ends when the Scene ends, when you or the Sealed creature are reduced to 0 HP, or you voluntarily end the Seal's effect as a Free Action during your turn.
Pick two Seals you know now. You learn a new Seal with every Notch you gain in Hierography.

Rituals
Anchoring WardOver the course of 15 minutes, you draw a series of holy words and symbols on the ground, creating a zone which pulls spirits from the Unworld into the material plane, forcing them to become tangible while they remain within the zone. Spirits inside your Anchoring Ward cannot enter the Unworld again while they remain within the area of effect.
The zone is a cube whose dimensions are equal to your Charisma x 2 and the zone lasts until your next Full Rest ends. When you create the zone, pick two of the following:
|
DeputizePaint upon a willing ally (who is not you) the words and symbols of a Seal you know. Until their next Full Rest (or until the markings are removed), they gain all the benefits of that Seal. |
PurgatoryTouch a person, an object, or the ground of a location and chant prayers to weaken or purify Sin from the target. Roll your Charisma + 1d6 for every 5 minutes you spend chanting (up to 20 minutes). For each Bump rolled, the target's Sin Level decreases by 1. |
Recall LoreCalling upon your encyclopedic knowledge of monsters, magics, and history, you remember something important about a creature, location, or object within your line of sight. After 5 minutes of consideration, you gain a Clue for use before the Scene ends and… (pick one)
|
Relentless PursuitSpend 10 minutes in meditation, focusing on a specific creature or individual you would like to find. You will roll a Feat but will not use any of your BASIC or Features; instead, you will roll 1d6 for everything you possess which belongs to the one you are seeking. This can be anything from an object the target owns to a drop of their blood or lock of their hair, even a name, a description, or an injury they gave you. For each Bump rolled, you can sense the target's general direction for 1 hour (so long as they remain on the same plane of existence as you). During this time, all Feats made to locate or track the target gain Advantage. |
Rite of ExorcismYou and a Daemon, Spirit, Godling, or other spiritual being enter a contest of wills. Over the course of the next few minutes, you will each make contested Charisma checks against one another as you both attempt to erode the will of the other through various chants, invocations, and counter-prayers.
The winner of each contest reduces their opponent’s Level by 1 per Bump above what was necessary to win the contest. If you are reduced to Level 0, you lose the contest of wills and may never again attempt this Ritual against this spirit. You regain 1 Level now and an additional Level at the end of each Full Rest you take until you return to your original Level. If the spirit is reduced to Level 0, pick one of the following which happens to them:
