I understand your concerns about Sorcerers ( Witches/Warlocks) being OP...but I'm going to do my best to insure that doesn't happen (at least so much that it unballances the RP)...
There will be counters to magic use,and I feel the inclusion of magic will add a lot of flavor to the RP...as well as some interesting chalenges..

**sillyboy**

How about this;

Magic is tainted, the more you use the more it takes, exmple los of life, sanity, memories and stuff.
This could be done with rolls, the harder the spell the greater the possible risks.
so that being a sorceror would be like walking the fine line between sanity/insanity.

Would also give nice rp-flavor....

Well...the spells avaiable are going to be limited ( Both Black and White Magic) and in certian cases risk will be involved in casting them...

**sillyboy**

So their will be a list of potential spells to use.... Could work, but the gm will still have to take a look out for op.

Because even several small spells can have devestating effects.

Basicly the spell options will be limited,and the choice to play a character that can use them (Witch/Warlock) will have some built in drawbacks as well...

Belive me Silly,maintaining a fair degree of balance is very important to me...

Oh wait.

.... I think you know what I've been thinking my friend...

What have you been thinking?

Pure Blood Werewolves...Creatures born from the mating of two Werewolves rather than transformed by the bite of the Wolf.

Please let them be weaker, please them be weaker...

**sillyboy**

I believe that you want a fair system Fitzz. But I still have my doubts.

I think that a team with a sorceror will have an advantage over the other teams......

But won't make any statements until i see the stats, spells and etc...

To be honest,there are still a few things concerning the "magic system" that need to be ironed out...but I promise it will be as balanced as I can get it.

**FITZZ**

@ Nachos..

Actually..just the opposite.
A pure born wolf will be more powerful than a run of the mill Werewolf....in some ways.
I'm still working on the details for now...

WS-6/BS-6/S-4/T-4/W-3/I-5/A-3/Sv-3+

That's the basic stats for a hunter right now. Here are some of my ideas.

"Tank" aka Juggernaught
WS-4/BS-5/S-6/T-6/W-4/I-4/A-3/Sv-2+

Hunter decked out with heavy armor. Sacrfices speed and mobility to act as a shield for his fellow hunters. Juggernaughts are usually hunters who were gifted with natural brute strength.

Gear: Chamuel Pattern Armor grants them a 2+ save.
Flechette gun for vampire threats, Shotguns with silver laced buckshot for werewolves.

Come at me bro!: The Juggernaught negates one full wound in the combat phase, but at the cost of -2 to their Strength.

"Sniper", Stalker

WS-4/BS-6/S-4/T-4/W-3/I-5/A-2/Sv-4+

Stalkers prefer to deal with their enemies at a distance in order to help prevent them from being injured, killed, or converted.

Gear: High caliber rifle with silver tipped rounds, scope is has night vision capabilities. Low caliber pistol with silver tipped rounds.

Squeeze the Trigger: Allows a reroll for any missed shot that turn, may not fire next turn.

Close quarters, Dervish

WS-6/BS-4/S-4/T-4/W-3/I-6/A-4/Sv-3+

Dervish's are the close quarters experts of the Hunter order, named after the religious practice of the Sufi to whirl around to reach religious ecstasy. They usually wield two blades for a specific supernatural and wear standard armor, although lighter armor is often preferred.

Gear: Ariel or Michael pattern daggers. Ariel daggers are anti-werwolf while Michael pattern daggers are anti-vampire.

Whirligig: The dervish increases the ferocity of their attacks. The dervish gets an additional attack at the cost of -1 to their toughness to represent their lack of attention to defense.

"Medic", Lazarus

WS-5/BS-5/S-4/T-4/W-3/I-5/A-3/Sv-3+

Medics are standard hunters who are responsible for bandaging the wounded and granting mercy to those who become infected. They began to arise after the realization that most hospitals either question the wounds received from fighting the supernatural or weren't capable of dealing with those wounds.

Gear: Raphael pattern medical kit, SMG or pistol with silver tipped rounds. The Raphael pattern kit is a blessed medical kit and allows a reroll against chances of infection.

Soldier, Joans

WS-5/BS-5/S-4/T-4/W-3/I-5/A-3/Sv-3+

Called Joans after the patron saint of soldiers, the basic troops of the hunter order are trained to use all forms of weaponry. They are effectively Jack of All Trades, Master of None.

Gear: May use any sort of weapon and use standard gear, the most ambiguous role available.

Ability: I love the smell of napalm; the Joan is the only hunter class who can rig and disarm explosives.

Sorceror, Djinn

WS-4/BS-4/S-4/T-4/W-2/I-5/A-2/Sv-3+

These are not full blown sorcerors, but those hunters gifted with psychic abilities.

Gear: Archangel Haniel talisman, prevents supernaturals from interfering with psychic abilities.

Abilities:
Telekinesis; the Djinn can hurl objects or things with their minds.

Ward; the Djinn casts a psychic shield around their fellow hunters, preventing mind control.

Holy Bolt; the Djinn casts a bolt of holy energy towards the supernatural causig massive damage at the cost of having to recharge for a turn.

Just some ideas.

**sillyboy**

ooh, i like it Nachos

You just saved FITTZ and I a crap-ton of work. Thank you sir.

**FITZZ**

He surely did, very good stuff here Nachos...

**Mordoskul**

How the system works is thus: during character creation, you select a Virtue and a Vice from the lists below, representing the best and worst qualities of your character. When you roleplay your Vice or Virtue, you earn a single re-roll that may be used during any event on the same day you earned that re-roll. By 'day' I mean in game time. It is up to the Gm what constitutes roleplaying of a Virtue or Vice.

VIRTUES:
Castitas- Chastity
Temperantia- Temperance
Caritas- Charity
Industria- Diligence
Patientia- Patience
Humanitas- Kindness
Humilitas- Humilty

VICE:
Luxuria- Lust
Gula- Gluttony
Avarita- Greed
Acedia- Sloth
Ira- Wrath
Invidia- Envy
Superbia- Pride

Pontius is a pen pusher, do you want to be some blue collar worker or do you want to be a MAN? Join the Hunter Network; be human, be awesome, be a man!

If you plan on continuing to use your current character (if she survives) in the next RP...I'd suggest diligence ...seems like it would fit her personality.
