The Chosen
Your birth was prophesied. You are the Chosen
One, and with your abilities you can save the
world. If you fail, all will be destroyed. It all rests
on you. Only you.
You get to decide what sort of fate is in store for you. Pick
how you found out about your fate on the reverse side of
this sheet.
You get all of the basic moves, plus three Chosen moves.
You get these two:
B
Destiny’s Plaything:
At the beginning of each
mystery, roll +Weird to
see what is revealed about
your immediate future.
On a 10+, the Keeper will
reveal a useful detail about the coming mystery. On
a 7-9 you get a vague hint about it. On a miss, some-
thing bad is going to happen to you.
B
I’m Here For A Reason:
There’s something you are
destined to do. Work out the details with the Keeper,
based on your fate. You cannot die until it comes
to pass.
If you die in play,
then you must spend a
Luck point. You will then, somehow, recover or be
returned to life. Once your task is done (or you use
up all your Luck), all bets are off.
Then pick one of these:
b
The Big Entrance:
When
you make a showy
entrance into a dangerous situation,
roll +Cool.
On 10+ everyone stops to watch and listen until you
finish your opening speech. On a 7-9, you pick one
person or monster to stop, watch and listen until
you finish talking. On a miss, you’re marked as the
biggest threat by all enemies who are present.
b
Devastating:
When
you inflict harm,
you may
inflict +1 harm.
b
Dutiful:
When your fate rears its ugly head, and
you act in accordance with any of your fate tags
(either heroic or doom) then mark experience. If it’s
a heroic tag, take +1 forward.
b
Invincible:
You always count as having 2-armour.
This doesn’t stack with other protection.
b
Resilience:
You heal faster than normal people. Any
time your harm gets healed, heal an extra point.
Additionally, your wounds count as 1-harm less for
the purpose of the Keeper’s harm moves.
Fate
You can have protective gear worth 1-armour, if you want.
You have a special weapon you are destined to wield.
Gear
Moves
Your Special Weapon
Design your weapon by choosing a form and three busi-
ness-end options (which are added to the base tags),
and a material. For example, if you want a magic sword
you could choose the following: handle + blade + long +
magic.
Form
(choose 1):
b
staff (1-harm hand/close)
b
haft (2-harm hand heavy)
b
handle (1-harm hand balanced)
b
chain (1-harm hand area)
Business-end
(choose 3 options):
b
artifact (add the “magic” tag)
b
spikes (+1 harm, add the “messy” tag)
b
blade (+1 harm)
b
heavy (+1 harm)
b
long (add the “close” tag)
b
throwable (add the “close” tag)
b
chain (add the “area” tag)

Go around the group again. On your turn, pick one of
these for each other hunter:
• You are close blood relations. Ask them exactly how
close.

this was revealed.
• Your best friend in the world, who you trust totally.
• A rival at first, but you came to a working arrange-
ment.
• Romantic entanglement, or fated to be romantically
entangled.
• Just friends, from school or work or something. Ask
them what.
• They could have been the Chosen One instead of you,
but they failed some trial. Tell them how they failed.
• You saved their life, back when they didn’t know mon-
sters were real. Tell them what you saved them from.

The Crooked
“Yeah, I’ve been around the block. A bit of this, a
bit of that. When I came across the secret under-
world of monsters and magic… well… it wasn’t
so different from the underworld I already knew.
It was easy to find an angle, just like before.

Dying
Unstable:
b
Harm
You worked a less-than-legal job before you became a
monster hunter. What did you do?
b
Hoodlum.
You can use Tough instead of Charm to
manipulate someone
with threats of violence.
b
Burglar.
When you
break into a secure location,
roll +Sharp. On a 10+ pick three, on a 7-9 pick two:
you get in undetected, you get out undetected, you
don’t leave a mess, you find what you were after.
b
Grifter.
When you are about to
manipulate
someone,
you can ask the Keeper “What will con-
vince this person to do what I want?” The Keeper
must answer honestly, but not necessarily com-
pletely.
b
Fixer.
If you
need to buy something, sell some-
thing, or hire someone,
roll +Charm. On a 10+ you
know just the person who will be interested. On a
7-9 you know the only person who can do it, but
there’s a complication. Pick one: you owe them; they
screwed you over; you screwed them over. On a miss,
the only person who can help is someone who abso-
lutely hates you.
b
Assassin.
When you take your first shot at an unsus-
pecting target, do +2 Harm.
b
Charlatan.
When you want people to think you are
using magic, roll +Cool. On a 10 or more, your audi-
ence is amazed and fooled by your illusion. On a 7-9
you tripped up a couple of times, maybe someone
will notice. You may also
manipulate people
with
fortune telling. When you do that, ask “What are
they hoping for right now?” as a free question (even
on a miss).
b
Pickpocket.
When you
steal something small,
roll
+Charm. On a 10 or more, you get it and they didn’t
notice you taking it. On a 7-9 either you don’t grab
it, you grab the wrong thing, or they remember you
later: your choice.
Background
Experience
Experience:
bbbbb
Whenever you roll and get a total of 6 or less, or when a
move tells you to, mark an experience box.
You get all the basic moves, and two Crooked moves:
b
Artifact:
You ‘found’ a magical artifact with handy
powers, and kept it. Pick one: Protective amulet
(1-armour magic recharge), Lucky charm (may be
used as a Luck point, once only), Grimoire (studying
the book gives +1 forward to use magic), Skeleton
key (opens any magically sealed lock), Imp stone (A
weak demon is bound to serve the holder. The imp
must be summoned with the
use magic
move).
b
Crew:
You have a regular crew, a team of three or
four people who will help you out with pretty much
anything. They count as a team (see page 119).
b
Deal with the Devil:
You sold your soul to the Devil.
Pick one or two things you got out of the deal: wealth,
fame, youth, sensual gratification, skill (add +1 to
two ratings). Payment is due either when you die, in
six months (if you picked two things) or otherwise
in a year.
b
Friends on the Force:
You know a few cops who
can be persuaded to look the other way, or do you
a favour, for certain considerations. You can
act
under pressure
to get in touch with them when you
need to divert any law enforcement attention. There
will be a cost, although maybe not right now.
b
Made:
You’re “made” in a gang. Name the gang and
describe how their operations tie into your back-
ground. You can call on gang members to help you
out, but they’ll expect to be paid. Your bosses will
have requests for you now and again, but you’ll be
paid. Minor trouble will be overlooked, but you
better not screw over any other made gangsters.
b
Driver:
You have +1 ongoing while driving, plus you
can hotwire anything (the older it is, the fewer tools
you need to do it). You also own two handy, wide-
ly-available vehicles (perhaps a sportscar and a van).
b
Home Ground:
Your crew made a point of keeping
the locals happy - keeping them safe, ensuring things
always went down okay. When you’re back in your
old neighbourhood, you can always find people who
will hide you or help you with a minor favour, no
questions asked.
b
Notorious:
You have a reputation from your crim-
inal past. When
you reveal who you are,
your
terrifying reputation counts as a reason for people
to do what you ask, for the
manipulate someone
move. Revealing your identity to someone can create
other problems later, of course.

• This hunter saved your life when a monster had the
drop on you. Now you owe them one.
• This hunter worked with you on a semi-legal or
illegal job. Work out what it was.

You get all the basic moves, and pick three Divine moves:
b
Boss from Beyond: At the beginning of each
mystery,
roll +Weird. On a 10+, your Superiors ask
you to do something simple. On a 7-9, they ask you
to do something complicated or difficult. In either
case, you get to ask them one of the questions from
the
investigate a mystery
move right now. On a
miss, you are required to do something terrible. If
you do not accomplish what they’ve ordered, you
cannot use this move again until you have made up
for your failure.
b
Angel Wings:
You can go instantly to anywhere
you’ve visited before, or to a person you know well.
When
you carry one or two people with you,
roll
+Weird. On a 10+ you all go where you wanted. On
a 7-9, you don’t quite manage it. Either you are all
separated, or you all appear in the wrong place.
b
What I Need, When I Need It:
You may store any
small object you own, putting it into a magical space
nobody can get to. You may retrieve anything you
stored at any time; it appears in your hand.
b
Smite:
Your body and divine weapon always count
as a weakness against the monsters you fight. Your
unarmed attacks are 2-harm intimate hand messy.
Pick one divine weapon:
b
Flaming sword (3-harm hand fire holy)
b
Thunder hammer (3-harm hand stun holy)
b
Razor whip (3-harm hand area messy holy)
b
Five demon bag (3-harm close magic holy)
b
Silver trident (3-harm hand silver holy)
You also get divine armour (1-armour holy). It has a look
suited to your divine origin.
Moves
b
Soothe: When you talk to someone for a few
seconds in a quiet voice,
you can calm them down,
blocking any panic, anger, or other negative emo-
tions they have. This works even if the thing that
freaked them out is still present, as long as your
voice can be heard.
b
Lay On Hands:
Your touch can heal injury and
disease. When you
lay your hands on someone
hurt,
roll +Cool. On a 10+, heal 2 harm or an illness,
plus they’re stabilized. On a 7-9, you can heal the
harm or illness as on a 10+, but you take it into your-
self. On a miss, your aura causes them extra harm.
b
Cast Out Evil:
You may
banish an unnatural crea-
ture from your presence.
Roll +Tough. On a 10+ it
is banished. On a 7-9 it takes a little while for the
banishing to take effect—the creature has time to
make one or two actions. Either way, the banished
creature is unharmed, and you have no control over
where it goes. This move may be used on unnatural
hunters (e.g. the Monstrous). On a miss, something
is keeping it here. That’s bad.
