Lost Creeds

Hermit (HPG 17-19)

• Patron 3 free, can buy it up to 4 or 5 (costed as if it were being bought from 0 up to 1 or 2).
• Derangement hampering social interaction, e.g. hysteria, manic depression, paranoia.
• +1 difficulty on all rolls while a 'monster' or other hunter (that you ICly know about) is within 100 feet

Wayward (HPG 21-23)

• Second Sight constantly active for free.
• Derangement making them violent and desensitized to suffering, e.g. megalomania, multiple personalities, fugue, schizophrenia.
• Can't use an edge to differentiate between types of monsters, e.g. Discern (Judgment 1), Witness (Martyrdom 2), Illuminate (Innocence 2).

Miscellaneous

Second Sight (HtR 132) is limited by '+rules sniping' as usual. If sniping is justified, then it identifies a target as a 'monster' (neither mortal nor hunter), though not what type, including bypassing supernatural illusions (e.g. Obfuscate) and seeing wraiths. Reactive Conviction (HtR 133) requires succeeding at a passive Awareness check per '+rules awareness'.

Exposure (HtR 122) doesn't overlap with Lores (+rules lores). It can justify the 'At Lore 0' clause, and also provide details on more unusual creatures (e.g. Urban Legends 91-102).

Conviction/virtues/edges can be raised with XP, replacing trading extra Conviction for virtues (HPG 86). Gaining your first edge at a new level is limited on the '+rules minimum time' scale.

Judgment 3 (Balance) (HtR 161) also affects the target's magic items for the duration, even if they give one to someone else afterward.

True Faith is allowed (HPG 97-99). Other supernatural merits are generally disallowed.
