8 Rituals

Over the centuries, the Hunt has yielded a harvest of dark secrets and unnatural lore. The most abhorrent and compelling of these are Rituals. These dark incantations, inscriptions, and songs allow the most dogged of Cazadores to bend the natural order to their will and wield it against their Foes.

In campaigns, Cazadores can also burden their most steadfast companions with the contrivances of these despicable hymns.

The frailty of the human will means Cazadores and Companions can only bear knowledge of 3 Rituals and must forego all memory of an existing Ritual to learn the inner workings of another. Similarly, successfully casting a Ritual also temporarily corrupts the portion of the mind on which it is inscribed, limiting each Ritual to a single successful casting per Hunt.

Unless noted otherwise:

  • Ongoing effects expire at the end of the Hunt.
  • Rituals that affect all models include the casting Model.
  • When the effects of a Ritual require a roll, roll once and apply the value to all Models affected.

Fiendish tools make no distinctions ’tween earthly flesh.
