Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition is a tabletop RPG where you play as ordinary humans who have been "Imbued" with supernatural awareness, allowing you to see and hunt the monsters that prey on humanity. As part of the Vigil, you track your Conviction, manage your Edges, and work with your cell to protect the innocent.

Each Creed offers unique Edges and approaches to hunting.
