The Humacti

Humacti follow in the tradition set by the great Priest of Life, Humact. During his life his goal was to rid the world of all Undead and those who created them. The Humacti are loosely affiliated to the Temple of Life, though they have their own leaders and command structure.

Though the Spirit Guides of Barbarian Witch Doctor’s register as Undead, the Kingdom’s position is that this does not violate the laws against Necromancy as they appear to be self willed, voluntary manifestations. The Humacti publicly accept this interpretation, though individual Humacti are free to make up their own mind, and on the occasions where a Humacti has “accidentally” destroyed a Spirit Guide, the individual has always received the full support of the Humacti.

Joining

A starting character can join the guild immediately.

A non-starting character must prove their worth before joining the Humacti. The usual test is for the character to defeat an Undead of higher Rank, or by destroying many Undead with total Ranks exceeding twice the character’s Rank. Only after proving their devotion are they inducted as full members of the Humacti. The Character Ref will decide if/when they are ready.

  • hunt down and destroy all Undead.
  • hunt down and destroy all Necromancers and Priests of Death known to raise Undead.

Bonuses

A member of the Humacti gains the following bonuses.

  • [LOSE] He can use the title Humacti.
  • [KEEP BOUGHT] He can learn the Detect Undead miracles at half cost.
  • [KEEP BOUGHT] He can learn Turn Undead miracles at half cost.
  • [LOSE] He gains a bonus of Guild Rank/10 to the amount of Willpower added to Turn/Destroy Undead miracles

Example: Redferne, a a Guild Rank 22 Humacti has 2 natural Willpower, his Humacti bonus gives him an extra 2 Willpower added to Turn Undead. This gives him a combined 4 Willpower added to Turn Undead, but this is still halved as usual to 2. Hence he could cast:
Turn Undead 1 as Turn Undead 2.
Turn Undead 2 as Turn Undead 4.
Turn Undead 3 as Turn Undead 5 etc.

Redferne could also use this bonus on Destroy Undead:
Turn Undead 3 as Destroy Undead 1, which becomes Destroy Undead 2
Turn Undead 4 as Destroy Undead 2, which becomes Destroy Undead 4
Turn Undead 5 as Destroy Undead 3, which becomes Destroy Undead 5 etc.

  • [KEEP RESTRICTED] He gains Normal and Power armour equal to his Guild Rank/10 effective only against Undead attacks (melee, ranged and magical). Spells and Miracles which give protection have their effects added to this value. This does not impose a Dexterity penalty
    Hunt down and destroy all Undead.
    Hunt down and destroy all Necromancers and Priests of Death known to raise Undead.
  • [LOSE] He is immune to Death and Necromantic Fear.
  • [LOSE] He gains a bonus to Willpower equal to his Rank divided 10 when resisting effects from Undead or Necromancers (this does not include Life Ward).
  • [LOSE] He gains a bonus to Toughness equal to his Rank divided 10 when resisting Paralysis effects from Undead or Necromancers.
