[[Class Tracks (MythCraft Harker's playtest)|[back to class tracks]]]
Summoners that specialize in drawing fiends from the pits of a hellscape created through unknowable occult magic, hellcrafters are brutal summoners and powerful commanders. By imbuing a corpse with the spirit of a fiend, hellcrafters create hellspawn, powerful minions that enforce their masters’ will. As a hellcrafter, you can develop your talents summoning a multitudinous swarm of hellspawn, summon one powerful hellspawn champion, or cultivate your skills as a ritualist. You might also embrace the path of the hellbound, suffusing your Essence with energy from hell.


You have a magic brand on your body that rejects any attempts to heal or remove it, even through magic. This brand has given you strange abilities, such as the ability to see into the spiritual world or to witness ghosts that others might not notice. Furthermore, your brand occasionally bursts forth into ghostly light, filling you with otherworldly power.

The exact nature of how and why you have this brand is up to you and your MC. If you are playing ''[[Soliloquy of Annihilation]]'' or ''Daughter of the Shadows'', the campaign includes specific lore justifications for your brand. Your MC will give you some information about your brand at the beginning of the campaign, and you will learn more as you play.
'''[[Hellcrafter#Champion Track|Champion.]]''' Summon a powerful spirit from Hell to imbue into a mighty corpse. By twisting occult magic to your will, you augment this hellspawn with great power to fight as your champion.
 
'''[[Hellcrafter#Hellbound Track|Hellbound.]]''' Having descended into Hell and emerged with an otherworldly command of fire, fuel your weapon’s strikes with wrathful brimstone.

|'''Branded'''
|'''Hellcrafter Entry'''
|[[Berzerker]] Entry
|Character Level 2
|You have a brand on your body that magically reappears whenever you magically heal it, cut it off, or otherwise try to remove it. Gain the Fury ability. Whenever you use Fury, your brand bursts into flames that cause no mechanical harm to you or any other creature or object. This results in searing psychic pain, but your resolve allows you to make this mechanically negligible.
|When you take this entry talent, gain the following abilities.
'''Fury:''' When you make a melee attack, you may gain +2 to your attack rolls, but all attacks against you have TA and your mental defenses reduce by 2. This lasts until the start of your next turn.
 
|''Berzerker, Branded''
* '''Essence Burn (1/Recoup).''' When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you may take 1d4 psychic damage that you cannot negate or reduce. In exchange, the creature suffers Burning 1d4.
 
* '''Soulbind (1/Rest).''' By touching a corpse for 1 minute, you draw forth a spirit from hell and imbue its Essence into the corpse. You create a ML 1 or lower hellspawn that follows your unspoken commands. This is your Hellspawn Champion. The Hellspawn Champion lasts for 24 hours or until you use this power on a new corpse. Alternatively, you may use this power to extend the life of a creature summoned in this way for an additional 24 hours.
 
* '''Occult.''' You gain +1 Occult Power from this talent and from every talent you take in the Hellcrafter stack. You do not gain additional SP unless noted in an individual talent.

Blood Circle costs 4 AP and targets every creature within 5 ft of you. Roll one attack with your weapon, comparing it to the AR of each creature within range. On a hit, they take normal weapon damage. On a miss, they take no damage.
=== Hellbound Track ===
|''Berzerker, Branded''
<blockquote>Note: This is a shared subclass track with the zealot class </blockquote>
Having clawed their way from the very pits of the inferno, the Hellbound walks a thin line between zeal and sacrilege; empowered to act by the brand of Hell upon their soul. Through sheer will and command of darker forces these warriors supplant the divine with the profane, yet they seek ever to redeem themselves from the misdeeds of their past lives, freed now from the grip of damnation, and determined to break that hold upon not only their own whims but of others cursed by the denizens of Hell.
Many Hellbound strive to cleanse their diabolical powers and channel their fiery wrath for good, while others embrace their insurmountable link with damnation and give in to its overwhelming power.

|'''Horde Summoner'''
|Hellcrafter Entry
|When you use Soulbind, you may touch four or more corpses. If you do, rather than creating one Hellspawn Champion, you create a Hellspawn Swarm, or your “Horde”. The swarm uses the stats of a hellspawn with a ML equal to or less than 1⁄2 the number of hellcrafter talents you have.
It is considered a Huge swarm of Medium creatures. During combat, the swarm cannot function unless you are within the swarm. While you are within the swarm, it is treated as a 5 ft radius aura that is centered on you. If it has a fly speed, halve this speed. You gain this fly speed while within the swarm. You may spend 2 AP on each of your turns to cause the swarm to make one of its attacks. You have +2 to your AR and physical defenses while your swarm is not Bloodied, and +1 to these defenses while your swarm is Bloodied.
 
A creature may target you or the swarm. You have Vulnerable AOE 1 while your swarm is active.
