Hellcrafter

Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting

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.

Hellcrafter Tracks

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.

Hellbound. Having descended into Hell and emerged with an otherworldly command of fire, fuel your weapon’s strikes with wrathful brimstone.

Hordemaster. You specialize in summoning scores of hellspawn. By ripping fiends from Hell and binding them to dozens of corpses, you can raise a terrifying army in a matter of moments.

Ritualist. Through dark machinations and sinister incantations, you have become an expert in occult ritualism. Your capacity to manipulate occult rituals is nothing to be trifled with.

Hellbound Track

Note: This is a shared subclass track with the zealot class

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.
