Church Hunter (Bloodborne Supplement)

Church Hunter

A Church Hunter, [1]

The Healing Church wields great influence over Yharnam, guiding the people through faith and blood. Yet, behind their sermons lies an army of Hunters—trained warriors tasked with exterminating the horrors that roam the night. As one of these Church Hunters, you were entrusted with cleansing the streets of beasts and heretics alike.

Trained under the Church’s doctrine, you may have followed their cause with unwavering faith, or perhaps you began to question their motives after seeing the dark truths hidden beneath Yharnam’s façade. Whether as a loyal servant or a rogue seeking redemption, your past as a Church Hunter has left an indelible mark on your soul.

Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in Religion and Survival.

Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency with Alchemist’s Supplies or Leatherworker’s Tools.

Equipment: A worn Church Hunter badge, a vial of refined blood, a silver pendant bearing the Church’s insignia, and a pouch containing 10 blood vials.

Feature: Blood of the Church

Your affiliation with the Healing Church grants you access to their hidden knowledge and medical resources. When in a settlement influenced by the Church, you can secure free treatment for injuries, diseases, or blood transfusions. You can also gain restricted access to their archives, allowing you to research topics related to blood ministration, the Great Ones, and the Hunt.

Additionally, other Church Hunters or members of the Healing Church will recognize your past affiliation, though their reaction depends on your current standing with the Church.
