From publisher blurb: “The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls…” - Edgar Allan Poe No matter what form they take, monsters hide. Whether behind the kindly expressions of a malicious tyrant, the seductive smile of glamoured hag, or in the darkness it calls home, the monsters of the world hide for many a reason. A common reason is the persecutor. Hunters of men and monsters, of mages and the mundane, persecutors root out and quell destructive forces for the sake of their own people. Trained to be relentless and merciless, few of these brave individuals survive their instruction. Those that do must undergo a final test: Alchemical Mutation. Persecutors are taught an archaic form of alchemy that allow them to create their own mutagens and extracts. To pass the trial, they must imbibe a mutagen of their own making without dying or going permanently insane. The singular pupils who pass become violent exemplars of unconventional justice. The persecutor is an alchemist/ranger hybrid class.
