Hunter Book: Innocent

Hunter Book: Innocent is a creed book for Hunter: The Reckoning.

Summary

From the White Wolf catalog:

Let He Without Sin. . .
"Monsters exist. What's so hard to understand? The hard part is helping them. If we don't, we're no better." Innocents: the unabashed, direct and accepting among hunters. The Innocent recognize that monsters were once people; that there's a fine line between human and inhumane, and that even hunters can cross it. Innocents naive? No. Assuming all creatures are evil - that's naive.
. . .Cast the First Stone
Hunter Book: Innocent is the third in a new Hunter: The Reckoning series dedicated to the creeds, the character types of the imbued. Learn Innocents' philosophies, motives and ultimate goals in the struggle against the supernatural. Innocents strive for peace. They accept those creatures who are deserving, but are prepared to condemn the remorseless - and all these new powers and tools further the cause. Who said the meek would inherit the Earth?
