Not available to Mundane Hunters — see the Hunter overview for which types can access this Creed.

Who They Are

Vision Hunters were not just awakened by the God-Machine — they were shown something. Visions, impressions, glimpses of events that haven't happened yet or are happening somewhere else right now. The Moderators left something in them that stays open, that keeps transmitting. This is a gift and a burden in roughly equal measure — they know things before they materialize, and they see suffering they can't always prevent.

Best fit for Imbued (natural), Shih (moderate)
Core philosophy Seeing is not enough. You have to decide what to do with what you see.
Training focus Alertness, Investigation, Occult, Empathy, Meditation
