Inquisition

Introduction:

The last Inquisition brought about the masquerade. The struggle between life and unlife withdrew to the shadows. In secret the monsters bred and organized. And in secret the inquisition hunted them.

The Inquisition of Modern Nights is a decrepit organization that clings to the warfare of the previous age: with gun and blade. While their enemies have adapted, infiltrating every layer of society, with vast wealth and influence at their disposal. It is rumored that the Lords of Night no longer any real need for arms, except to humiliate the Servants of Light.

You are freshly minted Inquisitorial cadets. Deployed as a self-sustaining Hunter cell, you roam the planet, fight the damned and live off your own crafts. Your current Base of Operations is a Truck Stop in the Middle of Nowhere, where a sympathetic bar owner has provided billets, contacts with various suppliers and traveling salesmen, and even waged employment for benched characters.

Your First Mission from the Inquisition is to visit the town of Forks, Washington - where you are to investigate rumours of Vampires and other supernatural creatures operating openly. Your inquisitorial mandate is to annihilate any monsters you find, and purge any traitors or conspirators among the human population. Government relations to the inquisition is mixed, those within the government who are aware of the supernatural are suspicious of everyone else. And others are conspiring on the side of the damned, hoping to gain unlife for themselves. In any case, discretion is advised, and even if the situation degenerates, it is best to find a way to maintain some semblance of order.

You are being paid $2000 per man upfront for this assignment, with performance bonuses and xp points for survivors.

Other Notes: The diversification and priority splitting in WoD prevents 1 hit wonders, like characters who can only fight or only use a support skill.

Rules:
Inquisition is based on World Of Darkness: Hunter, the Reckoning.

There are 3 basic types of rolls in WoD:

Normal - Where the sum of the related attributes are taken as dice and rolled against a difficulty level. Each Die above the difficulty is a success. A minimum of one success is needed for an action to succeed. Natural 1s negate successes and cause crit-fails if there are more 1s than successes.

Extended - Where an action needs a set number of successes to complete. This is common for team actions.

Resisted - Where 2 characters make rolls and their successes are compared to determine the victor.

A roll for a gunshot would take Dex+Firearms as the number of dice, rolled against a default difficulty of 6, and the number of successes will be counted. - With the weapon damage being applied in case of success.
The defender might take a normal roll to roll to dodge. Or he might block or parry a weapon strike.

Characters can attack or defend multiple times per turn. The formula for number of dice is (sum of attributes and traits - total number of actions - summative value of actions).
3 Attacks/Defenses with 8 dice would have 5 dice on the first attack, 4 on the second, 3 on the third.

Armor and Stamina in WoD rolls to soak damage. Mortals can't resist most damage with stamina though. But vampires can shrug off gunfire.

Logistics wise, we might pile the whole team into a couple of trucks to prevent a giant convoy from drawing attention.

At least for the first mission or so.

Ah refreshed it. I thought you forgot to bring guns.

Grenade throws in Vampire the Masquerade are Dex/str+Brawl. in Hunter they are Dex/str+Athletics. Either one will do. I'll just take the higher values.

You're over., xp expenditure wise. Let me crunch an optimal distribution in a bit.

Level 2 in an attribute would cost 10, level 3, 15 level 4, 20, etc.

Prioritizing Social > Physical > Mental, your stats would look like this:

Then Knowledges > Skills > Talents
