Waywards have absolutely no regard for collateral damage and will readily take measures that would make even the most extreme Avenger balk. Wayward Edges are based around preparing for battle and engaging in it, allowing them to rally what few allies they have into a force of destruction. The party is almost certain to consist mostly if not entirely of other Waywards if you're a part of it, as just about all other hunters think you're completely insane- and they'd be absolutely right.

	Hermits and Waywards are the "lost" Creeds, for whom there was a "glitch" in the Imbuing that makes them crazier than most Hunters.		Hermits and Waywards are the "lost" Creeds, for whom there was a "glitch" in the Imbuing that makes them crazier than most Hunters.

	'''Hunter: The Reckoning''' is a roleplaying game by [[White Wolf\|White Wolf Studios]] set in the Old [[World of Darkness]]. Players are a "gifted" few called the '''Imbued''', normal people who become awakened by the Messengers and can see through the veil of ignorance and blindness. They have been granted the ability to view the supernatural horrors lurking in their world for what they really are, and when in great need, they can call upon powers called '''Edges''' with which to protect the innocent from the darkness.

	Many mistakenly assume that Hunter: the Reckoning is about kicking ass and blowing the heads off of zombies, but the game stresses that your character should not be a pumped up ex-marine, but rather an Average Joe who is suddenly and mysteriously made aware that the world is much, much worse than he thought it was, and some mysterious higher power chosen him to fix it. It is a horror game, not an action game, and this is reflected in how little Hunters are prepared for their new monster-hunting lives and the high mortality rate. In addition, Hunter ties in with the [[World of Darkness]] portrayal of good and evil as not clean-cut at all; there is a range of diverse philosophies, '''Creeds''', toward approaching the Hunt. While there is a definite theme that Hunters are the "good guy" for humanity, a more in-depth look shows that there is a fine line between Hunter and monster (especially when it comes to Mages), and the further along the road a Hunter goes, the less human he becomes. And then there is the question of the Messengers-- who or what are they and what is their true purpose? (As it turns out, they are in fact servants of [[Kindred of the East\|the Ebon Dragon and Scarlet Queen]]. It's complicated.)

	Every Hunter has a different philosophy in his approach toward the Hunt, but they can be divided into three main camps: ''Mercy'', ''Vision'' and ''Zeal''. Each Hunter has a rating in each of these Virtues, and every Hunter has a primary Virtue. These groups are further divided up into unofficial (to Hunters) factions called '''Creeds''', which are related to what the Hunter views as his general purpose or role in the Hunt. These are best summarized with how they respond to hearing a voice in their head telling them there's a monster nearby and being granted a "second sight" that allows you to see said monsters for they (physically) are.

	Recently had a 5th edition put out that completely forgoes the Imbued (atleast in the Core) for mundane, organizationally-unbacked Hunters (Making it closer to the old Hunter's Hunted book than anything). It's kinda wonky in terms of mechanics (every Hunter ~~edge~~ is Difficulty 4 to succesfully execute) and writing (The writing stamps it's feet and shouts to the heavens about how the Org-Hunters are all bad and should only be used as Antagonists.)
