[edit] Abilities Gained From Mastery Paths

These abilities can be gained by adding mastery points into different mastery paths. These points also increase the 'effective level' of every base ability in their path, making them more powerful.

[edit] Path of Confession

The Path of Confession is direct and uncompromising, and focused primarily on direct and immediate opposition to heresy. A specialist in Confession will eschew subtlety and lengthy investigations in favor of simply approaching his enemy and beating the truth out of him. While not necessarily the most powerful approach, it is effective in its straightforward brutality, and provides a small measure of increased protection when the Witch Hunter finds himself under direct attack.

	Shroud Of Magnus	Action	5	Buff
	Repel Blasphemy	Action	9	Blessing

	Seeker's Triumph	Tactic	3	Buff
	Sanctified Bullets	Tactic	7	Buff
	Sweeping Razor	Tactic	11	Buff

[edit] Path of Inquisition

The Path of Inquisition is focused on longer and detailed investigations, weakening and progressively working over an enemy until the victim's guilt is all but assured. A player with heavy Inquisition Mastery may appear less powerful at first glance, but the devastating effects of his attacks are felt more and more as the fight progresses.

	Prolonged Confession	Tactic	7	Buff

[edit] Path of Judgment

The Path of Judgment is taken by Witch Hunters who are assured that their targets are guilty and no questioning is needed. They tend to take their suspects by surprise, and are at their best when the enemy's attention is elsewhere. A Master of Judgment will seek to avoid face-to-face confrontations, and will be at his most powerful when he has allies nearby that can distract his enemies, allowing the Witch Hunter to lay down very potent attacks.
