WHY TRY IT — AND WHAT TO TEST
An official monster-hunting role meets a reward system with a distinctly unsettling currency. The invitation is the contrast between a world full of dread and a protagonist treating danger as useful work.
A frightening world provides an unusual occupation
Calamities, aberrations and maddening whispers make Lloyd's surroundings difficult to regard as ordinary. His attribute panel gives him a direct incentive to approach some of those threats: executing monsters produces rewards and opportunities to improve his stats. Joining the Holy Judgment Court turns that incentive into an institutional role. He becomes an executor in a place where terrible things are already part of the work.
The point allocation changes the perspective
The listed rewards use Madness Points, while Lloyd responds with practical enthusiasm about assigning them. That mismatch gives the premise a darkly playful edge. A threat that terrifies the mortal world can also look like another opportunity to the person coming out of the Inquisition. Start with the opening for Lloyd's entry into that work and the first time his panel makes a horrifying encounter seem worth pursuing.
