Occultant

An Occultant tracks the creatures and foes that a franchise has bested, tricked, robbed from, and killed, weighing them against the deeds the franchise has achieved. Using the eldritch abacus for which this position is named, an Occultant measures the karmic coordinates of their franchise, hoping to gain portents of that which is yet to come. An Occultant measures the worth of life to the franchise, deciding if foes are more valuable dead or alive, and keeping track of debts owed and debts collected alongside the team's Hoardsperson. And, when a foe is slain, an Occultant's grim work is to extract as much value from the death as possible.
Formal Job Responsibilities Include:

• Tracking the kills and assess the value to the franchise of letting foes live or letting them die.
• Harvesting resources from slain foes including magical equipment, valuable body parts, useful organs, and worthwhile toxins.
• Prognostication of upcoming events based on past performance and dark sorcery bent to future divination.
• Keeping track of life debts, favors, and debts owed and the evaluation of their worth and utility and when to best demand them.
• Cooperation with other members of designated team in all mission-critical activities.
• Securing additional streams of revenue and acquisition of resources during missions (See 'Sidequest" clause in standard employment contract)

Upon initial selection for this position, an applicant will receive specialized training and equipment in the form of the following:

• Proficiency in Intimidation or Heal, or a +1 specialization bonus in either skill should the character already have skill ranks in both of them.
• An Acquisitions Incorporated standard-issue Occultant Abacus (sometimes just referred to as an Occultant) whose beads resemble tiny skulls. In addition to this, a merchant's scale, five waterproof belt pouches in which to store creature parts in, and a fine scalpel.

And upon attaining a promotion in their selected career path, an Obviator will gain the following abilities and privileges associated by rank:

Rank	Ability	Privilege

Most Occultants tend to be grim and enigmatic figures. Even your closest companions might be wary of the power you channel, and no one wears the aura of mystery like you do. You help advance your team by determining whether foes should live or die, prognosticating correctly (or at least authoritatively), keeping the rest of the party attuned to the importance of karma, and making the right calls on how to best "Clean up" the kills.

"I don't really understand occulatants, and to be honest, they scare the Abyss out of me."
