Well....
There is the Horror that hunts Horrors. But that's almost as bad as the
Horrors themselves.
Especially if you've been marked. (**OUCH**)

I think that's the thing that makes ED dark. No goody two shoes angels
showing up to save the day.

Passions? Nah, the horrors managed to corrupt some of them...
Lightbringers? No... they're only human... I guess this would be a 'no'
as far as I can tell...

Mark has a very good point, and especially for all those GMs who need a
way to make this even more a one-sided fight, I offer one of my house
rules on armor: if the armor rating is greater than the Power Level, add
one die to the resistance test for every 2 points it's greater...

That won't happen all that often in normal combat, but if insect spirits
(or worse) get involved, it works wonders against CMDTs :)
