Class Tree
Hunter
Lone wolf of the wild — isolate, predict, and strike from unseen paths.
The Hunter is the lone wolf class. Used to being on his own, comfortable away from civilization, his specialty lies in coaxing the bear away from its family, in leading the deer down the wrong path, and attacking out of sight. While Hunters are generally known for their use of bow and arrow, many hunters are skilled with the knife, spear, and even the sword. And the hunter's prey will vary from a tiny fawn, to a terrifying wolf, to an unobservant noble… Due to his time in the wilderness and on his own, and the fact that hand to hand battle in the wild is part of daily life, the hunter should expect to have a better Fortitude curve than most, a decent defensive curve, and an exceptional amount of skills. Wisdom is the main tool in the Hunter's arsenal: the insight into his target's thoughts allows the Hunter to predict movement, dictate actions, and influence his enemy's decisions on the battlefield.
