Since your childhood years, good chance or bad luck found you in the path of a Witcher. Forged by rigorous training in magics, alchemy and combat, you have been permanently changed by the "Trial of the Grasses" to mutate through torments unknown into something more than man, holding a unique mind and skill set to slay monsters. Raised by your those of your own profession, you've learned to employ your augmented senses to track and defeat a wide array of horrors; both natural or unnatural.

Witcher School
Though the principles of training are one and the same, witcher schools teach a different approach when confronting monsters. Some employ a deeper learning of Sign magics like the Griffin School, others an advanced understanding of swordsmanship like the Viper School. Choosing a school defines your formative years, developing an attachment to one of the essential pillars of all Witchers: balance of the wolf, stealth of the cat, brute force of the bear, swordsmanship of the viper, magic of the griffin, alchemy of the manticore, the innovation of the crane, and the intelligence of the raven.

Feature: Witcher Experience
Having traveled a decent part of the continent, you have found the best way to exercise your craft: monster hunting. You have an innate deductive and sensory ability to find everything from rumors to official posters that might offer some sort of clue to a job fit for the skills of a Witcher, as well as the determination to accord a proper price for your services.
Furthermore, you know the precise location of a Witcher school, knowing every cranny of the surrounding terrain to access one of these protected fortresses.
Spell List
Suggested Characteristics
Witchers might seem like villains, monsters, or outcasts on the surface, and in a way, they are. The Trial of the Grasses strip most of their emotions, but the degree in which these concoctions and mutations affect each vary. For this, you may hold a separation from the world and those who live in it in the form of an unshakable grudge, a natural position of neutrality between man and beast, or the sensation of being a necessary evil in this chaotic world.
