You are skilled in the hunt. Whether it be animal or beast, a Monster Hunter's prerogative is to seek and kill. There are many reasons one chooses to hunt, sustenance, wealth, glory, survival, and the most common, revenge. You must find your reason and uphold your values to become a worthy Monster Hunter.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Survival, Investigation, Arcana, or Intimidation
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose two of these proficiencies, Tinkering Kit, Blacksmith Tools, or Forgery Kit.
- Languages: Choose two, one of which is exotic. (Goblin, Orc, Abyssal, Celestial)
- Equipment: A monster hunter’s pack, one trinket of special significance (choose one or roll on the Gothic Trinkets table after this background). Also gain a set of set of common clothes and 10 GP.
You are well adapted with your senses to pick up the traces of quarry, be it through their scat, disturbed terrain, or tracks. You gain advantages on rolls for decerning general signatures of monsters nearby, like the territorial claw marks of an owlbear, or the slime trails of oozes.
