You were most likely inducted into an order of mage hunters at birth. Raised to be a little more than a killing machine, you are skilled in combat against practitioners of the arcane. Perhaps you are a skilled practitioner yourself, adeptly weaving counters and retorts to your opponents spellcasting. More likely though, you wield a mix of skill in both arms and the arcane, utilizing both to their full potential to bring your target down. Woe unto the careless wizard who draws the ire of a mage hunter, for they will surely realize their folly when you tear their magic to sunders and visit your wrath upon their body.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Arcana, Investigation, Religion, or Survival
- Languages: Choose two, one of which must be Abyssal, Celestial, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or Undercommon
- Equipment: A set of traveler’s clothes, a trinket, and a pouch containing 10 gold pieces.
Feature: Know Your Enemy
You are well-versed in the nature of the arcane. If you don’t know or can’t recall particular information about a piece of magic, you often know where that information can be found, or with whom. If you find yourself in such a place or with such a person, you can collect the information you are looking for, including the nature of the magic, and how to resist or counter it.
Suggested Characteristics
You have lived a life that is unlike most others. Raised to follow orders, usually orders to kill, you have a hard time connecting with people on a personal or emotional level. You often come off as heartless, or even psychopathic.
