You are an experienced hunter of monsters in the Border Kingdoms, both to eliminate and to capture for clients. You have become familiar with their favored lairs, feeding and watering areas, habits, and territories, and so have a good idea of where to find them. Many Borderers know and repeat tavern- tales about the maraudings and cunning of monsters; you have learned what is truth and what is exaggeration in most of these tellings, and the precautions to take if success—and your survival of a hunt—is to be likely.
Feature: Tracker/Hunter
You are extremely familiar with the flora, fauna, and terrain of the Border Kingdoms. While in the Border Kingdoms, you can automatically identify the tracks of any beasts native to that region; similarly, you can know what foliage is safe to eat in the Border Kingdoms. Finally, given at least an hour in any wilderness setting in the Border Kingdoms, you can complete a successful hunt producing enough to eat for up to five other people each day.
Suggested Characteristics
Monster hunters are a diverse and colorful group who are experts on the flora and fauna of the wilds of the Border Kingdoms. They tend to be solitary, but not universally so. Their individual motivations can range from conservation to trophy hunting. All Monster Hunters are self reliant and very capable naturalists.
