Hunter

War has been your life for as long as you care to remember. You trained as a youth, studied the use of weapons and armor, learned basic survival techniques, including how to stay alive on the battlefield. You might have been part of a standing national army or a mercenary company, or perhaps a member of a local militia who rose to prominence during a recent war.

When you choose this background, work with your DM to determine which clan you were a part of, how far through its ranks you progressed, and what kind of experiences you had during your life. Was it a small clan or a large clan, Honorable Hunters, or Bad Bloods? Was your clan one with great influence, or one of very little influence? You may not belong to any clan, be it from being exiled, the clan being wiped out, or even scattered after some event.
