Outlander - Beast Hunter (Grim Hollow)

Hunters make their living by trapping, hunting,
and killing vicious beasts. Some provide meat and
furs for settlements, or for trade. The strongest
may become a community’s best defense against
wandering monsters.. They are often as brutish
as the creatures they hunt, heavily scarred
from close encounters with their prey. They are
proficient in setting many different traps, from
simple snares to spring-loaded traps and cages.
The beast hunter typically favors ranged weapons
when taking down larger prey, avoiding close
range where possible. Some favor stealth, lying
patiently in ambush, while others revel in the
thrill of the chase. Beast hunters have a natural
aptitude for tracking all manner of beasts, quickly
noticing signs that an animal has passed by, down
to an exact time and direction of travel.
