You have been trained to fight against monstrosities and other threats to civilisation by either an organisation or a specialised military branch dedicated to this cause. You are not only trained in physical or magical combat, but also in identifying and tracking your target monster, as well as potentially setting traps for them.
- Skill Proficiencies: Two of the following: Survival, Nature, Athletics, Acrobatics
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose two from the following: Alchemist's Supplies, Herbalism Kit, Poisoner's Kit
- Equipment: A Hunter's Notebook, one of the tools you gain proficiency with, 50 ft. of hempen hope, 5 glass vials, a large knife, 3 small containers for materials to study and a pouch containing 10 gp
As part of your training, you have been taught to study a creature to better know more about them, and to keep notes of your findings. You have a notebook in which you can take various notes about the monsters you fight.
Studying a monster outside of combat may give you an idea on its hunting behaviour and let you set a trap better. Studying the corpse may let you figure things out like its damage output, approximate health or armour class. Facing or seeing one in battle may help you figure out how well it fights.
Your DM can have you roll a nature or survival check to make accurate notes.
If you have successfully identified a creature and have notes on it, you may use those notes to gain advantage in tracking it.
At your DMs discretion, you may start with notes on a couple monsters in your notebook.
Suggested Characteristics
A monster hunter is thoroughly trained, but they may do what they do for very different reasons. They can do it for fame, for the thrill or just to help people.
