You make your home in the wilderness making your living off of trapping animals. You spend countless hours tracking wildlife looking for the best places to set traps. Always on the hunt to find the best game you sell the furs for coin while their meat fills your belly. Sometimes keeping what you find alive and domesticating it become a companion or to sell later as a pet.

You have the ability to make one of two kinds of traps provided you have the supplies and the time needed to make and set the trap. Making and setting the trap takes one hour. You have advantage on checks used to hide the trap.
A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 15) to avoid the trap.
- Snare - This trap requires 25 feet of rope and a tree or tree branch strong enough to hold the snared creature in the air. A creature caught in the trap is restrained until it is freed. The creature can use its action at the end of it's turn to make a Strength check (DC 15) to break free. The creature takes 1d6 fall damage for every 10 feet he falls from freeing himself.
- Swinging trap - This trap requires 10 foot rope and a heavy item that is roughly 1 square foot in size. On a failed save, the target takes 2d10 bludgeoning damage and is stunned until the end of it's next turn.
