Order of the Monster Hunter

A Hunter is a person that makes a living by hunting monsters and doing requests for civilians. Wyverians started the hunting career over hundreds of years ago. Though hunting was their primary job, it slowly changed overtime to other objectives, such as delivering items and escorting travelers. This eventually led to the Hunter's Guild appearing to fill in many of those requests with hunters

Most people become hunters so they can gain wealth, fame, a better living, or other reasons. Some even become hunters to sneak out of crimes they've done. Some hunters are even criminals or ex-criminals-- this exception causes some places to disagree with the ways of the Hunter's Guild. Though the Hunter's Guild is nearly all over the world, it is actually illegal in the places that disagree with their ways. This is partially due to not taking blame for hunters of the organization.

Rite of the Hunt

When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the Rite of the Hunt as part of your Crimson Rite feature. When you activate the Rite of the Hunt, the extra damage dealt by your rite is radiant damage. Additionally, while that rite is active on your weapon, you gain the following benefits:

• Your weapon can be used as a "skinning" tool, to carve monsters for their parts.
• Select a creature type, except humanoid. You have resistance to damage from creatures of that type.
• When you hit an non-humanoid creature with a weapon for which the Rite of the Dawn is active, you roll an additional hemocraft die when determining the extra damage from the rite.

A monster can only be carved once per Monster hunter, pass or fail. Made a survival check, against that monster's challenge rating. On a success, you manage to either obtain a Defense Material or an Offense Material. You may slot defense materials into armor, and offense into weapons, which can hold a total amount equal to your proficiency bonus.

In addition, you can drink potions as a bonus action, without a free hand. If you drink a potion that heals you or gives you temporary hit points, that effect spreads to allies within 10ft of you. As a bonus action, you may set a trap down, which triggers when a creature other than you enters it's space (5ft x 5ft) or starts it's turn there.

All traps disappear one minute after triggering, and can trigger up to 2 times before not being able trigger a third time.
