Hex Hunter

Martial archetype The following option is available to fighters upon reaching 3rd level.

Hexhunter You've seen these tracks before. You know that they do this on purpose to throw people off from finding them after they've dragged their prey back to their home. You know better than that. After all, you can smell their fear.

Hexhunters are trained combatants who have manipulated basic magic into vengeful curses. They're empowered by arcane crystals imbued into their very being, empowering their every step and swing to hunt and annihilate their enemies.
