Way of the Gourmet Hunter

The Way of the Gourmet Hunter teaches its students to respect food and all the boundless energy that it provides. These monks have an unbridled passion for cooking and the culinary arts and often take jobs as personal chefs or run their own restaurants. Monks that follow this tradition should not be treated lightly just because of their love of food. Gathering rare ingredients can be a demanding job, and a Gourmet Hunter must be exceptionally skilled in hunting as some of those rare ingredients are deadly creatures.
