The path of the Demon Hunter is one of paradox—embracing the shadows in order to
destroy them. Through dark pacts, forbidden rites, and deep study of the Lower Planes,
these warriors have tapped into sinister magic to better confront fiends and the corruption
they sow. Though they despise evil, Demon Hunters walk among it, wielding its power as
a weapon to root out infernal threats wherever they may lurk. But power has its price. The deeper
a Demon Hunter dives into demonic knowledge, the more they risk becoming what they swore to
destroy. With each battle, the line between hunter and monster grows thinner, and the shadows grow
deeper.
