Prepared hunter
Monster Hunter
Monster Hunters treat every creature as a problem that can be studied, tracked, prepared for, and brought down with the right tools.
The class rewards research, scouting, target selection, and adapting tactics to the enemy rather than relying on one universal attack plan.
At the table, a Monster Hunter helps the party understand what they are fighting and turns that knowledge into practical advantages.
