  • Monster Hunter - Fighter/Specialist Mage (Alchemist) Kit
    Monster Hunter - Fighter/Specialist Mage (Alchemist) Kit Required - Str: 13, Dex: 14, Con:13, Int: 15. Any non-evil human, demi-human or humanoid with the ability to become a magical spell-caster. The monster hunter is a trained combatant and magical specialist who uses martial skill and knowledge of alchemical compounds to neutralise supernatural and magical menaces. Akin to the Paladin or Ranger, this character is usually of good alignment - although neutrally aligned monster hunters are not prohibited. There are no evil monster hunters. The monster hunter is a fanatical character, singly obsessed in his objective to strike out against the supernatural and magical creatures who menace his society. Usually, as his career progresses his work will take him far away from home. In a community, he may be viewed upon with suspicion - the monster hunter is something of an eccentric loner. His lonely existence, gruff appearance, mystical tattoos and the strange tools he carries suggest he's to be feared - if not respected. Despite his physical attributes the monster hunter is an intellectual and spends as much of his time researching his prey as he does fighting them - which is why he is so good at his job. The rest of his time is spent developing and enhancing his magical and alchemical knowledge which leaves him with little time to interact with others - even if a member of an adventuring party. This kit is open to any race who can become a magical spell-caster (including humans, who may not usually be multi-classed characters) provided they can meet the stringent requirements - so demanding is this kit, only the best can be selected to train as monster hunters.
