Emulating the
Hunter archetype means accepting your place as a
Bulwark between civilization and the terrors of the
Wilderness. As you walk the Hunter’s path, you learn specialized
Techniques for
Fighting the threats you face, from rampaging
ogres and hordes of
orcs to towering
Giants and terrifying
Dragons.
