Grim, monster slayer

"The wilderness gives me solace as I continue my grim purpose: to slay that which would threaten the natural order." - Grim, monster slayer

You grew up on the fringes of your settlement, spending more time in the wilderness beyond than in the safety of your own homestead. In your youth you came to love the serenity of rugged nature over the clamor of frivolous settled life. You are more at home with the wolves and the elk than with nobles and debutantes. In your early adulthood you made the decision to leave civilization completely in exchange for a life in the wilds. Now, you defend your heartland from supernatural monstrosities that threaten to upset the balance of nature, and from the cruelties of careless hunters or loggers who regard the natural cycle of life with disrespectful indifference.

As you are more at home in the wilderness than in civilization, you must determine how you intend to survive on your own merits. Do you hone your physical prowess until you can go toe to toe with the strongest warrior? Do you sharpen your senses and your survival skills, stalking prey through rugged wilds with more finesse than any cat or bird? Maybe you tap into the Primal Source, using magic to enhance your physical capabilities and to speak with the animals whose home you share.

Ranger Tracks

Additional Subclass Tracks

Vampire Hunter Track

Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting

The ultimate specialist, the Vampire Hunter excels in their mastery of undead, or rather, their ability to dispatch them. Dedicated to hunting down and eradicating the risen and all their ilk, these rangers learn to craft an array of unique weapons, equipped to handle the foul powers brought to bear against them. Vampire Hunters come from all walks of life: sacred orders tasked with the eradication of the profane, warriors plagued by a vampire’s devastation, or even those that seek to keep the wilds free of undead influence, all of them united by a singular philosophy: the dead should remain buried.

Talent PreReq Description Tags
Apprentice Hunter Ranger Entry Repeatable. Gain +4 Skill Points that you can spend on any skill with the observation or survival tag.

Choose a single tool from the list of Hunter’s Tools. Whenever you Take a Rest, you may craft this tool for free using available resources you have on hand. Hunter’s Tools can be used up to 1⁄2 AWR/Rest, at which point they break or are exhausted, and must be remade.

Taking this talent again grants you access to a new tool. You can also pick a single tool you already possess, now regaining +1 use of that tool when you Recoup. This may stack, but cannot surpass your maximum limit on uses, 1⁄2 AWR/Rest.

List of Tools

  • Throwing Crucifix: An altered boomerang with multiple piercing blades set along a center throwing ring. For 2 AP, you can throw the Throwing Crucifix at a creature within 30 ft, even if they have Full Cover. Make a ranged attack using your AWR against the creature’s AR and any two creatures within 5 ft of the target. On a hit, deal 1d6+AWR sharp damage and the Throwing Crucifix returns to your hand immediately after.
  • Combat Trap: A series of traps that can be deployed quickly to cover a field of engagement. For 3 AP, you can set a single combat trap. Choose a point within 5 ft of you. When a creature moves into that square, it takes 2d4 sharp damage and gains the Slowed condition until the end of their next turn. If a creature does not see you set this trap, they must make a AWR/Perceiving check against a DC equal to 10 + your AWR to notice it. You may have as many traps active at one time as you have uses of this tool. A trap has 5 HP, an AR of 10, and can be disabled, with the same DC equal to the Perceiving check to notice it.
  • Repeating Crossbow: This weapon possesses the stats of a standard hand crossbow, but its APC to fire is 1 and it uses your AWR for attack and damage rolls. You may fire 1 bolt per AP you spend, up to 1⁄2 your AWR. Each bolt fired deals +1d4 damage and consumes 1 use of the tool.
  • Scatter Spark: A crafty concoction of alchemical powder and shrapnel that you can hurl to distract and dismay a creature for 2 AP. Make a special attack using your AWR against the FORT of any creature within 15 ft. On a hit, the creature is Blinded until the end of their next turn.
Ranger, Vampire Hunter, Repeatable
Profane Hunt Apprentice Hunter Gain the Profane Hunt ability.
  • Profane Hunt (2/Rest). You are an expert at tracking and defeating creatures of a profane origin. You may spend 2 AP to make a special attack with your AWR against the ANT of a creature with the undead or fiend tag within your Line of Sight. On a hit, this creature cannot benefit from the Concealed or Unseen condition from you, and you always know the direction you need to travel to find it. Profane Hunt lasts until you Take a Rest, or until you use it again on a different creature.
Ranger, Vampire Hunter
Profane Hunt II Profane Hunt You no longer need to see a creature to start a Profane Hunt. So long as you have a possession that belonged to the target, or evidence of its passing (such as a corpse slain by the creature, or obvious foot prints), you may use Profane Hunt as if that creature was in your Line of Sight. If you have successfully used Profane Hunt on this creature before, you may roll 2d20 for the attack and take the higher of the two rolls. Ranger, Vampire Hunter
Indiscriminate Hunter Profane Hunt II Choose the beast, humanoid, monstrosity, plant, celestial, eldritch, elemental, or fae tag. You may now apply the effects of Profane Hunt to these creatures. Ranger, Vampire Hunter, Repeatable
