Veteran Hunter
Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting
The veteran hunter is an experienced warrior that has honed their craft hunting the supernatural creatures that lurk in the shadows, threatening human life. Well-equipped to handle confrontations with vampires, werewolves, and other such threats, veteran hunters may be able to offer heroes aid, should they meet on good terms. If nothing else, the contents of a veteran hunter’s pack will give intrepid adventurers valuable information regarding what equipment to seek out, should they choose to face similar threats.
