Headhunter Rengar (5e Class)
Pridestalker[edit]
The Kiilash are a vast tribe of formidable hunters, known throughout the continent for their unparalleled tracking and combat skills. Living deep in dense forests and rugged mountains, the Kiilash hunt the most dangerous beasts to protect their territory and sustain their traditions. Each member of the tribe takes pride in their physical strength, endurance, and combat prowess.
Rengar was born into this tribe, but he stood out from his peers from an early age. Despite not possessing the same brute strength as the other Kiilash, Rengar compensated for this with sharp intelligence and a natural talent for hunting. He carefully observed the behavior of his prey, learning their patterns and weaknesses, and developed clever strategies to take them down.
