Hunter[edit]
The Hunt is an eternal nightmare, an unending battle against beasts, monsters, and horrors beyond human comprehension. Those who take up the mantle of a Hunter are not warriors in the conventional sense—they are survivors, killers forged in blood and madness. Whether by fate, desperation, or a sinister design, they have stepped into the abyss, armed with only their will, cunning, and an arsenal of unnatural weaponry.
A Hunter is more than a mere slayer of beasts; they are relentless, adaptive, and instinctive. Their bodies, honed through relentless battle, move with an unnatural grace, dodging and countering with terrifying precision. They wield Trick Weapons, ingenious instruments of death that shift forms mid-combat, allowing them to adapt to any situation. With firearms in one hand and cold steel in the other, Hunters rely on speed, aggression, and tactical mastery to carve their way through the horrors of the night.
Yet, the Hunt is not without cost. The blood they spill seeps into them, whispering of power, change, and something far older than mankind. Those who hunt long enough begin to change—some become more than human, while others lose themselves entirely. The line between Hunter and Beast is thin, and all who take part in the Hunt must one day ask themselves:
When the nightmare ends, will I still be human?
"We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open... Fear the Old Blood."
Creating a Hunter[edit]

Some of the strongest hunters in history, [1] |
Before creating your Hunter, consider their origins. Were they a desperate soul seeking a cure, only to be ensnared in the Hunt? A warrior lured by the promise of forbidden power? Or perhaps something less human, a being shaped by the eldritch forces lurking behind the veil of reality? Whatever the case, a Hunter is defined not just by their strength, but by their will to endure.
Quick Build[edit]
You can make a Hunter quickly by following these suggestions:
- Your highest ability score should be Dexterity for quick and deadly strikes, or Strength if you prefer overwhelming power.
- Choose the Hunter of the Workshop, Church Hunter, or Cursed Survivor background.
- Select a race that fits your origin, such as Vileblood, Beast-Blooded, or Great One Kin.
