Hunter of the Workshop (Bloodborne Supplement)

Hunter of the Workshop

A seasoned hunter of the old Workshop, [1]

Before the Healing Church’s influence spread and twisted the art of hunting into a faith-based war, the Workshop stood as the last bastion of true hunters. You were trained in its old techniques, wielding trick weapons and firearms with precision, embracing skill over brute strength or fanatical devotion. Perhaps you trained under Gehrman himself, or maybe you found remnants of the Workshop’s knowledge in forgotten tomes and the whispers of old hunters.

The old Workshop has long since been abandoned, but its legacy endures through those who still fight the horrors of the night with discipline rather than blind fervor. You are one such hunter, carrying the burden of its traditions.

Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in Perception and Survival.

Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency with Tinker's Tools or Smith's Tools.

Equipment: A set of well-maintained hunter’s attire, a Tinker's Kit or Smith's Tools, a hunting journal filled with notes on beasts and eldritch creatures, and a pouch containing 10 blood vials (potions that restore a small amount of health).

Feature: Legacy of the First Hunters

Your understanding of the Workshop’s methods grants you an edge in combat and tracking. You have advantage on Intelligence (History) checks to recall information about trick weapons, old hunter techniques, and pre-Church hunting methods. Additionally, when tracking a beast, eldritch creature, or unnatural abomination, you can determine one of the following details after one minute of observation:

• Its most recent feeding grounds or lair.
• Whether it was previously wounded and how recently.
• If it is corrupted by blood or eldritch influence.
