Moon Hunter (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Moon Hunter[edit]
The moon is a guide for hunters since the dawn of time. It alerts tribes that the time of gathering provisions for hard seasons has come, serving as an augury and a kind advisor. It serves as a flashlight for nocturnal predators, guiding them to their prey. It awakens primal instincts on shape-shifters, making them faster, stronger and hungrier, while alerting those who know their signs to the presence of these same presence, glowing brighter and bigger in the sky when the time for the savage beasts to awaken has come. For that same reason, gods and goddesses with hunting in their portfolio also tend to have a strong connection to the moon, and bestow upon the hunter's who follow them the skill needed to slay their prey.
Moon Hunters and huntresses are individuals who train to understand the auguries and signs given by the moon, using these signs to help them in hunting, learning how to commune and connect with the moon and how to draw power from it. Since the moon is neutral, don't picking sides between hunter and prey, helping all of those who are aware enough to understand its signs, you can find moon hunters from many beliefs, who understand the moon signs and channel its power in multiple ways. From those who embrace the lunacy and frenzy brought by its power , rejoicing in the bloodlust after killing a prey, to those who protect the innocent from the dangers who wander the night bathed in moonlight, moon hunters are united in the connection and understanding of this celestial force.
