Occult Hunter[edit]
A halfling man walks in the Underdark sneaking into a mindflayer colony.
A human woman hunts the witch who been living in this village for the last few years.
Tradition of Hunting[edit]
Created by a family of notorious vampire hunters, the Occult Hunters became synonymous with slayer, more a title than a name, striking fear in the dead hearts of undead beings and other evil creature's that lurk in the dark. Some are part of the vampire hunter family, other's however only follow the example of these night stalkers, defending innocents from monsters.
To fight the dark powers, they rely in knowledge, both mundane and magic, constantly seeking information about the beings they hunt, and delving deeper into occultism, understanding these eldritch energies to become able to fight against it. They also master the combat arts, learning to fight with multiple weapons, but specializing in weapons easy to carry, conceal and wield, since brute strength is often useless against foes powered by black magic.
From Light and Darkness[edit]
The Occult Hunter is a holy wanderer. But unlike a priest or a paladin, you will not see an Occult Hunter preaching or flashing their holy symbol around. They walk the thin line between light and dark. They go places normal people would not dare tread. They want to purge the world of eldritch horrors (mind flayer, beholder, chuul, and so on) and those who gain power by making deals with them (witches, warlocks, hags, and so on). In the name of their god and the welfare of the world they use magic, sword, and gun bring light to the dark places in the world.
Creating a Occult Hunter[edit]
Now think about who makes up your character, what is their background? How did they end up as a Occult Hunter? Was it something they were born into? Are his or her family Occult Hunter and trained you into it? Was it something that called to you later in life? Did you lose a friend or family to one of these horrors and swear vengeance? Were you hunted by one of these horrors and vowed to become the hunter? What made you start adventuring? Did they decide to do this for the thrill? Was it by pure chance- you were in the wrong place at the right time? Are you looking for something existential or personal? All these questions lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.
It can be hard to find good backgrounds for an Occult Hunter. Inquisitor will be the most widely applicable background. Haunted One may be chosen if a horror has attacked him or his family in the past. A noble background could be chosen for how well educated lords and ladies can be.
How did they end up specializing in hunting the creatures they are sworn to destroy? Was it something they were born into? Are their family Occult hunters and trained them into it? Was it something they discovered later in life? Did they lose a friend or family to one of these horrors and swore vengeance? Were they hunted by one of these horrors, until they turned the tables on it?
What made them start adventuring? Did they decide to do it for the fun of it? Is there a creature they are on the trail of? Are they perhaps still on the run from a creature? All these questions are lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.

You also retain all of your skills and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature.

Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
