Witcher

There will always, always be darkness. And in that darkness there will always be Evil, in that darkness there will always be fangs and claws, murder and blood. There will always be things that go bump in the night. And we, Witchers, are the ones who will bump back. --- Vesemir of Kaer Morhen

Witchers, the perfect creature for killing monsters. Mutated as a result of the Herb Trial, trained in swordsmanship and well versed in almost all types of monsters, they are more than equipped to handle any attack at night. Described by some as a brutal experiment to create something more than a human, Witchers were created as a result of intense training, ruthless mental and physical conditioning, and brutal alchemy in opposition to nature. They fill a necessary niche in the homeland of their craft by killing monsters for those they annoy. Little is known about the life of a witcher. Legendary monster hunters, trained by the best warriors, are the first line of defense between society and destruction. The path leads the Witchers to search for contracts and kill any monster. This lifestyle does not offer the amenities that many would like in life. Thus, these men and women often find themselves isolated and lonely. The life of a hunter requires the Witcher to move constantly. Emotional attachments can sometimes distract some Witchers.

Creating a Witcher

When creating your Witcher, think about how your character sees the world as a result of your training. Do they consider him to be an absolute evil that they are crusading against? Or do they view them as savage creatures, unable to understand the evil they commit simply by following their nature? Also consider your Witcher emotions. As a result of your trials, your emotions have weakened, but they are still present. Finally, consider the circumstances surrounding your entry into the Witcher caste. More often than not, most children have no choice when they are chosen. Orphans are often taken away, and there are rumors that some children are being abducted. Your parents could have given you up because they didn't have enough food, or you could have run away to them in search of adventure. Think about it and how it affects your idea of humanity.

Also, if you are considering a witcher class for playing D&D not in Sapkovsky's world, then you can come up with something else so that the biography (character's past) logically fits into the future game!

You can quickly create a Witcher by following these tips. First, put the highest score of dexterity, and then wisdom. Although, depending on the witcher school you choose, you may want to increase various points, as shown in the description of the schools. Finally, let's take the story of the Stranger.

Once a Man, now a Monster

A witcher is someone who has undergone extensive training, ruthless mental and physical training, and mysterious rituals (which are conducted in "witcher schools" such as Kaer Morhen) in preparation to become an itinerant hired monster killer. Future witchers taken in childhood are subjected to intense alchemical processes, the consumption of mutagenic compounds, and relentless physical and magical training to make them dangerous and highly effective in dealing with a huge number of opponents, many of whom possess superhuman speed, strength, and/or other deadly abilities. These procedures ultimately mean that every fully trained witcher is a mutant created specifically to hunt and kill non-human prey.

The Witcher's Code

While peasants often claim a Witcher’s only code is gold, some mages and monarchs believe all Witchers obey an ancient code of honor, obligating them to take any monster contract that comes their way. Fact is, there is no single code which unites all Witchers, and often there is tension between their schools over the philosophical tenets of being a Witcher. Whether an individual Witcher strives to follow a code of personal honor and professional conduct is up to the player. Precepts of a Witcher’s personal code might include:

The Contract

Witchers do not work for free. Upon taking a contract to hunt a monster (or person), the Witcher should make a good faith effort to rid the land of the monster. If the Witcher fails, payment received should be returned to their patron. Likewise, the Witcher should observe professional courtesy and never poach a fellow Witcher’s contract.

Free of Emotion

The Witcher should strive to remain free of emotion and to keep an open mind; often the most obvious answer is the least true.

Knowing Man From Monster

The line between monsters and men can be thin indeed, and the Witcher must discern what separates the two.

Law of Surprise

Witchers reserve the right to ask for a child to train as a Witcher in payment for a life debt.

Neutrality

Witchers try not to get too involved in politics; it usually ends badly and complicates their monster-hunting.

Sanctity of Life

Humans, elves, dwarves, and sometimes even trolls are not the enemy, and the Witcher should avoid taking a sentient life in all but extreme situations. Likewise, the best way to deal with a monster may not lie in sword or spell.

Pendant

All Witchers have a pendant reminiscent of their respective school. While wearing said pendant, it will glow, vibrate, and move towards the general direction of spells and magical effects within 30 feet of it, as if it was being tugged in the direction of the source. The pendant won't react to a spell beyond it being cast if it has a duration of instantaneous, however.

Bestiary

The Witcher's Bestiary is where a Witcher records the strengths and weaknesses of all enemies faced. When facing a creature recorded in the bestiary, you can recall basic lore about it, in addition to its abilities, resistances, and vulnerabilities.

In order to record a creature into your bestiary, you must spend at least ten minutes examining an area the creature has fought in within 24 hours, have the corpse of the creature on hand, or have the creature explain to you its capabilities. Afterwards, you can finalize your notes over the course of a long rest, adding all creatures you've examined into your bestiary. When recording a humanoid, you record the race instead of the creature in particular, and can count all creatures of that race as being in your bestiary.

The Bestiary's Appearance. Your bestiary is a unique compilation of notes and diagrams on recorded creatures. It can look like any old leather journal, a barely held together bunch of notes, or a unique tome gifted to you by your teacher. 

Replacing the Bestiary. In the event that you want a backup of your bestiary, you can spend a half hour for each creature you've recorded in your bestiary to transcribe it into a new one. If you don't have your original bestiary during this process, you can only scribe from memory a number of creatures equal to 5 x your Wisdom modifier.

Witcher Way

Starting at 1rd level, witchers decide what school they want to follow. Each school offers a variety of different skills Witchers can use to enhance their monster tracking and slaying abilities. There are five schools to choose from: The School of the Wolf, Cat, Viper, Bear, and Griffon. Your Witcher school grants abilities at 6th, 10th, 13th and 18th level.

Quickened Analysis

Starting at 9th level, you can analyze a creature mid combat, and waste much less time adding them to your bestiary. You only need to spend 1 minute examining a creature to add it to your bestiary, and can finalize your notes over the course of a short rest.

When you hit a creature with a weapon attack or it fails a saving throw against one of your signs, you can count that creature as being added to your Bestiary until the end of combat. You can do so a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
