Description
Hunters are offensive classes that can fight from a range with their bow or up close with their knives, making them versatile in their utility. Hunters have poor Attack and Defense, so they don't contribute a whole lot when it comes to dealing damage, but they can typically keep themselves out of danger thanks to their solid Agility. Hunters are best known for laying down traps with their skills to keep enemies rooted in one place, so that allies can easily hit these enemies like shooting fish in a barrel. Hunters also have the title of Pathfinders because of their ability to blaze trails.

Skills
Skilled Tracker: The Hunter is able to track down all kinds of creatures from even the most minute of signs.* TP Cost: 5

Hunter Snare: The Hunter sets down a snare that immobilizes those that set foot on it. The snare can either tether the target to a stake in the ground or suspend the target upside down from a tree branch. The rope can be cut with a weapon or burned with fire, or can be undone with magical incantations.* TP Cost: 15

Forest Voice: The Hunter can mimic the call of an animal to near perfection.* TP Cost: 10

Pathfinder: The Hunter can detect when hidden passages are near through some sort of sixth sense.* Passive

Silent Step: The Hunter is mindful of where they step, and can move silently through forests and others wooded areas.* Passive

Fauna Fanatic: The Hunter is knowledgeable on animals and their behavior, and can discern much information by studying such creatures. By observing behavior of nearby animals, they can deduce where an animal's habitat is, what the animal is doing, or if the animal detects danger nearby. Exotic or strange animals may be more difficult to gather information from, however.* Passive

Botanist: The Hunter is knowledgeable on plants, and knows which ones are safe to eat and which ones are not; the Hunter can detect traces of specific types of plants and plant secretions in foods, even able to detect plant-based poisons and toxins.* Passive

Overview
Hunters can be useful to have in any campaign, though they may not be able to contribute as much to battles until they have a few key skills.

The Skilled Tracker skill is useful for when the party is trying to locate or pursue a target and are having a difficult time doing so.

Hunter Snare immobilizes an enemy, as it wraps around the enemy, pulls them upside-down and suspends them in midair. The enemy cannot move but can attack, though their accuracy is off due to being upside-down.
