Vampire Hunter

The term "vampire hunter" is somewhat of a misnomer. The vampire hunter is actually the bane of all undead as well as necromancers, were-creatures, devils, demons, and other supernatural creatures.

The vampire hunter is a variant of the ranger with the prime requisites of SELF-DISCIPLINE and INTUITION. More often than not the vampire hunter uses wits and cunning rather than physical strength to defeat his prey. The vampire hunter is a semi-spell user of channeling with spells keyed toward the investigation and elimination of supernatural creatures.
