Nentyar Hunter
Sworn to defend the great forests and serve the Nentyarch,
druidic ruler of the Circle of Leth, the Nentyar hunters roam
the wild lands of the East, uprooting foul and evil things.
Skilled with both steel and
magic, a Nentyar hunter is a resourceful,
self-reliant hero who
has learned to trust her own
judgment, confronting those
who would harm the forest. The Nentyar
hunters are few in number, but even a
single hunter is capable of achieving
great things in the service of
the lands she loves.
Barbarians and rangers are
the most common Nentyar
hunters, as the prestige class
offers access to powerful forest
magic to complement their
skill at fighting. Druids are less
commonly drawn to the class,
since many of the Nentyar
hunter’s spells are druid spells,
and the Nentyar hunters are
sworn to protect druids and carry
out their edicts. Fighters and
rogues with a preference for wilderness
skills sometimes become Nentyar
hunters, but clerics, sorcerers,
and wizards do not often choose
this path.
Most Nentyar hunters are
humans, elves, or volodnis.
Hit Die: d6.
