Feral Hunter (Archetype)Ī feral hunter has forged a bond with nature that's so strong that she doesn't merely channel the aspects of animals-she actually becomes an animal herself. The companion's CR is considered to be equal to its hit dice for the purpose of the celestial or fiendish template. If the hunter is neutral and worships a neutral deity, she must choose either the celestial or fiendish template once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. If the hunter is evil (or worships an evil deity), the animal companion gains the fiendish template. If the divine hunter is good (or worships a good deity), the animal companion gains the celestial template. Otherworldly Companion (Su): At 3rd level, a hunter's companion takes on otherworldly features.

She adds the 2nd-level domain spell at 6th level, the 3rd-level domain spell at 9th level, the 4th-level domain spell at 12th level, the 5th-level domain spell at 15th level, and the 6th-level domain spell at 18th level. In addition, the divine hunter adds the 1st-level domain spell from her domain to her list of spells known. If her animal companion dies or is released, when she gains a new one, it benefits from this ability score increase. When the divine hunter would gain that ability, her animal companion instead gains two ability score increases (gaining +1 to two different ability scores or +2 to one ability score). If the divine hunter selects the animal domain, she does not gain a second animal companion upon reaching an effective cleric level of 4th. Once she chooses this domain, it cannot be changed. She gains the granted powers of this domain, using her hunter level – 2 as her cleric level for determining when the powers are gained and what effects they have. The divine hunter must select one domain from those available to her deity. This ability replaces alignment.Ĭlass Skills: A divine hunter gains Knowledge (religion) as a class skill, but she does not gain Knowledge (dungeoneering) as a class skill.ĭomain: At 3rd level, a divine hunter learns to call upon the power of her deity. A divine hunter can otherwise be of any alignment. These divine hunters use faith to aid them in their struggles, and their faith infuses their animal companions, making these companions champions of their deities.Īlignment: A divine hunter's alignment must be within one step of her deity's, along either the law/chaos axis or the good/evil axis.

While most hunters heed the call of nature and fight to protect its bounty, some are inspired to serve a higher power. But some become animals themselves, lead larger groups of animals in the hunt, or call upon the companionship and power of vermin.

A hunter typically partners with an animal companion and takes on aspects of beasts to pursue her quarry.
