You trained and worked within a troupe of vampire hunters. You learned how to detect the presence of a vampire in a community, how to track it to its lair, and how to destroy it utterly. And you learned that vampire hunters live short, violent lives.

Perhaps you are a dhampir, resentful of your lineage and driven toward absolution, a villager seeking revenge against the creature that took your life from you, or a crusader with a specific zeal. Even after you leave the life, you keep the skills and reflexes gained from the experience.

# Skill Proficiencies

Choose two from History, Insight, Investigation, or Sleight of Hand.

# Additional Proficiencies

Learn one additional language of your choice and gain proficiency with trapper tools.

# Equipment

A cloak, a set of traveler’s clothes, a backpack, five wooden stakes, a hand mirror, and a pouch containing 10 gp.

# Talent

You have received special training combined with some natural ability to make you a crack vampire hunter. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Covert, Critical Training, or Spell Duelist.

# Adventuring Motivation

Perhaps the adventuring life is an extension of your previous line of work. Or maybe you were the only survivor of a failed hunt and decided to move on to less fickle game. Consider what made you stop hunting vampires and take up a less focused life of adventuring.

| 1      | Any dead monster is a good monster, vampire or no. Adventuring gets that done.                             |
| 2      | I honor my trainer by continuing this work in the course of adventuring.                                   |
| 3      | There must be more to life than gloomy vampire manses. I’m going out to see it.                            |
| 4      | Adventuring gets me the experience I need to take down my true vampiric objective.                         |
| 5      | Vampire hunting work isn’t cheap. Adventuring is no more dangerous, but it is potentially more profitable. |
| 6      | I can be more than a nameless, petty vampire hunter. I’ll prove it through adventuring.                    |
| 7      | The next step on my spiritual path is on the road of the adventurer.                                       |
| 8      | I am hollowed out by the things I’ve seen and done. Adventuring can’t be worse.                            |
