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 travelers 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.
| **d8** | **Adventuring Motivation** |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 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. Im going out to see it. |
| 4 | Adventuring gets me the experience I need to take down my true vampiric objective. |
| 5 | Vampire hunting work isnt cheap. Adventuring is no more dangerous, but it is potentially more profitable. |
| 6 | I can be more than a nameless, petty vampire hunter. Ill 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 Ive seen and done. Adventuring cant be worse. |
