hunter

Available to : Man, Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit

Woodsman, pathfinder, and master of the bow, the keen-eyed Hunter can use her arrows to devastating effect from a distance. Archery is not the only thing the Hunter excels at, for she can lead her companions through the forest at greater speed than they could on their own, and can set up traps to ambush enemies. The archer is no close-quarters fighter, however, and would generally rather let her bow do the work than resort to her sword.

The Hunter will be the class of choice for players who enjoy striking a target at range.  Clever by nature, the Hunter is known to lure her targets into traps to hinder them, giving her time to use her bow to deadly effect.  A Hunter's knowledge of nature also provides skills that help her and her fellows survive in the wild.  A Hunter's combat style depends on her ability to injure others while staying out of harm's way.
