A Hunter starts with a shortbow, a scroll of butterflies, and a set of leathers.}}<br /> <br /> ==Preferred Species==<br /> [[Hill Orc]], [[Minotaur]], [[Gnoll]], [[Kobold]], and [[Spriggan]] are the recommended races if you pick a Hunter background.<br /> <br /> ==Racial Restrictions==<br /> [[Felid]]s are forbidden from becoming Hunters, as they cannot use ranged weapons.<br /> <br /> ==Starting Equipment==<br /> Some [[species]] may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.<br /> *+0 [[shortbow]]<br /> *+0 [[leather armour]]<br /> *[[Scroll of butterflies]]<br /> <br /> ==Starting Skills and Stats==<br /> These are adjusted by your species&#039; [[aptitude]]s.<br /> <br /> *[[Fighting]]: 2<br /> *[[Ranged Weapons]]: 4<br /> *[[Dodging]]: 2<br /> *[[Stealth]]: 1<br /> <br /> Choosing Hunter adds 3 to your starting [[Strength]], 1 to your starting [[Intelligence]] and 8 to your starting [[Dexterity]].<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> Hunter is your archetypical ranged combat background. Shortbows are a strong earlygame weapon, essentially a [[trident]] with 7 tiles of reach instead of 2. Fast species, namely [[Spriggan]]s, can continuously retreat and [[kiting|kite]] with the bow.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> *Prior to [[0.31]], Hunters started with a [[scroll of immolation]] instead of butterflies.<br /> *In [[0.29]], [[Ranged Weapons]] were reworked. Prior to this version:<br /> **Hunters started with a choice of [[hunting sling]], [[hand crossbow]], shortbow, or [[throwing]] weapons. Launchers were +1 and started with 20 of their respective ammo. Throwing started with 6 [[javelin]]s (adjusted for species) and 2 [[throwing net]]s.<br /> **Hunters had 4 strength / 3 intelligence / 5 dexterity.<br /> **Hunters started with a [[short blade]].<br /> **This version gave almost all backgrounds a consumable: hunters now start with a [[scroll of immolation]].<br /> *Prior to [[0.24]], small hunters started with [[tomahawk]]s instead of boomerangs.<br /> *Prior to [[0.15]], Hunters that chose javelins started with only 5 and did not have throwing nets.<br /> *Prior to [[0.14]], Hunters started with 20 [[gold]].<br /> <br /> {{backgrounds}}<br /> [[Category:Backgrounds]]</div>
