Holy Hunter

“ I hate all your rules and regulations, but I hate evil more. ”
—Daesonne Shadowbane, Human Holy Hunter

Sometimes fighting evil requires a warrior with capabilities beyond that of a religious organization's normal champions. In such circumstances, these organization turn to the holy hunters. A holy hunter is a ranger who, while not drawn to the strict regulations of religious orders, feels that their war against evil is one worth waging. They offer their services to temples and churches plagued with particularly potent enemies, or trapped in particularly sticky circumstances, the kinds that a cleric of paladin might not be able to handle because of their devotion to law.

Becoming a Holy Hunter

The typical Holy Hunter who is an individual who pursued at least some training as a paladin, then decided the life a ranger was better suited to his personality and convictions. Other classes could certainly pursue the holy hunter class, but anyone taking this prestige class will most likely have at least one level of paladin and two levels of ranger.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.

Spellcasting: At every other level, beginning with the second, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a holy hunter, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Spells: To cast a particular spell, you must have an Wisdom score of at least 10 + the spell's level. Your bonus spells are based on your Wisdom. Saves to avoid the effects of your spells have a DC of 10 + the spell's level + your WIS bonus (if any).
