Soul Hunter

A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body. Soul Hunters are highly skilled fighters, trained to empower their bodies with their very soul in combat. Soul Hunters typically learn their craft from a monastery, but some learn from another soul hunter. They are often sent out into the wilderness to slay monsters as part of their training, granting them a reputation of being brave protectors of the realm.
