Ranger
Away from the safety of civilisation, Rangers roam the wilds in search of beasts to hunt, monsters to slay and glory to claim. Working in small cliques or independently they stalk the outer reaches of the wilds to protect towns and relish in triumph.
New Rangers are often taken as apprentices to existing Rangers, who will show them techniques and train them in preparation for their own solo excursions.
Never a beast that can't die, so there never a beast I can't kill
