Cleric Subclass

Clerics from the Hunter Domain are devoted to the divinity of the hunt. Some of them are members of primitive and tribal societies, where hunter either is the main source of food for the community, or is a way to measure one's worth. Others are worshipers of gods and goddesses of the hunt, such as Artemis, Malar or the Demon Prince Yeenoghu. Hunter clerics tend to gather on hunting sites, instead of temples, and it is common for them to show their devotion by pursuing a worthy quarry, which they then slay as a form of sacrifice for the deities. The temples, when they do exist, are commonly simple huts on woods and wild places, with resources such as traps, ammunition and hides shared for the frequenters of that site.
