Lineages and Heritages pdf, pg. 13
You trained and worked within a troupe of vampire hunters. You learned how to detect the presence of a vampire in a community, how to track it to its lair, and how to destroy it utterly. And you learned that vampire hunters live short, violent lives.
Perhaps you are a dhampir, resentful of your lineage and driven toward absolution, a villager seeking revenge against the creature that took your life from you, or a crusader with a specific zeal. Even after you leave the life, you keep the skills and reflexes gained from the experience.
Choose two from History, Insight, Investigation, or Sleight of Hand.
Learn one additional language of your choice and gain proficiency with trapper tools.
A cloak, a set of traveler’s clothes, a backpack, five wooden stakes, a hand mirror, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
You have received special training combined with some natural ability to make you a crack vampire hunter. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Covert, Critical Training, or Spell Duelist.
Perhaps the adventuring life is an extension of your previous line of work. Or maybe you were the only survivor of a failed hunt and decided to move on to less fickle game. Consider what made you stop hunting vampires and take up a less focused life of adventuring.
