5e Background: Dragon Hunter
ragon Hunters belong to all cultures and
D
societies but share a singular purpose –
protecting civilization from dragonkind who
would wish it harm. While many Dragons live
in harmony alongside Erenel’s inhabitants,
others seek its destruction.
Driven by greed and ego, the world’s greatest natural
predators raze villages to the ground in search of
treasure to add to their hoard. Depending on the dragon
type, these tyrants can act impulsively, bringing ferocity
to civilization’s doorsteps or, with impressive cunning,
spending years infiltrating governments with fierce
determination.
As a Dragon Hunter, you have studied the nuances of
your prey and relish in the adrenaline of hunting an
apex predator. You seek to discover the locations of
problematic dragon lairs, ridding the world of these
threats with as little destruction as possible.
Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among
Investigation, Nature, Stealth, or Survival
Languages: Draconic
Equipment: Set of traveler’s clothes, a map showing the
believed location of a dragon’s lair, and a belt pouch
containing 10 gp.
Feature: Dragon Slayer
You have a heightened awareness while in an area
warped by a dragon’s magic. When you are in a region
with regional effects caused by a dragon or in a dragon’s
lair, you gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception)
checks, and your base walking speed increases by 5
feet.
Suggested Characteristics
Dragon Hunters are courageous individuals who
willingly accept facing the overwhelming odds of their
hunt. While Dragon Hunters take on great risk in their
line of work, they also understand the importance of
recruiting necessary assistance for hunting their
formidable prey.
