[Alternate Download Link: [Download not found]
Arius over at Bolermos Online has created a Hunter [Working author Link] that I just found out about. The class feels alot like a ranger but more ‘monster hunter’ than ‘wilderness hunter’ that might be working for profit or as a follower of a church. I could see this being used for a Van Helsing kind of character concept.
A quick read through it doesn’t come off as grossly out of balance overall when compared to the classes in the PHB 2.
It’s feature complete with new weapons, items, feats, powers and paths. It also brings in the Favored Enemy schtick that take extra damage, are easier to hit or make your powers stronger when used against them. This can be overpowered or underpowered depending on what ‘enemy’ a player chooses and puts most of the pressure on the DM to make sure it falls somewhere in the middle. No one likes having a power that never comes into play and the rest of the group doesn’t like having one person always ‘shining’.

Sounds great — but the download is already down. Check out this link, which is where you’ll end up if you click on the link the class from the author: http://www.adrive.com/public/03be1c163024f0cdb4bd86e30ae5c6b69acea0a6df321325aeaaf94af258eaff.html

You’re welcome! I’m glad you like the class. I have several other homebrew projects as well, and they can all be found at Bolermos Online. These include: new races from the Monster Manual (Cambion, Griffon, Lycanthrope, Satyr, Vampire, Dark One, Gargoyle, Ghost, Banshrae, and Unicorn), a 4e homebrew “Monk” class, and I’m currently working on a 4e “Dragoon” class as well!

[...] much trouble a complete class is to make and applaud those that do it. Arius is also the owner of the hunter class I reported on earlier and NOT the artillerist. Sorry for the [...]
