Naturemaster

Naturemasters are knowledgeable in all things alive. They know the uses of animals and plants, and when they're not familiar with a certain species, they are good at figuring out what to expect. They are the best when it comes to survival in the wildlands. They know how to use nature to their advantage, but non-destructively, since they've learnt to both love her majesty and fear her uncaring violence.

Naturemasters know how wild animals behave, how to track them, how to eventually tame them, and of course, how to hunt them, making the most out of every inch of fur, every organ and gland.

They are also the best when it comes to plants: where to find the wild ones, how to choose the right crop for a certain weather and soil, and setting all up to get healthy crops with maximum yield. They are also good at making different potions and poisons out of natural ingredients.

Their weapons of choice are the bow, the spear, and the tomahawk.
