Personal history

Heather was born in a tribe in Steton that hunted the monstrosities of Steton and used as many pieces of them as they possibly could for everything they needed. As she was growing up, she trained to be a hunter and scout with lesser prey and helped the healers of the tribe. When she turned 18, she went on her first true hunt and had her coming of age ceremony that night, but a group of Bullettes came in and destroyed the tribe. She got away and believes she is the last of her tribe.
After a few days wondering and surviving off the land, she found the Growling Hall and soon after joined the Steton Striders. Hunting the monstrosities of Steton in the Striders helped her get accustomed to her new life easier. She hunted for the Striders with varying personal success for some time, and she eventually realized she wanted to join with Dubok, and that became certain after having gone on a hunt with him. She finally joined with after she was trusted to go on an incredibly difficult mission with Dubok, and some of the other striders.

Ability Score Improvements

Rogue (Scout) Class Abilities
Sneak Attack - You know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 3d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Skirmisher - You are difficult to pin down during a fight. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
Survivalist - You gain proficiency in the Nature and Survival skills if you don't already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those proficiencies.
Uncanny Dodge - Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.

Ranger (Monster Slayer) Class Abilities
Favored Enemy - You have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy commonly encountered in the wilds. Choose monstrosities. You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with weapon attacks against creatures of the chosen type. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. When you gain this feature, you also learn Draconic.
Natural Explorer - You are a master of navigating the natural world, and you react with swift and decisive action when attacked. This grants you the following benefits: You ignore difficult terrain. You have advantage on initiative rolls. On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted. In addition, you are skilled at navigating the wilderness. You gain the following benefits when traveling for an hour or more: Difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel. Your group can't become lost except by magical means. Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger. If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace. When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would. While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
Two Weapon Fighting - When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Primeval Awareness - Your mastery of ranger lore allows you to establish a powerful link to beasts and to the land around you. You have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack. You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes. Additionally, you can attune your senses to determine if any of your favored enemies lurk nearby. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 5 miles of you. This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their numbers, and the creatures' general direction and distance (in miles) from you. If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group.
Hunter's Sense - You have the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Slayer's Prey - You can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon. This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature.
Extra Attack - You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn..

Misc.
Library of Kacael - Learned Orclin(Waste) from the Library of Kacael.
Veteran Title - This title allows you to use special items, access specific missions and grants you one free "knowledge" check on an enemy you face, once per battle. This free check is considered to be a moderate success.
Blessing of the Coliseum - Any that have defeated the carnage elemental receive a +1 to damage rolls with melee weapons for the entirety of next phase. (Phase 3)

Magic Items
The Shapeless Suit (attuned) +1 Studded Leather – Major Rare – Attunement This tribal set of garments seems to be made entirely from various animal and monster parts. Skittering thread is woven to create inner lining of the entire set as well as the gloves and boots. A Dire Wolf pelt covers the back, forearms, and shin protectors. Cat’s Eye thread is stitched together to create a neck guard and an Ancient Prey Feather is decoratively adorned to finish the entire piece.

Big Gulp’s Big Gulping Backpack Wonderous Sack – Major Uncommon – 800 GP A fleshy pink and gray sack of skin that stretches from the size of a fist to the size of a man. It smells like dried fish as it is dried fish. It is quite easy to store things within Can hold 40lbs of equipment without adding to carry weight. Additionally the bag can be used as a ration. Each time it is used in this way it loses 2lbs from the total weight it can carry until it is all eaten and the item is destroyed. (20 times)
Winter’s Claw Shortsword – Major Uncommon – Attunement (Not Attuned) Light, Finesse Attunement by a Ranger 2.5lb: This shortsword has had its hilt replaced with the claw of a yeti, and blessed by a cleric of Talven. It radiates cold at all times, and light seems dimmer around it. Perhaps, in another time, it could have been something more. Touch of Winter: While attuned to this item, when you successfully hit a target that is affected by Hunter’s Mark they must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, determined by your Wisdom. On a failed save they take 1d4 cold damage, none on a success. If the target is your Favored Enemy, they instead take half damage on a successful save. Cold is the Night: While attuned to this item, you can use an action to summon a cold winter wind to snuff all nonmagical fires and lights, size medium or smaller within 30 feet.
Writhe Katar – Rare – Attunement (Attuned) Braced, Brutal, Finesse, Light A braced blade made of a Manticore's spike, its poison still lingering within. This weapon deals an additional 1d4 poison damage. Lethal Injection. When you score a critical hit, you can use a reaction to deal an additional 2d8 poison damage. This ability has 2 uses that refresh on a long rest. Cold is the Night: While attuned to this item, you can use an action to summon a cold winter wind to snuff all nonmagical fires and lights, size medium or smaller within 30 feet.
The Angler’s Lure Wondrous Item – Major Uncommon – 800g – 8 Days A lure enchanted with light, attached to a stick. Looks like it could be useful for hunting. You can use your bonus action to drive this stick into the ground and activate its magic. All hostile creatures within 30 feet who can see it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be forced to use their next turn’s movement to move towards the lure. Once a creature is within 5 feet of the lure, the effect is broken, and they cannot be affected by the lure again for the next 24 hours. This ability is instantaneous, and refreshes at dawn each day.
Spectacles of Ocean Spray (not attuned) Glasses – Rare (2000gp) – Attunement Worthy 1 These glasses have a blue tint in their lenses. You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. You can see through natural and magical mist and fog as if they did not exist.

Huntmaster's Trap
Hunting Trap

When you use your action or bonus action to set it, this trap forms a saw-toothed steel ring that snaps shut when a creature steps on the pressure plate in the center. The trap is affixed by a heavy chain to an immobile object, such as a tree or spike driven into the ground. A creature that steps on the plate must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage and stop moving. At the beginning of each subsequent turn, until a successful DC 15 Medicine check is made or they are healed in any way, they take an additional 1d4 bleed damage as the trap cut into their limb. Thereafter, until the creature breaks free of the trap, its movement is limited by the length of the chain (typically 3 feet long). A creature can use its action to make a DC 15 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Each failed check deals 2 piercing damage to the trapped creature.

When a creature breaks out of this trap, it resets itself to snap shut again. A creature can spend 1 minute to disengage the hunting trap for later use.
