Hunters specialize in hunting creatures that pose a threat to civilization or the wild. They hone their fighting skills and reflexes beyond the limits of most rangers. Hunters are exceptionally agile fighters who exemplified the peak of physical ability for a ranger. Some hunters also specialize in fighting groups of enemies.

This ability does not function if you are incapacitated.
