Night Stalker
The Crooked Moon
Once you were prey, stalked by a monster through the dark of night. Now, you are the hunter, and the things which you once feared will learn the true meaning of dread. You have become far deadlier, hungerier, and crueler for the perishing than your monster. You are, yourself, the monster now -- a fearsome creature once thought to slake its hunger on you or those close to you. You survived, and your would-be killer could have its own destruction in turn.
Building a Night Stalker
Considering how you joined the hunt for things that would see you as prey. Did you lose someone close to you or survive an attack? Perhaps you were raised in a family line of dedicated hunters. Rangers, Rouges and Barbarians make fearsome Night Stalkers, as does any character with a passion to oppose these deadly creatures.
