Is that all?? I had always assumed there was more..like perhaps some kind of monster lore. I don't own any of the D20 Ravenloft books. Thank you for replying, hopefully I can set up my ranger to be a Monster Hunter of some sort.

Sep 08, 2004 3:30:56 Well, the trick is that it's a "two steps" PrC. First, you gain levels (5 max.) in Monster Hunter (which is a bit akin to a "generalist"). Then, you "specialize" and become a Hunter (that's 5 lvl in "another" PrC).

The gist of it is that you can't be directly a, say, Vampire Hunter. You have to be a Monster Hunter first and then specialize as a Vampire Hunter (for instance).

Requirements for the next PrC are:
Skills: Intimidate 10 ranks, Knowledge (the planes) 5 ranks, Knowledge (relevant monster lore) 10 ranks, Sense Motive 10 ranks
Class: at least 3 levels in the Monster Hunter PrC

So, yes, monster lore is a prerequisite, albeit one that doesn't kick in before you specialize.

Please remember that Knowledge (the planes) is about the only skill you CAN'T take at character creation. You have to acquire it during the gaming sessions. So, achieving 5 ranks in it isn't the piece of cake it might look like...
