Description
You hunt the mightiest beasts in the harshest environments, claiming their pelts as trophies and returning them to settled lands for a profit or to decorate your abode. You likely were set on this path since birth, following your parents on safaris and learning from their actions, but you may have instead come to this path as an adult after being swept away by the thrill of dominating the natural world.
Many big game hunters pursue their quarry purely for pleasure, as a calming avocation, but others sell their skills to the highest bidder to amass wealth and reputation as a trophy hunter.
Features
Shelter from the Storm.
You have spent years hunting in the harshest environments of the world and have seen tents blown away by gales, food stolen by hungry bears, and equipment destroyed by the elements. While traveling in the wilderness, you can find a natural location suitable to make camp by spending 1 hour searching. This location provides cover from the elements and is in some way naturally defensible, at the GM's discretion.

| 1 | Nothing gets my blood pumping like stalking a wild animal. |
| 2 | I like things big! Trophies, big! Food, big! Money, houses, weapons, possessions, I want ‘em big, big, BIG! |
| 3 | When hunting, it's almost as if I become a different person. Focused. Confident. Ruthless. |
| 4 | The only way to kill a beast is to be patient and find the perfect moment to strike. The same is true for all the important things in life. |
