They attempt to turn the hunters into the hunted. While learning how to combat red dragons, flame hunters also learn about how to combat other fiery creatures that red dragons might employ. Flame hunters are always Tharsûnian dwarves or are trained by them, and only the hardiest warriors can become one. [B]Classes:[/B] Fighters, barbarians, and paladins make good flame hunters because of their combat abilities. Rangers whose favored enemy is dragon also make good flame hunters.Clerics of Orodin sometimes become flame hunters to help protect their people. Sorcerers and wizards hardly ever become flame hunters because they would rather increase their casting powers. [B]NPC:[/B] NPC flame hunters spend their time either hunting down red dragons, or protecting Tharsûnian dwarven land from them. [B]Hit Die:[/B] d10 To qualify to become a flame hunter, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria. [B]Prerequisites[/B] Tharsûnian Dwarf, [B]BAB:[/B] +6 [B]Feats:[/B]Dragonfoe, Great Fortitude, [B]Skills:[/B]Knowledge (arcana) 2 ranks, Speak Language (Draconic) [B]Class Skills:[/B] The flame hunter’s class skills (and the key ability score for each) are [I]Climb[/I] (Str), [I]Craft[/I] (Wis), [I]Intimidate[/I] (Cha), [I]Jump[/I] (Str), [I]Knowledge (arcana)[/I] (Int), [I]Listen[/I] (Wis), [I]Search[/I] (Int), [I]Spot[/I] (Wis), [I]Tumble[/I] (Dex).
