Scavenger

About this class

The Scavenger is a person who goes out and hunts for things to collect, either under the banner of a group, or clan, or because of their own need for preservation. They use the scraps they’ve collected to shape gadgets, and trinkets in order to assist them further. Being a Scavenger means needing to fight hard, lest someone else take what you are looking for. Fights over what Scavengers want tend to get very bloody, so they’ve learned how to manipulate their own blood to aid them in battle. Combined with what they make with what they’ve gathered, and they become a potent force on the battlefield. A Scavenger might seem rough around the edges, but if you’re not in their way, they can be very helpful. And if you help them, they’ll be eternally grateful.
