There spell list seems to be a bit of a mix between ranger and paladin as a rough idea. There is also 4 new spells. Detect Infernals, Magic Circle against Infernals, Protection from Infernals, all of these work like similar spells. The last new spell is Sword of the Heavens. This turns any weapon into a magic infernal bane weapon for awhile.
It ends with a OLG and 2 ads. (3 pages)
Closing thoughts. I like the class, it is a bit of a Paladin, Ranger vibe. Which the new Inquisitor from the APG also is, so it shares a little with that class in general concept. I like the class it is different enough that it stands on it's own and it fits the Asian fluff it is modeled after. The artwork is good to very good in the book. For the most part the editing, layout etc was good. I did notice a few errors like a spelling error where it first talks about spells, hunter is spelled hutner. But there wasn't many such errors, just more than one normally see's in a Rite Publishing book. It would with a little tweaking work in a western style adaption of the class, to offer another option to the paladin. So whats my rating? Well I am giving it a 4, while it is a very pretty book with top notch art, I think the class could have used a little more abilities outside of tracking and there was more spelling errors than normal.
Do you have a suggestion for how would could have unnarrowed our focus we did try very hard with the broad categories of what a demon hunter considers an infernal creature?
Oh that wasn't it when I meant the narrow part. it was that most of the abilities after 10th where about tracking or just improving existing ones. I would have liked to have seen a little more ability variety at the higher levels.
