[Guild Techniques
Hunters
Name: Spirit Arrow
Instructor: N/A
Description: An arrow charged with the Hunter's inner energies.
Effect: The Hunter is able to enhance any of their arrows with their own spiritual energy, dealing damage based on their Spirit Strength +40 to the target. Because it is still a regular arrow (though enhanced), the target will use their Defense against this attack by default. Spirit Arrow may be used 3 times per battle.
Requirements: Hunter, Scout Rank, Accuracy 25+, Spirit Strength 25+, Stamina 25+
Cost: 3 Potential
Name: Learn Your Prey
Instructor: N/A
Description: Being a good Hunter involves memorizing how your prey acts in a fight and adapting to the needs of the hunt.
Effect: When battling an opponent the Hunter has faced before (or the same species of before in the case of monsters) they will gain a +3 bonus to their Accuracy and Speed per Level against them (does not apply against other enemies they are fighting for the first time).
Requirements: Hunter, Scout Rank, Intellect 20+
Cost: 3 Potential
Name: Tracking
Instructor: N/A
Description: What good is a Hunter that can't hunt?
Effect: The Hunter is able to effectively track anything they can get a trail of and is able to specifically seek out monsters they've encountered before. Target's can be tracked across land for as long as they don't mask their own trail (not limited to just footprints) and if the Hunter has Scent, then their smell must also be eliminated or they may be tracked even through the air (assuming the Hunter has a means to follow that way). When seeking out particular creatures they have encountered before, they get one re-roll per rank they have for random encounters and may choose which roll they want.
Requirements: Hunter, Scout Rank, Intellect 15+
Cost: 2 Potential
Name: Improved Spirit Arrow
Instructor: N/A
Description: Their strong will is felt in their arrows.
Effect: The Hunter's Spirit Arrows now deal an additional +100 points worth in damage and may be used an additional 2 times per battle.
Requirements: Hunter, Guide Rank, Spirit Arrow, Accuracy 100+, Spirit Strength 150+, Stamina 100+
Cost: 5 Potential
Name: Multi-Shot
Instructor: N/A
Description: Firing more than one arrow with a single pull of the string.
Effect: The Hunter can release two arrows from their bows at the same time, allowing them to damage the same enemy twice or two separate but close together target's instead. For every 50 Accuracy they have over 150, they can fire another arrow at the same time like this to a maximum of 5 total. Each arrow fired beyond the first will cause the overall Accuracy of the attack to be reduced by 10% however because it is harder to aim properly with more than one arrow notched at a time. Limited use arrow based abilities only need to spend one use to be used in this manner, applying to all arrows fired (special buffs/debuffs will not stack per arrow)
Requirements: Hunter, Guide Rank, Speed 100+, Accuracy 150+, Stamina 100+
Cost: 5 Potential
Name: Know Your Prey

Name: Rain of Arrows
Instructor: N/A
Description: The forecast this evening calls for partly cloudy with a fifty percent chance of arrows raining death upon your heads.
Effect: The Hunter is able to fire off a large volley of arrows up into the air as fast as they can while aiming for a general area of the battlefield. They can target an area roughly 5 feet in diameter for every 50 Speed they have. On the post after this ability is activated, a barrage of arrows shall fall down all over the area, dealing full impact damage against everything within (they are too numerous to simply dodge) Because they are hit by so many arrows at a time, the damage of this attack is the same as what the Hunter's arrow would have normally been +20 per Level. This ability can be used 2 times per battle and has a 3 post cool down between uses.
