There should also be hunts for creature types, but theres no point listing them

The build needs some work as you can see, but i fell in love with the idea of hunts...I came froma mix of the curreny bounty system in nightfall and the old ranger creatue thing from D&D. I feel this class should be flexable, allowing you to play vastly different aspects of it - in a hope to lessen the monotony of playing a single class for a while.
