Seekers are primal champions who scour the wilderness in search of those who would defile it. Versed in hunting techniques handed down through the generations, seekers combine thrown weapon and bow techniques with primal evocations. The combination allows seekers great range in which to deliver deadly attacks that confound and hamper their enemies.
When a seeker looses a missile, the primal spirits bound to it through ancient evocations are freed, sometimes as terrifying beasts and sometimes as nature’s raw destructive potential.
As a seeker, you are both a hunter and a mystic.
You attune yourself to the wilderness you call your home, but you are equally tied to the spirits that dwell in the world around you. With your people’s traditions and whispered advice from the spirits, you navigate the wilds with ease, at home in that environment as any beast. If an enemy appears, you have nothing to fear, both because you have mastered your weapons and because the spirits to whom you have bound yourself add their savage might to your attacks. Whether you use lightning strikes, grasping vines, or spectral beasts, your enemies cannot stand against your assault.
Seekers have the following class features.
You gain the inevitable shot power. You can use this power to call on spirits to send your projectile hurling toward another enemy when you miss with a ranged attack.
Seekers develop special bonds with primal spirits by offering solemn vows to further the spirits’ purposes. In exchange for these vows, the spirits bestow a measure of their strength to aid their champions’ cause.
Choose one of these options. Your choice provides bonuses to certain seeker powers, as detailed in those powers.
All seekers depend on Wisdom to commune with the spirits to guide them and aid in their attacks. Seekers bind themselves with spirits through their Seeker’s Bond. Bloodbond and Spiritbond are the most common, and your choice corresponds with one of two seeker builds. Regardless of your particular bond, however, you can choose whatever powers best help you to keep your vow.
The natural world stands in peril thanks to numerous and widespread enemies. You spoke your vow and forged a bond with the primal spirits, swearing to safeguard the land from harm. Wisdom is your most important ability, so it should be your highest score. Strength adds weight to your attacks and punishes those enemies that draw too close. Consider powers that conjure spirits to harry your enemies. You lean toward defender as a secondary role.
You have witnessed nature’s destruction and its plunder by cruel and careless mortals. No longer will you wait; vengeance demands blood. A blood oath compels you to hunt down and destroy the world’s enemies, and those who despoil it will find no mercy from you. Wisdom is your most important ability, followed by Dexterity to help keep you one step ahead of your enemies and avoid their attacks. You lean toward striker as a secondary role.
Your powers are evocations gained from the bonds you forge with primal spirits. Unlike most other controllers, you use weapons to direct your spirit allies and their destructive wrath, launching arrows or throwing other ranged weapons into your enemies’ midst, only to watch your weapons explode in scorching lightning or booming thunder. Your attacks can also herald the appearance of the spirits themselves, calling them forth to assail your enemies.
Each seeker has the inevitable shot power. You also have either the encaging spirits or the spirits’ rebuke power, depending on the Seeker’s Bond option you select.

“There is nowhere to hide, prey, for your blood stinks of your fear.”
Prerequisite: Seeker
The spirits demand recompense for crimes committed against the natural world, and they accept payment only in blood. You are their collector. You range the land to exact the price your enemies must pay for violating the world. You are a relentless hunter, ruthless in your mien and efficient in your methods.
The spirits aid you in your efforts by imparting to you the ancient hunting methods of your people.
Though your ancestors used these techniques to bring down game, you find them equally effective in eliminating your foes. Each time an enemy falls, you reaffirm your bond to your spirit guides, offering the fallen enemy as a sacrifice to slake their thirst until you next come upon a deserving foe.
As a crimson hunter, you focus on the striker elements found in many seeker evocations. The smell of blood provokes you, letting you move more quickly to engage your enemies. These techniques allow you to close the distance to bring an enemy in range or to skirt the battlefield for your next strike.

“Let my black arrow be the answer to your violation.”
Prerequisite: Seeker, Bloodbond class feature
Through ancient ceremonies and whispers of vengeance, you bind within your arrows all the rage and indignation you possess. The process transforms each arrow into a macabre length of polished bone capped with a jagged tip and fitted with black fletching.
When you fire these wicked barbs from your bow, they bite deep, delivering death’s fatal message.
By walking the path of the death arrow, you deliver punishing damage when you attack single targets and can wreak havoc when you spread your attacks among several foes at once. For you, destroying an enemy eclipses any other concern, and thus you commit yourself to annihilating your foes, no matter the cost.
To master the death arrow ceremonies, you must deal with the most unnerving and violent primal spirits. Such contact leaves an indelible mark on you, such that your features grow severe, your eyes wild, and your temper fragile. More than anything, your unwillingness to grant quarter to those who ask it and your single-minded devotion to utterly ruining your foes can prove unnerving to your companions.

Any creature takes 5 dmg when it enters the zone on its turn. |
“Go forth, spirits, and make true the portents of my enemies’ defeat.”
Prerequisite: Seeker
Spirits are everywhere in the world, from haunted forests to windswept mountains. These entities can be nothing more than wild emotions given half-realized form, or they can possess vast intelligence, with memories stretching back to the world’s earliest days. You turn to these spirits to help you protect the world, drawing from their vast and mysterious power to glimpse your enemies’ fates and bring about their final ends.
Communing with the land’s spirits reveals possible futures, from which you pluck the strands of fate that coincide best with your travels, and you weave those strands into your bowstring. Arrows fired from the bow carry with them the fates your enemies deserve.
This paragon path is one of guardianship. Just as you can harry enemies by loosing spirits at them, so too can you alter the fates of those around you. These techniques help keep your allies from harm, even as you frustrate and confound your foes.

“I stand in two worlds: the world you see and the world you don’t.”
Prerequisite: Seeker, Spiritbond class feature
You move with liquid grace and in a way that shows that you are unhindered by your environment. The primal spirits with whom you ally yourself guide your steps so that you can move without fear, boldly moving faster than your foes can track. You might use hidden pathways and shortcuts through the world.
Or you might have taken your first step into the spirit world and, by doing so, now have the same freedom enjoyed by the land’s spirit custodians.
Becoming a swift strider allows you to move with astonishing speed. You can anticipate your enemy’s attacks and spring to safety. As you follow this path, your body begins to blur when you move, making it hard for foes to protect themselves from your strikes. You attack while moving, spin away when your enemies hit you, and, eventually, speed through their ranks, delivering strikes that rob them of their mobility and increase your speed. By moving just outside the reach of your foes, you can deliver punishing attacks with your seeker powers to contain and control them so that your allies can move in for the kill.
