So, it seems like we need some rules for when to play the hunters. I'm thinking that we should only play them when we can play in groups of three or more. Playing solo might be necessary sometimes though. So I think it should be allowed for characters who start to fall behind and want to catch up, ones who just want to run somewhere to get a pet, or various other non-leveling reasons. In general though we should aim to always be in groups of 3. If anyone else thinks we need more rules or doesn't like this idea then feel free to comment. : )
I'm also going to take a stab at the backstory of the group. I'm not a writer though, so this will be very rough and just basically trying to fit all the ideas and such into it. If anyone wants to redo it to make it better, you should feel free to do that as well.
The Clan Of The Cave Bear
The clan of the cave bear is a group of hunter orcs that make their home in bear infested mountains where few others dare to tread. This isolation has caused a great fondness between them and the bears they live with. Their main exposure to the outside world is through other hunters who occasionally find them. Some of these hunters stay and join their ranks and so you may find a few other races amongst them. This lack of contact with others has built a great mistrust of non-hunters.
The dangers of their home have also taught them that traveling in groups is for the best, so you will rarely ever see them in groups of less than three. They have been seen with both guns and bows, so it is unknown if they favor one or the other. They have also been seen with hunters who have pets that aren't bears, so it would seem that they at least tolerate them.
Thats all I have. Just basically trying to fit all the pieces together. Using bear pets, playing in groups of 3 or more, being mainly orcs but other hunters being welcome, etc etc.
