In order to learn to be a Demon Hunter, the character must spend many weeks reading and memorizing a special tome, called the Libro Creaturae Inferno that contains detailed information about demons and some secrets of Hell.The Demon Hunter learns all they can about their enemy. The predecessors to the modern Demon Hunter learned where the weak spots on a demon are and how to strike them just right to either break a limb, deal maximum damage, or outright kill the demon. By consuming the flesh of demons, they are able to empower themselves to fight them on more equal grounds. This is a dangerous tightrope to walk, with benifits and detriments alike.

After learning demon lore, it takes 6 months for the demon hunter to be able to learn the Endowments and martial skills as their body undergoes a transformation. While they can learn faith skills, it is unlikely they will be able to utilize both demon hunter abilities and faith at the same time.
