You know? The Witcher Saga? Like LoTR with realism? I don't even know about D&D but let let me tell you about the witchers. They're orphans to begin with. Taken to Kaer Morhen where they're given the trials of herbs and grasses. Those who survive become more than human. And they are trained in the use of melee weapons, throwing weapons and a unique for a magic called signs. Many also learn other fighting techniques they are esential a medieval fantasy version of modern special forces soldiers. They are elite. But they no longer feel human compulsions. They were created to hunt the monsters that threaten the civilized world, Vampyrs, Leshii, Kikimora, Dragons, Sirens, Werewolves, Deep Ones, Drowners, Basilisks, and all manner of creatures who've taken up residence in this world since the conjunction of spheres.
