- If you believe something will work, it has better chance of working. If you're wearing a gemstone that's got a piece of Monoblos in it it's bound to make you feel tougher. And maybe all the earplugs gems secretly go over the Hunter's ears. - Don't know. Lots of behind the scenes practise? - Same reason the Hunter isn't, I guess. Maybe they've got their own equivalent of Cold Drinks. - Maybe the Guild paya them to watch over you? - Although the hunter will probably get eaten at some point, when you faint the monster sees the threat has gone. And really, who'd want to eat something covered in hard, spikey, unpleasant armor?
