Bounty Hunter Image

As a bounty hunter you have plied your trade well, offering dubious yet effective services to all manner of clients - from the head of a merchant guild, to the king of a small nation. Every job finished brought the clink of coins to your purse at the expense of another poor soul fated to endure consequences dire, and often foul.

Though the time spent in this line of work may have left you disillusioned with the world and with a grim visage, your reputation for ruthlessness and cunning precedes you. More often than not, you found yourself sought after, never needing to seek out work on your own.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: One gaming set
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: A simple or martial weapon that you’re proficient in, a gaming set of your choice, a notebook containing information about your current and former contracts, a bounty poster depicting your most recent target, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
 
Feature: Hired Blade

Your reputation precedes you, allowing you to easily find work while within cities. You know from experience the value of your work and can tell whether the posted reward for a contract is fair or not. You can also easily locate areas within cities where other bounty hunters and mercenaries congregate and socialize.

 
Suggested Characteristics

As a bounty hunter, your sole purpose is to hunt down people with a price on their head, for crimes that can range from mundane to truly despicable. Those who live this life might be quiet and taciturn individuals, or bloodthirsty predators who work not for pay but for the hunt itself.
