Bounty Hunter Image

You made your living tracking down anyone or anything someone was willing to pay you to find. You have gone and will go anywhere to get the job done. You are comfortable working alone and have knack for improvising on the fly. There is no shortage of work, simple perusal of a message board in the town square, eavesdropping in the local tavern, or heading to the magistrates office will suffice.

Most bounty hunters aren't particular over whether or not they are to bring back their quarry alive. While many specialize in collecting late payers, others find wanted criminals and remove problematic figure heads. While a lot of bounty hunters work alone they are not opposed to joining an adventuring party when the target is far beyond their own capabilities.

Feature: Ear to the Ground

You are in frequent contact with people in the segment of society that your chosen quarries move through. These people might be associated with the criminal underworld, street urchins, business owners, or even members of high society. This connection comes in the form of a person who provides information about the people and places of the local area in any city you visit.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Whether you are working for the local law enforcement or on a private contract for the local loan sharks bounty hunters tend to be where the gold is. You attract trouble and excitement wherever you go and that is about where the similarities end. Some are known to be part of a guild or the local guard. Some are retired soldiers or former bandits seeking redemption. Whatever brought you to this realm of employment you are guaranteed excitment and a good fight.
