Sharpshot Companion

The Sharp Shot Company is famous for producing some of the world’s best skirmishers, scouts and even assassins. These highly skilled marksmen, often referred to as simply Sharp Shot Companions, are regularly hired in groups to supplement military forces or as individual units to perform patrols and other light engagements. Their impressive skills make them highly sought after by any army or enterprise willing to pay top dollar for an advantage over their enemies. Intense training ensures the Sharp Shot Companion’s ability with ranged weaponry is second to none with the Sharp Shot Company having a vested interest in making sure their good name doesn’t come to ill repute.

Aside from their work as mercenaries for hire, Sharp Shot Companions are sometimes employed as monster hunters. Though not officially endorsed by the Sharp Shot Company, it is a job they find themselves aptly suited for. Particularly during peacetime. Often working alone, they are entrusted to negotiate their own price for the job. While the Sharp Shot Company does offer guidelines when it comes to contracts, it isn’t too concerned with the finer details, so long as they get their cut. It is not uncommon, when dealing with a particularly difficult monster, for several Sharp Shot Companions to come together as a larger unit. This of course comes with a very steep increase in price.
