The Bounty Hunter

Nicely done. I have basically used the all purpose Rogue to generate some good bounty hunter characters but one could also use a combination of Rogue and Hunter [alternate rolls from those tables] to create a bounty hunter that would track human and non-human beings.

Looks OK! Now find a copy of GT: Bounty Hunters and see what they came up with. (I don't have it) Could be a interesting comparison/cross check of ideas.

FWIW I'd treat a Bounty Hunter how D&D3E treats Assassins for example. Anyone can become one.

Exp: getting a quick small bounty inbetween jobs or on the way to the next stop for a job

Granted some careers or skillsets might be better for someone who does nothing but Bounty Hunting. (esp. depending on the chargen used)

At least the Gurps Bounty Hunters book isn't too costly and should have some good ideas for Bounty Hunter types even if you don't use GT.

And watch Cowboy Bebop if you haven't already. :cool: :D

Casey (if even Ed and Ein can be Bounty Hunters!)
