Bounty Hunter (new class)

 Ready to take names and collect bounties? I have the class for you!

 An unholy alliance of assassin and ranger come together in the bounty hunter class.

Bounty Hunter

Requirements: Minimum DEX 9, minimum CON 9

Prime requisite: STR

Hit Dice: 1d8

Maximum level: 14

Armour: Leather, chainmail, including shields

Weapons: Any

Languages: Alignment, Common

Awareness

Bounty hunters are only surprised on a roll of 1. This may mean that a bounty hunter is able to act in the surprise round while their companions are surprised.

Bounty hunter Skills

Bounty hunters can use the following skills with the chance of success shown opposite:

▶ Hear noise (HN): In a quiet environment (e.g. not in combat), a bounty hunter may attempt to listen at a door or to hear the sounds of something (e.g. a wandering monster) approaching.

▶ Hide in shadows (HS): Requires the bounty hunter to be motionless—attacking or moving while hiding is not possible.

▶ Knock unconscious (KU): When attacking an unaware humanoid from behind, a bounty hunter gains a +4 bonus to hit. If the attack succeeds, the victim must save Versus paralyzation with a penalty dependent on the bounty hunter’s level (noted in the table below). If the save fails, the victim is instantly knocked unconscious, otherwise the Bounty hunter’s attack inflicts normal damage.

▶ Move silently (MS): A Bounty hunter may attempt to sneak past enemies unnoticed.

Disguise

As an assassin of the same level.

Tracking

As a ranger of the same level.

After Reaching 9th Level

 Upon reaching 9th level a bounty hunter may establish a bounty hunters guild attracting 2d8 1st level bounty hunters to work under them.
