Yes I know this may need some work its sort of a firts attempt. I want something to fill this role (i also did it for interest sake and as a trial run). If you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.



Bounty Hunter

Adventures: Bounty Hunters adventure for money. They expect to be well paid for his services. Most actions this individual takes are devoted to increasing his personal wealth.

Alignment: Most Bounty Hunters are either neutral or evil. They are the ultimate mercenaries. Neutral bounty hunters care about no one other than themselves and perhaps a few select friends. Evil bounty hunters are willing to hunt others with no thought as to who they harm. Any collateral damage, well…, doesn’t matter. He got paid. Good aligned bounty hunters are exceptionally rare. While a neutral hunter might do a good dead, i.e. - hunt down a major villain, the nature of a hunters job prevents good aligned characters from being in the business.

Justiciar Prestige class from Complete Warrior is simply one option. The second option is taking the ranger class, using your favored enemy as your sneak attack equivelent [comes with bonuses, plus you can do it to undead if you take it] and taking individual humanoid subtypes as you gain favored enemy.

I was going to read this and then I looked at your table. I couldn't read shitazki. Fix the table and I'll give my words of wisdom.

Due to formating difficulties I'm not able to put in the save progression. the Bounty Hunter has saves as a rogue of the same level.

can't seem to get the right formating. First number is level (each line), then the base attk bonus, then special abilities, then spells per day. i appologize for the inconvenience.

so basicly, you want a ranger, that has PrC'ed into an assasin, and that ranger/assasin works for money. thats about in basis of what a D&D bounty hunter is. that help any?

basically, yeah. I was just trying to form a class list. In a game, thats what I'll do. Thanks
