12-15-05, 07:18 PM I want to make a bounty hunter type character but I can't decide on what a proper alignment would be. I think he should be Lawful Nuetral because he does deal alot with the law but then again he really doesn't care about the law when it comes to a bounty so maybe Chaotic Neutral or Neutral. What do you guys think a bounty hunter would be?

12-16-05, 04:18 AM Lawful alignments do not mean they must follow society's rules and regulations. Your bounty hunter could have his own code of ethics: once he takes a job, he sees it through or dies trying; he won't take bribes from wanted individuals that he is persuing or has captured; if the bounty is not paid in full, he will rescue the wanted person (the other party did not live up to the agreement); etc.

The a lawful bounty hunter will notify the local authorities of his actions, unless his actions will be considered illegal in that jurisdiction. Often, he will obey local laws and customs-so long as they do not prevent him from doing his job.
