Boon A bounty hunter can arrange to kidnap an NPC of 10th level or less for the PCs at half his usual fee.
Bounty hunters rarely hunt animals or beasts. Instead, they make not only sport but a lucrative business of capturing humanoid targets at the behest of wealthy patrons. Bounty hunters often work alone, but may lead a press gang of a sellsword, torturer, and two slavers (CR 12).
