Action-4 Specialists- skill set questions

[Tinman]

First question:
on p.21 the silent killing skill set has Striking ST (Assassination, -60%).
Is there a writeup somewhere that explains exactly what that entails?

Second question:
Is there a Bounty Hunter skill set or has anyone made one?

Third Question:
Has anyone made a Slaver skill set?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Action 3 page 14.

I don't know that "Bounty Hunter" is a narrow enough skill set... unless you mean the skill of hunting people down, which is probably "Detective". Bringing them in is hostile extraction, and maybe a proper combat package as well.

Third Question:

If you mean capturing someone against their will, that's hostile extraction.

I'm trying to use the Specialist skill sets in a Banestorm/Steam-Punk setting and need to duplicate certain DF templates. One that I was looking to cover is Monster Slaver from Pyramid 3-47 p.20

Bounty hunting/bail enforcement is kind of a general term. You need to be good at putting desperate information together, following paper trails, etc. Detective Work or Researcher is therefore a must.

But you also need to be at least somewhat trained at dealing with aggressive targets so Hostile Extraction is also a must. Getting inside places calls for Illicit Entry. Staking out locals probably calls for Surveillance

All the bounty hunters I knew were either cops or grunts. So Law Enforcement or Infantry Training was common. One team also had a freelancer who was not a bail enforcement agent, but was tied into the local criminals and was VERY useful in finding people because of it. This sort of arrangement is not all too uncommon from what I hear. That'd probably be Criminal Past.

That's quite specialized...


Hostile extraction plus some low tech stuff around nets and cages sounds like your best bet.
