[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 1077372, member: 7211"] I don't know about the combat styles. A lot of people don't really like them (Im somewhere in-between) because they are so limited. Also, I wouldnt want to dictate how a bounty hunter hunts, and that would require a broad combat style or a long list for the bonus feats. Either way, I think the bounty hunter is pretty buff without it. I added Favored Sight at 10th level, and I think it makes a good goal to strive for. Especially against stronger (or more cunning) monsters, it will be a life-saver (although like the Shadowdancer, possibly a bit frustrating for DMs). I am fairly confident a bounty hunter could track someone who was being careless (regardless of magic), but someone who was taking their time (and therefore had the luxury of taking it) could throw one off with a few well-cast spells. Either way, a bounty hunter manages to track non-magically and without spells, so I think that type of flavor is nice for a lot of campaigns. I originally added a few extra skills to the ones benefitted by Favored Enemy - Disguise (as in, easier to Disguise yourself as your enemy) and Use Rope (as in, easier to tie up your favored enemy). These are just little flavor things, but may appeal to certain players. I'm fairly pleased with Improved Track and Trackless Step. Bigger higher magic campaigns could even use a mechanic like that (with Improved Track, Swift Tracker, and Master Tracker) as a feat progression and I think it gives more plausability to Trackless Step (seems silly 20th level rangers can't track 3rd level druids...). I think its a good class to dip in for a couple levels, especially if you are concerned about spellcasting, but it is also very rewarding for the dedicated bounty hunter. Each level before F.E. you gain nothing, almost in anticipation of the nice gains ahead. I think I'm pretty much finished with the class, unless someone else has some advice/criticism/gripes....
