[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 1036582, member: 3987"] Agreed and unless he was very particular about the contracts he took I wouldn't allow a good mercenary. I wouldn't allow a good duelist either unless they only dueled on matters of honor and not for cash. And in both cases the person they kill is also attempting to kill them. Disagree a soldier is payed to either defend his nation or to fight war for his nation, and a good or neutral one would only kill where needed to fulfill those objectives. Sure you can have evil soldier or mecenaries that loot and murder but that isn't required for the job. A bounty hunter only captures or kills those people that have already committed crimes. The people he hunts would not be in the situation if they had not taken unlawful actions to make them a criminal. A assassin will kill a noble king, or a charitable priest for money, none other people you mentioned above would do such an act for money. Oh and an assassin would probably much prefer to kill them in their sleep, less chance of a fair fight the better, all the others are much more likely to come across their foe on equal terms, and in all the other cases the person they kill is partly responsible for being at the end of their sword, unlike an assassin where his foe can be completely innocent.
