Headhunter 📜

A page detailing the Headhunter role within Medieval Discord and their seek command.

Description:

Headhunters are men and women who make a living by claiming the lives of outlaws and bandits and exchanging proof of their completed bounty in the Market. This is sponsored by the Royal Crown, however, their services are looked down upon because they often take on bounties placed by the general public. The more people kill, the more they are shunned in society. Since headhunters make a living off of taking lives, they are often ostracized if not actively excluded from society.

Relationship with the Market and other Users:

Headhunters make a living by hunting down people who have bounties on their heads, be they Outlaws or simply people who someone wants dead. Additionally, they also attack Bandits, as their heads also bring a lot of profit for them. The seek command, if successful will grant a number of "Proof of Bounty" which can be sold on the Market. Additionally, there is also a small chance that a successful seek will also drop random weapons/armor. Failing the seek command will incur a -20 HP penalty, meaning you can end up wounded, maimed, killed, or even kidnapped if you're really unlucky.

Characters with the Headhunter role have a buff during combat against other characters with the Bandit/Outlaw/Bounty role.

Unlike other criminals, Headhunters' work is not explicitly illegal, since Bandits and Outlaws are enemies of the Crown. However, their illegality comes from their readiness to accept illegal contracts like bounties.
