Bounties and Bounty Hunting

[Xanfyrst]

Heya

As some of you know, my character Alistair is a bounty hunter. He's mostly doing "off-screen" bounty hunting since not many bounties are up, if ever, these days. (Maybe some DM could feel inspired to have some events around this? )

Anyway, I have some questions regarding this:

1) How are bounties handled in the various places on the server? Are they "Dead or Alive" kind of bounties? They need some proof of death, like bodies or body-parts that proves the identity of the person?

2) Who is dealing with bounties in various places? Flaming Fist in BG?

3) Player bounties is treated like Assassination contracts?

Thanks in advance!

Can I add a thought for consideration in any answer.

Could players/groups - sponsor a bounty/assassination in line with an ongoing theme player is rping.

Gm collects half bounty as admin. sponsoring group pays out directly.

GM places target in game on reset and informs potential hunters. (lasts temporarily per reset or perhaps persistently if deemed appropriate.)

On recovery of bounty returning direct to sponsoring player group allows some player rp.

Relevant GM advances any plot as a result of these actions

Just a thought

1) Depends on the DM running the bounty, or the player managing the bounty (if it was a player initiative).

2) Perhaps, but as far as I know there hasn't been a consistent "this is the guy" to follow with regards to bounties, nor initiative towards pursuing a bounty-hunting sideplot. It would be an interesting one for a DM to work on, though, should one be interested.

3) Player bounties would still be subject to PvP rules. If you wish the suspension of rules as an assassination contract, you would need to file an assassination contract.
