That's awesome. I started thinking about the bounty hunters idea more and suddenly had a mental image of a Gloranthan Boba Fett. He wears a cloth face mask that shows only his eyes, a long black cloak with hood and worships a Lunar god of bounty hunters. He has magic like: Magic Rope Grapple, Invisible Poison Darts and Flaming Leap. Of course, the downside to this religion is they have a weakness to blind guys with sticks knocking them into big pits. Where they are slowly digested over the next Imperial Wane.
