Some mercenaries eschew the complications of politics, oaths of service, and fealty and just get paid to hunt monsters. It's a straightforward form of mercenary service, often dangerous in the extreme, but one that can yield glory and fame. A broad category that includes those wielding arms, spells, or even guile and cunning, mercenaries hire themselves and their expertise to those with the gold to pay for it.

WORKS WELL WITH

SnareLANDImmobilized targets let this slow-footed striker close with Sudden Charge and land full rage attacks without wasting actions on pursuit.
FlankerLANDA mobile partner sets up off-guard while Sudden Charge closes gaps, creating tempo through action-efficient positioning.
MenderLANDHealing offsets the defensive penalty from rage, sustaining frontline numbers through attrition.
