Description
Manhunter is a system featuring lots of savage hi-tech combat, set in the far-future Manhunter universe, for which a history and star charts are provided. It is a skill-based system, with four types of skills: Finesse (acrobatics, archery, light blades, etc.), Manual (brawling, climbing, heavy blades, etc.), Mental (scientific, magical, psionic), and Reaction (piloting, fast draw, etc.). The rules also cover personal combat, space combat, experience, robots, three alien races, and a brief spell list. The game includes a GM's screen. The 2nd edition adds an introductory scenario with a description of a space port but lacks the GM's screen.
