So. Hear me out.
Hunters are actually kind of a perfect fit for RP. They are mid-round antagonists that specialize in stealthy maneuvering and killing targets ideally unseen. That's kind of like, what most antags do already on RP. Changeling does this, as does the vampire, and both of these work perfectly fine and have been for ages.
Hunters aren't super robust like the werewolf, and have the ability to talk, meaning the RP potential of a Hunter is great. They can communicate just fine, they can scare the crap out of people AND, they would work really well for rounds that could use a bit of antag culling, as their mechanic incentivizes playing a bit of anti-hero for extra points.
I know there are concerns, but we've had concerns regarding wizards for years as well, and then when we tried it, it worked just fine. I think the same is true for Hunters, and I genuinely think it'd be worth a testmerge. If it doesn't work, so be it, we remove it again. We tried Werewolves, that didn't work. But I think Hunters are a genuinely good fit.
