Historical fantasy game: need a new term for adventurer
Roguelantern:
Would 'bounty hunter' do?
Living Legend:
Bounty Hunter might work, as long as I redfine the concept of 'bounty' to be about more than just bringing criminals to justice
Ron Edwards:
I need to make myself more clear now.

To be more specific I want this term to represent those that make a living by risking their lives in dangerous situations, usually involving violence, in the hopes that they will get rich or become famous doing so. Quote
I suppose an individual who lives by violence is essentially a man-at-arms. Although of course this usually carries implications of being in institutional employ, because thats the alternative to banditry. But at its root its just the desciption of someone who makes a living through the exercise of warfare. Otherwise, something that might be a bit closer to your intent is condottiere, or "contractor", which doesn't specify but does imply military skills.
Condotterie works but sounds very ethnically specific, which is why I'm leaning towards privateer

Sorry Ron I just read this. I don't have my work available online anywhere. If that is a problem I will have to bow out.
