New Black Market Item: Hitmen?

[Kitai Yoru]

Npc's are very expensive to hire, and even more to level up. They are ryo drains to whoever wants to use them. My suggestion is a new item for the each of the black markets; hired hitmen. These would count as a consumable item, in which you can hire a single hitman, or several weaker ones, to either back you up in a fight, or to invade a targeted character whenever they do open threads, or certain adventures. This would provide a cheaper alternative to training up npc's. This could also be used as a special service for Xcution. Since they're the assassin organization, characters could hire class appropriate characters to go after others for ryo.

I like the idea, but wouldn't it be simpler to just have something akin to slight Bingo Book changes? Perhaps allow a player to put another character in the bingo book via the Black Market, that way pretty much anybody could take up the hit? Hell, even give Xcution the ability to do it directly at a rank 4 position.

I mean sure. Giving people the chance to add custom bingo book entries with your own ryo as a reward sounds like it could be a fun thing for characters to go after.
