I really struggled to pinpoint Huntress PL, at first I was thinking of making her a straight PL10, then a PL9, In the end I setted for a PL9 that goes PL10 against her favored targets, making her a less skilled version of Batman

I decided not to gave her Attractive for the same reason I didn't with
Elektra, while Helena is good looking she rarely exploit it

the Profession skill and the Theology knowledge are little nods to her comic book counterpart

combat-wise Huntress is heavily based on pinning dangerous opponents at range and then using Defensive throw to get advantage over her opponents

on a more personal note, I really hate her current costume, first it packs almost every element I considered bad in the 90s design (hooker boots, bare midriff etc.), second if a costume is supposed to be armored it should cover a little more flesh
