'''{{Anchor|Unchained Hunt}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 21st level, a Bounty Hunter has perfected his craft, perfected the art of the hunt, and mastered the subtle nuances of his spell-like abilities, making them easier on him to use. A Bounty Hunter of this master rank can use his greater knowledge of the hunt to be able to mark any creature as a quarry regardless of creature type or shape of the creature. A master Bounty Hunter of this level may also have as many quarries as he would like, and may make a target a quarry with only 2 minute of study, rather than the normal 10. A master Bounty Hunter may also unmark a quarry without losing any experience points for an unmarked quarry.

The Bounty Hunter also uses his adept expertise to expand on the following abilities at this level as well:

:Master Tracker: The penalty for finding a target that is under the effects of a ''pass without trace'' spell is reduced from &minus;10 to &minus;5.

:Instincts: A Bounty Hunter may use this ability an unlimited number of times per day, and even against targets who are not quarries, but he must have a specific target (i.e Ralson Smith), not a general concept (i.e the thief who stole the fruit from the local vendor). Also, a Bounty Hunter who is able to damage a quarry no longer has a time restriction until he loses track of the quarry. If the quarry crosses plannar boundaries, the Bounty Hunter now automatically knows what plane the target is on at all times, and if the Bounty Hunter can secure passage to that realm, when he arrives on that plane, he again automatically knows which direction the quarry is in, and the approximate distance (within 10% of the total distance) between himself and his quarry as normal.

:Unshackled: The number of rounds per day that a Bounty Hunter can use this ability is increased to 1/2 his class level.

:Teleport: Teleport can now be used a number of times per day equal to 1/2 the Bounty Hunter's class level + his wisdom modifier. The :Bounty Hunter's teleport ability still has an automatic off target arrival when targeting a quarry with an unknown location, and an on target arrival when targeting a quarry with an exact known location. A Bounty Hunter may now take other passengers with him per the normal teleport spell description. Quarries still receive no saving throw or spell resistance when being held by the Bounty Hunter.

:Ray of Exhaustion, Dimensional Anchor, Locate Creature, Mark of Justice, Find the Path, Force Cage, and Discern Location can now be used a number of times per day equal to 1/2 the Bounty Hunter's class level.  

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feats}}:''' The epic Bounty Hunter gains a bonus feat every 3 levels after 20th.

'''Improved Tracking:''' At 24th level and every 6 levels thereafter, an epic Bounty Hunter gains an additional +2 on all Gather Information, Listen, Search, Spot, and Survival checks.

'''{{Anchor|Grand Master}} Bounty Hunter ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A 25th level Bounty Hunter has become a Grand Master of his craft. Against targets that are quarries, the Grand Master Bounty Hunter now adds his entire Bounty Hunter level (up from 1/2 his level) as an insight bonus on all Bluff, Gather Information, Listen, Search, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks made against a quarry, or any skill or ability checks made to determine the whereabouts of a quarry, and gains a bonus equal to his Wisdom modifier on attack and damage rolls against his quarry.

'''{{Anchor|Soul Scry}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):'''  At 30th level, the Bounty Hunter gains the ability to produce an effect identical to the Soul Scry spell, found on the bottom of page 86 in the Epic Level Handbook. This ability allows a Bounty Hunter to forge a connection with a quarry. The target is entitled to a Will saving throw (DC 20 + 1/2 the Bounty Hunters class level + the Bounty Hunter's wisdom modifier) to negate. If successful, the Bounty Hunter enters a trance-like state, becoming vulnerable as he can no longer see or hear with his own senses, and in exchange gains real time feed into the quarry's 5 senses. The Bounty Hunter sees everything the quarry sees, hears everything the quarry hears. This effect lasts as long as the Bounty Hunter concentrates on the effect. The quarry is entitled to a new saving throw each time the Bounty Hunter attempts to tap into the target's senses. Even if a quarry makes his saving throw, a quarry never gains any special awareness of what has happened.
