Spellsweaver: I've sent Hint (8 edge, 8 lantern) after absolutely ordinary hunter (weary detective) with no special abilities 4 times in a row. It never returned. I generally have an extremely low success rate using Hint to kill hunters, like 1 out of 5 or maybe even less.
However, when I used an ordinary human with just 5 edge, the success was way higher, about 3 out of every 4 times or so.
I've also seen people complaining on similar issues regarding powerful summoned minions. Could you please double-check that there is no bug with probability calculation. If there is none, I'd really love to know at least an estimate chance for an 8 edge minion to kill a regular hunter. From the description, it seems way over 50%, from my experience it's way under.

panayotov: I don't know how to link to another topic but this has already answered by the dev/creator. It's bad luck. There's 30% chance of failing and you're getting the short stick.

Eucredes: During expeditions only strengh 10 in an ability grants success. Also asking a lv 3 follower (with 10 point ability) to do a job for our cult is always successful. Maybe it's the same with hunting hunters?

I'd try sending after them the servant of Sun-In-Rags. She's difficult to summon, but is winter 10, edge 10 and dubbed the unstoppable force. Of course, you may always serve the annoying hunter some deadly tea.

gnarbrag: Remember all those times you got the hunter on the first try? Of course not because that's how the human mind works.

People also often misunderstand how probability works. If you flip a coin and get heads five times in a row, there's a 50% chance it'll end up heads again even though many people will say it's time for tails after 5 times heads. The coin doesn't know about the previous 5 times and neither would a good random number generator.
