Nice Pirate Builds

Unread post by Flayeriv »

I'm looking for some nice pirate builds.

Dread Pirate would be nice, but honestly just some nice builds for a piratical character, not really tied to any specific class or class combination. Any and all suggetsions are welcome.

I would imagine some type of swashbuckler would fit the role well. This recent thread could be a good starting resource for you.

Pros
More AB
"Less damage"
Crit immune
Undead army
Can get extra AC with a shield
Cons:
Evil
I like this build cause you can use torch and weapon feat with two weapon fighting (Get for free from dread pirate) fits the Pirate theme adds a bit of damage and a small daze effect 1d6 fire damage

Not required, but bard definitely helps as a dip so you can have inspiration up all the time. SB16/B4/DP10 is a simple build that'll give you some really good stuff. Go for high dex PTWF with rapier and kukri for that swashbuckling pirate feel with lots of weakening crits.

Here's my take on a Halfling version. Damage is a bit on the low end (19 avg), but with half of it being Magic/Sonic it at least bypasses most DRs.

Kukris are likely the better option for damage due to more frequent crits. But good daggers will be easier to find/buy.
