The Buccaneer!

The Buccaneer represents Vastonia's warrior of the high seas. Spending most of their lives onboard mighty ships learning the ways of the hardened seaman. The Buccaneer or more commonly referred to as a Pirate, tend to indulge themselves by mastering sea navigation, capturing enemy sea vessels (looting them) and/or seeking long lost treasures of the land. Buccaneer's have stomach's of iron, the courage of ten normal men and a passion for victory second to none. Making them an admiral opponent for anyone.

Buccaneer's are generally crude, pushy people that stop at nothing to get what their after. Killing a few innocents and sinking defenseless ships never really cross their mind when thought's of glory and treasure befront them, even to the nicest of these rugged people. Some become shipmates of royal fleets, others man some of Vastonia's most renown exploration vessels. None the less, every Buccaneer strives to better themselves through other people's downfall. The only exception to this may be a few hardy PC's or a fun- loving exploration crew. However, fun-loving people are rare in this realm.

Class Requirements: The primary attribute for a Buccaneer is Dexterity. To become a Buccaneer one must have a minimum dexterity of 14, a constitution of not less than 13. A Buccaneer can be of any alignment, however more than often cling to evil or at best neutral alignments. Buccaneer's are generally Humans, Gnolls, Orcs or Ogre's but many other races have been encountered throughout time.

General Info: Buccaneer's use a ten sided die (1D10) for hitpoint determination, like normal fighters. They also use the combat tables like that of the fighter (thaco/saving throws etc).

Buccaneer's start with 3d6 gp, 3 weapon proficiency slots and 4 non-weapon proficiency slots. After such time they receive 1 WP and 1 NWP slot every 3 levels. Bonus proficiencies include; navigation (sea), drinking, rope use.

Class Restrictions: Can never be dual class or multi class.

Combat Bonuses: Buccaneer's always receive a +1 bonus to any constitution checks made onboard any seavessels. They receive a +2 morale bonus when attacking other ships under their captain's command. However this is lost if he/she parishes in battle. Buccaneer's also gain the following bonuses "to hit" with certain weapons. They are as follows:

+1 to hit with all Cutlass's

+1 to hit with all Rapier's

+1 to hit with all Bastard swords (one handed only)

+1 to hit when attacking (swinging) from yard arms, ropes or other ship siege equipment

Special Disadvantages: nil, well they sway a little when walking on normal land, hehe.
