Pirate Companion

Pirate_Image.png100In the treacherous, gold-laden waters of Carrouban, where every tide brings new adventure and danger, sometimes you need to seize the moment without delay. For those eager to hoist the Jolly Roger, whether you're a new recruit to the high seas, making a quick cameo on a daring raid, or simply need a loyal ally to bolster your crew, the Pirate Companion offers a ready-made character to jump straight into the swashbuckling action.

This template embodies the quintessential Carrouban seadog: a seasoned individual with a balanced physique and sharp instincts, ready for the rough-and-tumble life on the waves. Equipped with a trusty cutlass, a Queen Anne's pistol, and a Dagger, they are prepared for both close-quarters brawls and ranged skirmishes. With Combat Reflexes to react swiftly in a fight, Naval Training and Sea Legs to master the deck, and a strong Sense of Duty to their companions, this pirate is more than just a warm body - they're a capable adventurer bound by a Code of Honor to their fellow buccaneers.
