You can run a pirate-themed campaign in 5e, but it’s not a great fit without some serious adjustments. The rules are built for...

If you are going pirate, ditch D&D. It's seriously isn't that great. I would suggest 7th sea, 1st edition. It's game about swasbuckling...

While item is cool, from practical side, it does 5 more damage. Bonus to hit is better in long run since +2 gives you 10% more chance...
