[QUOTE="Ed Cha, post: 1161862, member: 10972"] I can't seem to come up with a good line for this pirate NPC. I know EN World had a pirate day recently and there was a lot of "yar" and "arg" going on, but what's a good line for this pirate to say? Here's the description and stats for the pirate in question: ... Glamorgin the Terrible is the leader of the pirates. His piercing eyes and fearsome appearance are enough to get even the bravest man’s knees knocking. Unbeknownst to many, however, he has quite the sense of humor and secretly gives some of his ill-begotten wealth to the less fortunate. That could be a reason why he has been sympathetic with the marsh dwellers, whom he pities. Otherwise, Glamorgin the Terrible is cunning and ruthless. He shows no mercy to guards or nobles, unless they can fetch a good ransom. Glamorgin the Terrible – Male human Ftr8/Rog5: CR 13; Medium Humanoid; HD 8d10+5d6+30 (96 hp); Init +7 (+3 Dex, +4 feat); Spd 30 ft.; AC 19 (+3 Dex, +3 masterwork studded leather armor, +1 masterwork buckler, +2 Glamorgin’s Ring of the High Seas; touch 13, flat-footed 16; armor check penalty 0); BAB +11/+6/+1; Grapple +15/+10/+5; Atk +18/+13/+8 melee (1d6+6, crit. 16-20/x2, masterwork scimitar) or +16/+11/+6 melee (1d4+4, crit. 19-20/x2, masterwork dagger) or +18/+13/+8 ranged (1d10, crit. 19-20/x2, 120 ft., heavy crossbow); Face/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA +3d6 sneak attack; SQ trapfinding, evasion, trap sense +1, uncanny dodge; AL CE; SV Fort +10, Ref +9, Will +5; Str 19, Dex 16, Con 17, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 13. Age 44; Height 5 ft. 10 in.; Weight 185 lb.; black hair & brown eyes; Reputation -100 (Vile). Languages: Common, Orc, Sahuagin. Skills (55+55): Appraise +7 (5), Balance +8 (3), Bluff +11 (8), Climb +9 (5), Diplomacy +5 (0), Disable Device +6 (3), Disguise +8 (5), Escape Artist +8 (5), Forgery +10 (6), Gather Information +1 (0), Hide +3 (0), Intimidate +17 (10), Jump +13 (5), Move Silently +3 (0), Open Lock +8 (5), Perform +5 (4), Search +5 (5), Sense Motive +7 (7), Sleight of Hand +8 (3), Swim +12 (6), Tumble +10 (5), Use Rope +8 (5).
