[QUOTE="KenNYC, post: 7396385, member: 6791261"] What I am playing is a 5e version of 2e Al Qadim. In an effort to jury rig the Corsair, I took a regular fighter with the mariner fighting skill which I think was from UA sea advantures I found online (get 2 attacks per turn, must use a cutlass, cannot wear any armor heavier than leather, no shield). So thats pretty basic. Then came the extra attack action at 2nd lvl, but now at third I have to choose my martial archetype. They suggested I could re skin the Samurai archetype, but all of a sudden I have three more extra attacks per rest on top of the action surge which is on top of the mariner fighting style, and these are not the same attacks as the other attacks, or maybe I use different modifiers for those attacks...and as a 1e child I really am trying to avoid the 5e quagmire of playing Swords and Spreadsheets. I just want to be my Errol Flynn guy, role play charming and dashing, and dress like Prince Ali--fabulous he--while in town. It's proving a little difficult with the extra actions, special actions and extra special actions. I am trying to trim the statistical fat here, and roleplay my 17 charisma in peace. Anyway, to whoever asked, that's why I don't want the powers: they make me look at my sheet and do calculating and that's no fun. [/QUOTE]
