Message: <blockquote data-quote="BASHMAN" data-source="post: 3239663" data-attributes="member: 8277">Actually, I decided to forget dread pirate altogether!  Why?Ranger!  Ranger has good Fort and Ref saves.Ranger has full BAB like the Dread pirate.Ranger has 2WF, just like Dread Pirate.Ranger gets 6 skillpoints per level like the pirate, and also has Pro: Sailor and Use Rope on his list.And  best of all, Ranger can get a cool parrot or monkey as an animal companion.  Arrrr Matey.What ranger gets that I DON"T want: Track-- utterly out of character, unless it is used to track migratory patterns of whales or something. Favored enemy, as written, is not what I should take.  I would want favored enemy: Sea Monsters instead of having to chose between magical beast, dragon, animal, and abberation, of which a sea monster could be any of those 4 things.  My proposal will be, a large or larger sea-monster that is not humanoid.  This would include whales, giant squid, sea serpents, dragon turtles, eye of the deep, etc.  I think he could go for it.  2nd Favored enemy will be Human (the best choice for a pirate, I think!)So, as of now, I propose two different builds.  Which do you prefer?Build 1 Rogue 2 (2nd level is just for evasion)Ranger 2 (Two-Weapon Fighting)Fighter 2 (2 free feats)Master Thrower 2 (2nd level gives IMPROVED evasion)Continue as Fighter (till 4th)/Ranger/Rogue (keep it 2 levels below ranger)Feats at Level 5: Brutal ThrowPoint Blank ShotPrecise ShotTwo-Weapon Fighting (Ranger)Track (Ranger-- hopefully can get this replaced by something else)Level 6 (Fighter 2) take Weapon Focus: Spear, Weapon Focus: CutlassLevel 7-8 Master ThrowerLevel 9+ Fighter/RangerProblem with the build: Gives up some will save bonus, gives up some feats, has too many classes.  Benefit- Improved Evasion at level 7.Build 2Ranger 2Fighter 3Master Thrower 2Continue between Fighter and RangerFeats at Level 5Weapon Focus: Spear (Lv 1)Point Blank Shot (Lv 2)TWF (Ranger 2)Track (Ranger 1, hopefully replaced by something else)Precise Shot (Fighter 1)Weapon Focus: Cutlass (Fighter 2)Advantages of this build: Get to master thrower at 6th level instead of 7th.  More Feats.  No xp/class issues.  Disadvantages: No sneak attack(didn't really want it) and no Improved Evasion (really liked that).  Less skill points. So, what do you all think?</blockquote>
