You can try to dust that under the rug with claims of personal attacks and "Shalt Nots", but the flaws in the actual substance don't go away.That I agree with.That I do not.Thanks, 5th.Page 24 talks about "Ships in strange waters", but the quote on page 81 (Knowledge (geography) covers the rare art of piloting and navigation—knowing where you are, where you’re going, and how to get there from here.) seems to extend that to all waters.  OTOH, neither quote indicates that a person without Knowledge (geography) cannot read a naval chart; simply that they lack the necessary skills to turn that ability to read into an ability to set a course by said chart.When we look at page 82, we discover that "A captain is usually an expert (or multiclass expert), bard, fighter, paladin, or rogue with at least 7 to 10 ranks in Profession (sailor), 4 to 7 ranks in Knowledge (geography), 2 to 4 ranks in Knowledge (nature) or Survival, and 2 to 4 ranks in an interaction skill such as Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate.", which seems to make explicit that a captain can be a fighter.....that, in fact, a fighter is one of the classes which is usual for that position.So, if we appeal to the authority of Stormwrack, we see that Blackbeard can indeed be a fighter.RC</blockquote>
