[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 3284516, member: 19130"] Well, if he's a buckler-swashing type, you could give him an Oathblade - just like an Oathbow from the DMG, but in cutlass form. Change the activation phrases for it to suit the character, and you've got a solid +2 weapon with the ability to go all-in against the enemy captain or champion or whatever, plus the flashy criticals that the bards like. It fits his combat style too, since he can spend the first round or two buffing, identify the nastiest mother on the field, and then tumble right up in his face and give him a hard time with a very (temporarily) scary weapon - against a sworn foe, an oath weapon is +5, deals +2d6 extra damage on every hit, and increases its critical damage multiplier by 1. Couple of combats with that kind of power, even in limited form, and your pirate-bard'll probably have had his socks rocked off at least once or twice... If you're feeling more creative, you can also change the +3 enhancement bonus provided against a sworn foe (and possibly also the extra damage and better crits) into something more appropos. It's one of my favorite tricks when I'm outfitting my characters or crafting items for them. [/QUOTE]
