Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Goblin, and Orc. - Favored Class: Rogue. A multiclass halfling’s rogue class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing. ;-)  Sorry, I couldn't resist.In all seriousness, I want to incorporate the undead and magic items from the first Pirates of the Caribean movie (and the sequal had some cool concepts, as well), but can't quite figure out the logistics.You'd have unturnable (or maybe just Turn Resistance +?) and DR -/gold, skeletons with really high regeneration; and the magic compass that apparently can guide the way to anywhere you have been before/ really want to go.DJC</blockquote>
