[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3502362, member: 13966"] You need to become..........a SWORDSAGE! :D Not right away, necessarily, but it'd be appropriate enough I think. I know Keith Baker or someone else working on Eberron made an article, either in Dragon or Dungeon or on the Wizards of the Coast website, on using the Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords in Eberron (heck the Bo9S has a few things already well suited or tailored for Eberron). Some of the disciplines are suitable for a pirate-type, and it'll boost your combat ability as well as give you decent skills. You can develop in the roguish Shadow Hand discipline or the animalistic Tiger Claw discipline (maybe head into the Bloodclaw Master or whatever it's called, later; a PrC that focuses on Tiger Claw and shifting), or the zen-like, swift and precise, action-without-thought Diamond Mind discipline. Desert Wind is good for swashbuckler types, though its fire and wind themed (not water and wind themed), so some of its maneuvers may be unsuited to a pirate or swashbuckler. If you go into Warblade or an appropriate prestige class instead, you might develop some White Raven or Iron Heart maneuvers, which are sort of bardic (WR) and sort of fighter-ish (IH). The swordsage gets a lot of maneuvers, so they can learn from multiple disciplines easily enough. [/QUOTE]
