[QUOTE="Morrow, post: 2582848, member: 301"] While [I]Freeport: The City of Adventure[/I], [I]Stormwrack[/I], and [I]Dragon [/I] have provided some pirate specific magic items, I'd like to create some more. First up is the [B]Vest of the Pirate[/B]. I've got a swashbuckling fighter headed for the Freeport Pirate prestige class in my game. She's been a little short on magic so far, so I'd like to work up something useful for her to find down the road. Vests and vestments are supposed to give bonuses to class abilities. I'd like to create one that helps out swashbuckling pirate types. Here are some existing vest and vestment examples: [B]Druid's Vestment[/B] - One extra wild shape per day [B]Rogue's Vest[/B] - bonuses to hide and move silently. Bonus to reflex saves. +1d6 to sneak attack. [B]Vest of Legends[/B] - bonuses to diplomacy and peform. Bonus class levels for bardic song. Looking at these models, I think that the Vest of the Pirate ought to give bonuses to a couple useful skills like Tumble, Jump, Balance, or Climb. It also ought to provide some kind of specific class ability bonus. Unfortunately neither the fighter nor the Freeport Pirate (my target audience, as it were) have class abilities that really lend themselves to a numerical bonus, like the vests and vestment mentioned above. Another aproach might be to grant a swashbuckle-friendly bonus feat, like Improved Disarm or Quick Draw. However, magic items that grant feats are problematic, and how impressed is a fighter really going to be by another feat? I'd also like to create a [B]Pirate's Eyepatch[/B]. One obvious aproach would be a "I can see better with one eye than you can with two," idea. Perhaps a bonus to spot, and able to cast see invisible 1/day. There are certainly other possible approaches. Any suggestions for the [B]Vest of the Pirate [/B] or the [B]Pirate's Eyepatch[/B]? Post your own pirate magic items! Morrow [/QUOTE]
