The cargo... I could see them maybe being better at stacking stuff, but that doesn't seem very piratey or sailory to me.A more important point, do 10 pirates increase the speed and carrying capacity by 100%? Does a crew of 50 pirates increase the speed, etc. by 500%?Unless you want every pirate rig with a decent crew to be overwhelmed by followers, I'd delay this ability until higher levels.So with a check, they can move less distance, and gain a +1 to their attack roll? Charging sounds a whole lot better, or at least equal. This ability doesn't really ring out as being a superior option to simply charging. I think First Mate sounds better <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />How long does it take to hoist the colors? I'd say a skill check should also be involved.See my comments on Seamanship.Like SamuraiY said, I'd give them a choice between the scimitar and rapier.I like the class, so that's why I'm picking on it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> That, and I am a sailor, a boatswain's mate no less, so I can't completely control myself  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
