Furthermore they'll have good reflex saves.If you simply made the rules for guns such that guns target reflex instead of armor, then a common quantity of guns will make heavy armor and a bad ref or int score a bad choice in general. Pretty much exactly how it worked in real life.Additionally, people will want a good dex to fire a gun.The fact that the iconic pirate melee weapons (swords) all benefit from high dex will also help.Also - remember that vikings were also pirates, and they were perfectly happy running around in chainmail. It really came down to the existence of the gun that stopped all that.</blockquote>
