Sue me. <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=":)" />And aside from the Paladin, who might make a good pirate-hunter, the rest of the classes follow suit; pirating is not a class: it's a way of life. It's a skil-set and flavor. Wizards will harness the energy of Wind and Wave; Clerics will prosecute the will of their watery deity; Rogues will see opportunity for plunder, and mobility on thier ships; Water-borne Rangers will have the same regard for the sea that most rangers have for their forests.So any class or PrC can turn pirate, just as any class can be an effective brigand on a kingdom's highways.</blockquote>
