[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6286535, member: 2518"] And if you would read my post you would have seen that I have replied to your 3 and 4E comment only (and mainly mean 3E because it actually has a skill system). We are talking about pirates. If you have some strange idea of bloodthirsty orc pirates which in every way deviate from the only reference we have, namely real world history, then you need to mention that. And while you belittle 4the level as low and not worthy of the tilte lord, you fail to explain why and give an numbers which you think are reasonable. And I won't play guessing games with you. Its your turn to provide those numbers and an explanation of why you think those numbers are needed. And while you are at it, explain what a "pirate lord" exactly is. And what wins you elections is primarily charisma with competency sprinkled in. And a fighter, especially if he has not dumped intelligence, certainly has enough competency to not fail in this regard. Remember, a captain does not have to perform every task required on a ship better than his crew. It doesn't matter how well he ties knots. You again fail to provide an explanation what skill checks you think are needed and why. Why fighter? Because that was Hussars point and because I gathered from your short description that you expect that the pirates can only be hold together by liberal and constant application of violence. And yet again you fail to provide numbers and explanations. Why is it unreasonable that most normal people are 1st level? And why does a title have a minimum level requirement? And even if, 2nd or 3rd level, compared to 1st level, is quite a bit better. [/QUOTE]
