One that happens to be congruent with the levels for pirate-leader type people found in older editions. No, you misunderstand. The entire AP runs from 1st to 18th level. In part one, meant for PCs level 1-3, there are still no 4th level captains. Captaincy seems to require higher level. Again, it's an example. Just for kicks, can you find me any examples from published materials which back up your argument? Can you show me some low-level pirate lords in 3e/Pathfinder? -- I mean, other than ones you invent yourself.Are you seriously asking this in the context of a D&D campaign? It's like asking why your 4th level character can't have an 8th level henchman (would you like me to cite the SRD). Because character level represents/embodies all the different skills a character needs to acquire and maintain valuable allies like spellcasters and positions of command over the likes of many pirates? I mean, I suppose you could run a scenario where the 4th level pirate lord is never asked to make more than a DC: 15 skill check in the course of their command and deployment of 100 or more pirates, doing all manner of piratical things, all the while maintain the good graces and more important, use of, their capable spellcaster henchmen. No DM worth their salt I know off would do this. But hey, it takes all kinds...</blockquote>
