Talk:Pirate, Alternative (3.5e Class)
Careful with those titles
Writing it as Pirate (alternative) (3.5e Class) is gonna make the wiki think that the name of this class is Pirate and it belongs in the non-existent (alternative) section. We should change that. I'll do it for you but.... oh god, what... what happened to the formatting on the class? Where's the table? -- Eiji-kun (talk) 07:10, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
(EDIT: Found your formatting problem. Now just waiting a moment so you realize I'm gonna move this with a proper title. Hope I don't disrupt your work.) -- Eiji-kun (talk) 07:16, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
(EDIT: And the move is done.) -- Eiji-kun (talk) 07:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
No offense intended to Spazalicious Chaos
Hi, everyone. I was thinking that I wanted to include a proper pirate in a game I'll be starting soon. There was nothing in the PHB about one (unless you just wanted to put a rogue or a swashbuckler on a ship), so I went to the wikis.
Well, what do you know, but there was a Pirate homebrew sitting right here. I read it and I liked... parts of it. I don't want to come off as harsh, but the Pirates of the Caribbean thing that was obviously going on there just didn't fit any concept that I wanted to use.
If you're reading this, Spazalicious Chaos, please believe me that I didn't want to step on your toes or insult you in any way by making up my own pirate. I even hope you take it as a compliment that I stole some of your concepts (with some minor tweaks).
So, credit where credit is due: Some of the core "piratey" features (i.e. Pirate Specialty, Snatch Attack or "Snatch Steal", and Pirate Specialty Perfection) were written by Spazalicious Chaos first. Most of the other concepts came from the original Swashbuckler from the Complete Warrior (3.5), and Sneak Attack came from the rogue class.
The only crap that I came up with myself was Pirate Bluff, Drink Like a Pirate, and the upgrade to Lucky. Oh yeah, and I also downgraded Sneak Attack a little bit for this class (and I might get some hate messages for that).
Thank you. Good night. --Nolanf (talk) 08:25, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
