You're a scurvy dog, a dread bandit of the void, a black hole for ships to be stretched and consumed within. You and your crew enjoy a wicked reputation, and with red sails bright against the dark void, you strike fear in the hearts of honest spelljammer sailors. Not that there's even a single honest sailor you've met, of course.
- Equipment: A talking alien pet (usually multicolored and birdlike), 50 feet of silk rope, a charm for dark nights (such as a bottle with a sparkling miniature spelljammer within), a set of extravagant pirate's clothes to strike fear in your enemies, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp
When you hoist the red sails that signify your spelljammer as a pirate vessel, most other spelljammers will surrender and willingly provide you with a portion of their loot rather than risk a fight. If the ship thinks it has a significant advantage over you, however, it may fight. Your ship has fake sails as well, which allows it to go under the radar if you don't wish to be identified as a pirate ship
Variant: Privateer
Choose this variant feature if you would like to play a pirate that hunts other pirates.
You've been commissioned to hunt down pirates wherever they may appear in the astral seas. You receive regular bounties, often quite generous, on known pirates. You can collect on these generous bounties if you provide proof the pirate has been defeated.
