Pirate Captain

In the treacherous waters of the world, a Pirate Captain stands at the helm of their ship, commanding the fierce loyalty of their crew and striking fear into the hearts of their enemies. They are more than just a skilled fighter; they embody the spirit of adventure, freedom, and the thrill of the open sea. This subclass focuses on enhancing the leadership, tactical prowess, and seafaring abilities of a character, making them a formidable force on both land and sea.

Captain's Command:

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to inspire and lead your crew during combat. As a bonus action, you can issue a command to your allies within 30 feet. They can use their reaction to either move up to their speed toward a hostile creature that you can see, or make a weapon attack against that creature. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Boarding Specialist:

Pirate Captains are skilled in the art of boarding enemy ships. You gain proficiency with Athletics and Acrobatics skills, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with these skills.

Sea Legs:

At 9th level, you've become so accustomed to the motion of the sea that it no longer hinders your movements. You gain advantage on Dexterity saving throws and ability checks to maintain your balance or footing, even on slippery or unstable surfaces.

Plunderer's Instinct:

Pirate Captains have a keen eye for spotting valuable loot. You gain expertise in the Investigation skill. Additionally, when you search for treasure or valuable items, you can do so at double the normal rate.

Captain's Fury:

At 17th level, your presence and reputation as a fearsome pirate captain strike fear into the hearts of your enemies. As an action, you can unleash your Captain's Fury. For one minute, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on all Charisma-based checks.
• Your attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
• When you use your Sneak Attack, you can roll an additional damage die.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
