Capt. Strongmaster

Multiattack. The pirate makes 2 attacks, using Maul or Pistol in any combination.

Maul of Vengence +1. Melee Attack Roll: +8, reach 5 ft. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) Bludgeoning damage, and the pirate has Advantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of this turn.

Curse. This weapon is cursed and possessed by a vengeful spirit. Becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the weapon, keeping it on your person at all times. While attuned to this weapon, you have Disadvantage on attack rolls made with weapons other than this one.

In addition, while the weapon is on your person, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw whenever you take damage from another creature in combat. On a failed save, you must attack the creature that damaged you until you drop to 0 Hit Points or it does or until you can’t reach the creature to make a melee attack against it.

You can break the curse in the usual ways. Alternatively, casting Banishment on the weapon forces the vengeful spirit to leave it. The weapon then becomes a +1 Weapon with no other properties.

Pistol. Ranged Attack Roll: +7, range 30/90 ft. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) Piercing damage.

Captain’s Charm. Wisdom Saving Throw: DC 14, one creature the pirate can see within 30 feet. Failure: The target has the Charmed condition until the start of the pirate’s next turn.

Riposte. Trigger: The pirate is hit by a melee attack roll while holding a weapon. Response: The pirate adds 3 to its AC against that attack, possibly causing it to miss. On a miss, the pirate makes one Rapier attack against the triggering creature if within range.
