Traits

Swaggering Brute. Once per turn, when Buttonbeard misses a melee attack, he can shove a creature within 5 feet as a bonus action.

Target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength save or be pushed 5 feet.

Button Beard Armor

Buttonbeard’s beard is woven with enchanted metal buttons that magically deflect attacks.

Each time Buttonbeard is hit by an attack:

  • One button flies off dramatically
  • His AC is reduced by 1 (minimum of 13)

His AC and buttons are restored at the end of a long rest.

Actions

Cutlass. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) [slashing] damage.

Flintlock Pistol. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/90 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 2) [piercing] damage. Reload 1. Action or Bonus action to reload.

Beard Lash. (Recharge 5-6)  Buttonbeard swings his massive button-laden beard in a wide arc. Each creature within 10 feet must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 6(1d8+2) bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a success, a creature takes half damage and is not knocked prone. The DC for this ability is reduced by 1 each time Buttonbeard is hit by an attack (minimum DC 10).

Description

Captain Buttonbeard is a loud, swaggering pirate captain wrapped in layers of salt-stained coats and jangling trinkets, though nothing draws the eye more than his massive beard woven with hundreds of mismatched buttons. The enchanted buttons spin and deflect blows in combat, making him surprisingly difficult to hit. Buttonbeard treats every button like a treasured trophy and becomes increasingly distressed each time one is knocked loose from his beard.
