You may want to check out the defence bonus variant, as seen in Unearthed Arcana.

Complete Warrior has the Swashbuckler base class, Complete Adventurer has a "Dread Pirate" presitge class (I'm still waiting for a group with a Dread Pirate, a Duelist, and a Hulking Hurler :P) Plus there's the entirety of the book Stormwrack, which was designed to facilitate adventures on the high seas.

Of course, Stormwrack would be useful for the boat and sea environnement.

Somebody (I think it's Sword & Sorcery) has a book called "Dead Man's Chest" that's all about D20 Pirate stuff.

Additionally, Green Ronin's "Skull & Bones" is a pirate based D20 game.


Both are excellent.

Lacedon's are fun but don't forget the Lizardfolk(either MM ones or the MM 3 Poison Dusk ones) - that hold breath ability could be nasty. And the Sahuagin are not called sea devils for nothing.

There is also a sourcebook called Pirates of the Fallen Stars

There is also a pirate-speak website.

Conjugation of the verb "to be": I be, you be, she be, we be, they be, etc.

Arrrgh!

Yeah, that's good stuff too. Just OOOZZEESS flavor!!!

Careful though, it's a tough high-powered (lots of free powerful Feats with Classes, etc).

You must be EXTREMELY careful with this book... some of the feats are just insanely unbalanced. It's meant to be a low or no magic world, so it makes up for that in class abilities and feats.

Stormwrack is a good book for all the sea based mechanics, but not neccessarily the pirate flavor.
