Just wondering if anybody's had the experience to plays as a Windwright captain as either a PC or NPC. I get the feeling its a better prestige class for NPCs, but I could be wrong.

Input and opinions would be wonderful!

Thanks so much!

He plans to maybe run a new one (different concept but aims for this PrC) in the next campaing we'll start.

Thanks for your input too, Label. Sounds like its something that is mainly an NPC prc. But that if a player picks it up, it can be very fun nonetheless.
