12-04-03, 01:07 AM I've decided to start running a 1700's style pirate/swashbuckling campaign, but there really just isn't alot of info for it in Dnd books. I know there is a prestige class for pirates in one of the class books and I believe there was a book put out involving ships and seafaring combat, etc. I was looking for the name of that book and any useful links or books for Naval Combat and Pirate/Seafaring jargin. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

12-04-03, 05:32 AM Well... I don't know about third edition, but in 2nd Edition there was "Pirates of the Sea of Fallen Stars", a more or less world specific book on pirates in the forgotten realms, but it was mostly fluff and ideas for adventures. They also had "Of Ships and the Sea" a rules expansion that dealt with maritime combat, effects of underwater fighting and handling ship-to-ship boarding, etc.

12-04-03, 10:04 AM Try the Seafarers Handbook, from Fantasy Flight Games.

It has: Feats, new skill uses, spells, magic items, a few monsters, campaign advice, ships, and naval combat. Its a good book IMO.

You might also try the Seas of Blood. Same type of book, different company (don't remember the name...). Though with more impressive ships (very big!).

12-04-03, 10:18 AM Swashbuckling Adventures, by AEG, is a D20 adapation of their 7th Sea setting, a low-magic pseudo-Age of Sail setting. It's neat, but it doesn't gel very will with D&D materials.
