Hit: 5 (1d4+3) piercing damage.  Reactions Parry. The captain adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the captain must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

In addition to managing a crew of selfish malcontents, the Pirate Captain is a variation of the Bandit Captain, with a ship to protect and command. To keep the crew in line, the captain must mete out rewards and punishment on a regular basis.

More than treasure, a bandit captain or pirate captain craves infamy. A prisoner who appeals to the captain's vanity or ego is more likely to be treated fairly than a prisoner who does not or claims not to know anything of the captain's colorful reputation. ^{[SRD5 OGL/CC-BY]}
