Pirate Lord

The pirates ship crashed into the Dragonfly with enough force and sent both crews into the air. The young nobleman, pulled his rapier and jumped several feet above the water. He landed amidst the pirates who massed on the edges of their ship. The man was followed by the expert pirate hunting crew. The battle had been enjoined!

As the battle raged, the pirates slowly were being pushed back. The young nobleman noticed one of the pirates had mounted a rope and swung down on them. He barely avoided his head being cut off clean by the madman’s cutlass. With a twirl on his heel, he turned to face his enemy. An enemy – garbed in his blood-red coat – was the scourge of the seas: the dreaded pirate lord.

As their blades clashed, fear clasped its grip on the young man’s heart.

Goal

Everything’s better with Pirates. This is just a law of reality. Turns out the Scarlet Corsair is an extremely good PrC. You can Feint to add sneak attacks, and you can reduce your Sneak Attack(which is almost as high as a monoclass rogue) to automatically apply the shaken condition on enemies you hit. Add all your intimidating feats and you are an incredible intimidancer.
