Description

Half-elf bard 4

lute, other treasure) Officers are the captain’s most trusted mates, individuals who see to it that their leader’s orders are obeyed and ensure the ship’s safety and autonomy. Many officers are either bards or fighters, though any seasoned buccaneer who gains the captain’s trust may take on such a role. Dealing directly with grievances, identifying troublemakers, meting out punishments, and advising the captain are all part of a pirate officer’s daily duties.
