Pirate Campaign Compendium

Set Sail for Adventure!

From the jeweled islands of the tropics to the ice-choked polar seas and everywhere across the bottomless briny blue, the Pirate Campaign Compendium from Legendary Games offers over 500 pages of amazing expansions for any nautical campaign. This beautiful book is perfect for embarking on an epic journey of exploration, a harrowing journey to a far-distant land, or a full-on pirate campaign of plunder and pillage! The oceans offer infinite possibilities for adventure beyond the horizon or beneath the waves, and it is small wonder that nearly every coastal culture has tales of golden voyages in search of fortune and glory, daring the mystery that reaches off the edge of the map to the place where all that anyone knows is Here There Be Monsters!

The Pirate Campaign Compendium brings you an incredible collection of rules for nautical characters of every kind, with nearly 70 archetypes, class features, feats, and traits, from the pearl knight paladin and privateer ranger to the sargasso siren kineticist and boarder cavalier, plus feats like Eel Strike, Hoist the Colors, Naval Commander, and Cetacean Smash! Maritime magic is here in plenty as well, with nearly 50 spells and almost 60 magic items drawn from traditional Caribbean pirate lore but also from the distant corners of the fantasy world, from Arabia to the Arctic, to the Far East and South Pacific! Pair your captain’s cutlass with a cannonball breastplate or unleash a marid’s curse in your aba of fair winds, with treasures and enchantments enough to delight the scurviest seadog that ever followed a treasure map!

You’ll find challenges aplenty within these pages with five complete pirate adventures for characters from 4th to 14th level! Plus, you can enhance your own aquatic adventures with over 40 savage sea monsters from CR 1 to CR 25, with friendly merfolk and seaweed leshies to the star-spawn of Cthluhu! Nautical campaigns have more than monsters, of course, and you’ll also find a spectacular assortment of cutthroats and crew for every level. Over 80 incredible NPC stat blocks include common pirates and officers of the line, as well as richly detailed and evocative heroes and villains ideal as recurring characters and playable pirate PCs!

In addition to traditional adventuring, the Pirate Campaign Compendium contains incredible resources for running a pirate-themed campaign, with simple and advanced ship-to-ship combat rules, a dynamic and exciting fleet battle system for running major naval engagements, and modular rules for shipbuilding and special modifications, so you can be as detailed as you like. You’ll also find tons of bonus material for navigation and storms at sea, fame and infamy, aquatic and underwater terrain, a complete plunder system, and all manner of nautical details like shipboard roles, punishments, grog, seasickness, sea shanties, a pirate glossary, and even peg legs and eyepatches!
