Punishments
Breaking the rules can have many different consequences,
some merely slaps on the wrist, others extremely brutal or
even deadly. There are several common punishments, which
can be utilized at sea.
Extra Work. Perhaps the most utilized punishment is
extra work, usually messy or otherwise unpleasant jobs.
Fines. The quartermaster may demand that the pirate pays
a sum to the common fund.
Flogging. The punished crew member is lashed with a
whip a number of times or hit with a stick or some other blunt
instrument.
Dunking. The pirate is tied to a piece of wood and
repeatedly dropped into the ocean and pulled up.
Clapping in Irons. The pirate is put in chains and kept in
the hold either until the ship is at port and they are thrown out
of the ship, or for a specific period of time. Often
accompanied with poor provisions.
Tying to a Mast. The perpetrator is tied up, often flogged
and then left to sit tied up. The other crew members will often
add their own abuse to the punishment if they agree with it.
Sweating. Also called deck dancing, this is a punishment
enacted by the other crew members. Other crew members cut
and prod the crew member with swords and other sharp
objects while the punished perpetrators legs, neck or hands
are tied to a mast or other object. Sometimes music is played.
Mutilation. The crew member’s ear, nose or finger is
either slit or cut off.
Marooning. The crew member is abandoned to a remote
island, usually with some supplies or a pistol with one bullet.
Throwing Overboard. The punished pirate is either
thrown into the sea or forced to walk a plank blindfolded.
Sometimes a cannonball or something else heavy is tied to the
perpetrator.
Hanging. The pirate is tied to a rope and hung until dead,
either from the hands, legs or from the neck. Since this is a
common punishment for pirates by outsiders, some crews are
reluctant to hang even the vilest rulebreakers among them.
Keelhauling. Perhaps the most brutal method of
execution is keelhauling. The penalized crew member is tied
to a rope which goes under the ship, either from side to side
or from the bow to stem. They are then thrown into the water
and pulled to the other side. Their flesh is lacerated by the
barnacles and other sea growth growing on the hull and they
may drown or get massive head injuries on the way. This is
typically repeated until the condemned crew member is dead.

More Pirates!
The base game and its supplements contain many useful
nonplayer characters for pirate themed campaigns or
adventures. The following nonplayer characters from the base
game can be useful.
Bandits can be used as pirates but for higher level
adventures, they can be as cannon fodder to give a feel of
massed ship-to-ship combat. Thugs can be used similarly.
Bandit captains can be used as pirate captains for small or
low-level ships or as officers or ship’s mates. Veterans can
also be used for more experienced crew members.
Priests, cult fanatics, acolytes and druids can be used as
ship’s chaplains or magical chirurgeons.
For the rum-crazed pirates, use berserkers or gladiators.
For a sneakier boarding party pirate, use spies or even
assassins.
Since pirates are often a very diverse bunch, hobgoblins,
gnolls, lizardfolk, orcs and all other sorts of monstrous races
are certainly not out of place. Consider making a lizardfolk
pirate captain, for example.
Finally, ravens can be reskinned as parrots, if you need
one on your shoulder.

on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised.
Regeneration. Redring regains 1d6 hit points every 10 minutes. If

but 3 ft. of wood or dirt, 2 ft. of stone, 2 inches of metal, or a thin
sheet of lead blocks it. While the target is in range, Redring can
continue reading its thoughts, as long as Redring 's concentration
