Corsairs are masters of the sea, those who have tamed the great ocean and have learned to navigate its dangerous waters. They have trained, worked and lived on the sea, leaning how to manipulate a ship and explore the open ocean. In order to purchase levels in the Prestige Class Corsair, you must meet the following requirements.
- Must own a Ship
- Must have Master in any Skill to obtain level one and two
- Must have Exalted in any Skill to obtain level three and four
Level One
50 Solars to purchase level one
Sea Captain:
The Corsair has begun to earn a reputation, making a name for themselves on the high seas. Your adventures on the ocean have earned you the title of captain, making those both on the sea and in ports recognize you and your accomplishments. As a sea captain you can begin to alter your ship, upgrading it with tools and weapons to assist you while sailing. You may choose two of the attachments from the Ship Add On Table to equip to your ship.
Ship Add On Table
| -Reinforced Bow- The front of the ship gets reinforced with a sheet of metal, normally lightweight as to not reduce sailing speed. This will make the front of the ship stronger, protecting it from debris or even other ships. The front of the ship can now sustain more damage without being destroyed and can be used to navigate shallow or dangerous waters as well. |
| -Reinforced Figure Head- A reinforced figure head gets mounted to the front of the ship in any design you choose. This figure head gets safely fastened to the ship and is supported by pieces of metal, locking it into place. In addition to the figure head looking nice, it also can be used as a weapon, allowing the ship to run into other ships, punching holes in their hulls. |
| -Reinforced Hull- You line the sides of the ship with thin sheets of metal and reinforce the sides of the ship, allowing them to take reduced damage. This will prevent debris in the water or the bottom of the water from tearing holes in the ship and will cause cannons to do reduced damage to the hull, letting you take more fire than normal. |
| -Cannon Set- You purchase a set of cannons that come with four large steel barrels. Two of the four cannons get mounted on either side of your ship, allowing you to fire twice on each side. The cannons deliver devastating damage to other ships and structures, but take several minutes to reload. (Can choose once for a Brigantine or twice for a Galleon, giving it eight cannons) |
| -Grappling Hook- You get a set of two grappling hook guns mounted to your ship, one on the bow pointing forward and one on the stern pointing backwards. These guns can be fired, launching a grappling hook out at quick speeds. These hooks can be used to hook another ship, letting you board her, or can hook an island or structure, letting you anchor yourself. These hooks can also deal damage if they strike a person. |
| -Flame Cannon- You get a set of two small cannons, one mounted on either side of the ship. These cannons are filled with oil, and when ignited can be used to spew flames out of the cannon much like a flame thrower. These flames come out in a quick, short burst, and does not last long. It does however deal a massive amount of damage in a short moment of time. |
| -Hunter Cannons- You get a set of two cannons mounted to the front of your ship, pointing out over the bow. These are smaller, lighter and quicker to reload than normal cannons, but deal less damage as well. They are used for chasing down another ship or attacking enemies directly in front of you. |
-Chaser Cannons- You get a set of two cannons mounted to the back of your ship, pointing out over the stern. These are smaller, lighter and quicker to reload than normal cannons, but deal less damage as well. They are used for protecting your self when fleeing and allow you to deal damage to other ships or enemies who are behind you. |
| -Explosive Barrels- You gain access to two large explosive barrels, filled with nothing but black powder. This barrels have a long wax wick attached to the top, which can be ignited or lit. When the flame reaches the barrel, it will cause it to explode, creating a massive range of fire and damage. These can also be thrown in the water to be used defensively, exploding when hitting another ship or object. |
| -Loading Bridge- A series of modifications made to a ship that make it a terror in close combat. If a ship can get within close range of another vessel, they can use the bridge to lock the ships together. The bridge is fifty feet long and will bore into the enemy vessel, making it very difficult to remove. The assault bridge is typically covered to protect boarding parties from the elements and small arms fire while crossing. |
Sea Legs:
You have spent many days and nights living on your ship, training you to move about the ship without any hinderance. As long as you are on a ship, you can move across that ship without be knocked over or forcibly moved. You can climb the rigging, moveout through out the ship and even fight without having to worry about getting knocked down. Spells and effects that would attempt to knock you down or reduce your movement speed while on a ship will be ignored, unable to affect you.
Sea Caller:
The Corsair has spent most of their time on the sea, watching how it flows and learning the dynamics of the powerful ocean. Not only have you learned how to navigate your boat through any kind of water, but you have also learned the nature of the sea, almost forming a bond with the very water itself. While on your own ship you now are able to call the seas, manipulating the flow of water. You can choose to push the water around your ship, increase or decrease a current and even alter the direction of the flow of water. This allows captains to sail their ships without any hinderance or the risk of calming.

Trained Crew:
As a captain of a ship, the corsair has begun to hire ship mates and deck hands to help operate the day to day life of the ship. While you have a small crew of deck hands, carpenters, sailors and other effective crew members, none of these have any experience in combat, fleeing at the sign of danger. However you have now hired a single crew member with combat abilities, able to fight and defend themselves against enemies.

Flintlock Pistol | The firearm is an upgraded version of the crossbow utilizing black powder. The flintlock is a single use wooden item with black powder and a small metal item. When fired the black powder will send out a small spark, causing force to launch the metal object outwards much like a crossbow bolt.

Double Barrel Flintlock | The double barrel is just a normal flintlock with two barrels instead of one. This has two pockets of black powder and two metal objects, allowing the sailor to fire twice.

Musket Rifle | The Musket is a long range weapon much like the long bow. It is a single fire black powder weapon that has a range and speed equal to the long bow. This item works just like the flint lock, firing a small metal projectile after igniting black powder.

| Blunderbuss | The blunderbuss is a shorter range weapon with a small range than the musketoon. However it has a wider spread, firing four metal objects with one blast instead of one. This allows a single shot to spread out four items, hitting multiple targets. It is a very heavy object however, requiring two hands to wield and being very cumbersome.
