In the Skull & Shackles Adventure Path, the PCs take on the role of pirates, but they must make a name for themselves in piracy, plunder, and disrepute to truly become infamous Free Captains of the Shackles. The most important thing to keep in mind when creating your character is that piracy plays a significant role in this Adventure Path—your character should want to become a pirate, or at least not be opposed to the idea. This guide offers some tips about the types of characters that will be best suited for adventuring in the Shackles, as well as campaign traits to f lesh out those characters' backgrounds. Finally, it provides rules for ship-to-ship combat (including sample ships) that will play a major role in the Skull & Shackles Adventure Path as the PCs captain their own ship in search of plunder and infamy!
Welcome to the Skull and Shackles Adventure Path (S&S). This area is for our random chatter and welcome to the game. I've sent out private invites to folks, so if you got that invite and you want to join just chatter away over a mug of rum and start talking characters.
Watch for a resource thread that will have book information and other optional rules I'll be using with the game. A must have is the Player's Guide, found in the Imperial Library or right from Paizo for free.
