I am looking to build a PC for a Skulls & Shackles campaign (using this Alia’s) but I am having some trouble settling on an idea. The only thing set in stone is a human (or human like) pirate type character with a parrot. Please no monster races.

I’ve looked at duettist bard (leaning toward this), but also sanctified slayer inquisitor, nature fang Druid, bonded investigator, beast bonded magus and many others but can’t settle on anything. I enjoy playing versatile classes with spells and skills that will spend time on the front lines. I think this PC will use a whip or perhaps a rapier and if we could get her a firearm that would be a bonus. I usually don’t dip but I am open to any and all ideas.

Also, a big part of my idea is for her to have a parrot familiar named “Silent Rob” (a not so silent) smart mouthed sidekick. Perhaps with the protector archetype but I’ve never had a PC with a familiar before so I am unsure.

Build rules: starting at 5th level,15 point buy, automatic bonus progression, feat at every level, elephant in the room feat tax, and 5000gp to start.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

I am posting from several devices throughout the day and I try to post when I have time. Unfortunately, other party members haven't gotten a chance to post yet and I don't want to step over them.

So created this thread to make my posts and then cut and paste them into the appropriate thread later.

I think it should work.


Our tale unfolds in Severan, the City by the Sea, bordered on the east by the Nedrasi Forest and on the west by the Great Sea. Severan and the surrounding lands are ruled locally by Lord Nellis, known as a fair and just leader by some and as hard, inflexible, and lacking imagination by others. The King's Road, as well as the River Naga, both of which wind through the land, either begin or end here.

You have grown up on the streets of Severan, an orphan with little memory of your early past and no blood relations (as far as you know) to speak of. Your family are the other street kids, your father Pagin of the Shadows. Pagin runs the Thieves' Guild, and uses children and the rest of the underclass as his network of cutpurses and spies, stealing and selling valuables as well as information

Good stats should make a great rogue.
