OK, hoping to get many of these threads completed (depending of course upon their popularity and people's willingness to contribute).
The main aim of these is to get some stats for basic roles in the dnd game. The aim is to gather a choice of seven statblocks for each thread. The first few threads will start out simple and may delve into more obscure themes latter on.
Anything 3.5 goes (inc classes, races, feats, PrCs, etc) and feel to be adventurous, but remember the aim is to make 'generic' stat blocks.
In this first '7 UP' I am looking for low level pirates.
Please feel free to contribute (using the new statblock). I will provide one to get the thread going.

Oh BTW, before people ask 'why would a pirate take that?'...I use a LOT of random rolls to create my NPCs. I don't believe every fighter should have all their stats where they suit. I love characters with unusual stats, skills even feats. If it is usable I put it in. Not every pirate was a pirate their whole life.
And I take little head of the wealth rules too. But if you are a stickler for that go ahead and kee it within the right areas. However I will not be checking it. I have DMed long enough to look over and see if the equipment is cool ;) and within reason.
Join in, have fun, create a pirate.
Connors, do you know Lilith's stack block bank? The address is:
www.dmtools.org
Oh Yeah! I have another thread all about DM tools ;)
I get what you are saying ;) I should just plug these straight into there shouldn't I? :)
Hmmm, and I thought I struck upon a good thread idea ;) However on the DM Tools thread I started, not a lot of people indicated they use the site (though I am sure many do, I think it is awesome).
Is there a need for statblock threads, or would you prefer the stats to go into Lilith's DM tools? (They use the 'new' statblock over there don't they? I will have to check it out again).
