So, Pirates like 3.5, whereas Ninjas like 4e, right?


No, ninjas like 4E, but pirates like to download copyrighted works without permission.

YARRR!


Actually, Ninjas were first introduced to the game in a Dragon Magazine article in the '80's to supplement 1st edition. They have since been hamfistedly adapted to later editions for power-hungry fanbois.

Pirates go whereever they want.

Pirates don't need a class of their own, anyone* can be a pirate.

*Anyone that is undeniably cool, awesome, badass, swaggering, bloodthirsty, booty-loving, treasure-loving, seafaring, adventurous, and piratey enough, of course.

Pirates like whatever system gives them the biggest haul. Also, if there are no ships in 4th Edition, then pirates say NAR!

I heard ninjas shoplift.


I've heard that only a ninja can kill a ninja, but only a pirate can chain you to an anchor and drop you down a hundred fathoms. Take that, ninja. Yarrr!!!

There is something to the argument of crossing genres.

Pirates can exist in almost any context:

Antiquity
Medieval
Renaissance
Modern
Future
Post-Apocalyptic
Space (Post-fresh water, even)


So if a ninja takes something without asking, does that make them a pirate?


I hate ninjas. And pirates. Pretty much, I hate that debate. The shaman would kill em both, no sweat.

But then again, ninjas can run up walls.

Pirates can't change elevations without a rope, pulley, and a sharp object...

Pirates have guns and can shoot the ninja off the wall.

Thus, another question arises:

What takes precedence, a pirate's uncanny abilitiy to hit even the smallest target with a smooth-bore pistol or a ninja's ability to dodge bullets?

Pirates have cool birds that sit on their shoulders and visit exotic ports enjoying the company of sex crazed women....

(or men for equal rights sakes)

While Ninjas play with themselves in the dark....

Excellent points indeed. And pirates don't have to gut themselves should they not steal something to their clients expectations or standards.

Pirates are generally portrayed as unwashed,rotten-toothed alcoholics with scurvy and syphillus.

Ninjas are clean, quiet and well-mannered.

And yet, who do the chicks go for??

remember the old adage that "it's always the quiet ones that snap in the end" honestly I'd rather date a gal I knew was crazy than one who kills people at night as a past-time without telling anyone about it. At least the first one you know to be afraid of. Besides, the pirate's got gold teeth!

They don't have to, their crew will do it for them.

Bruce Leroy catches 'em with his teeth.


He's not a ninja, he's a dragon. Totally different. :D

He could have trained at the McArtor school.

I dont know...I can think of several pirates that weren't portrayed as missing teeth...or having odd diseases.

Quite different response, in fact: Pirates often gut someone else if they fail to steal. And everyone knows even the criminally insane have no expectations of pirates.

Also Pirates wear very stylish clothing, whereas Ninjas have this strong desire to be unstylish..wearing nothing but black pajamas....

Black pajamas say "I could fight, or I could just lay around!"

Can a ninja even be given vampirism?

Unless of course it was a vampire who decided to become a ninja...but then, everyone knows you don't become a ninja, you simply are.

It's because he's got the moves.

The two dimension thing is what lets the ninjas sneak in through the crack under the door. They need that 2D to do their jobs.

Pirates need a bad accent, a leaky boat, and a high speed internet connection to do their jobs properly.

If by "bad" you mean "awesome enough to scare a ninja away";

If by "leaky" you mean "shoots a 24 cannon broadside at your face from a mile away";

If by "high speed internet connection" you mean "high speed cutlass proficiency";

Then yes, you are correct.
