Best 10 Prestige Points spent on a vanity item EVER!

[olePigeon]

Last night I had a blast, both figuratively and literally, at my local PFS gaming session.

My first character that I've made for PFS is an Andoran Gunslinger Privateer, and the very first thing I bought with Prestige Points was the ship for 10 pp. I got a lot of questions and remarks about why I'd spend so much for a +2 to Profession Sailor, and, oh, you'll never get to use it, and if you do, you save a whopping 10GP over just buying a boat... yadda, yadda, yadda.

Hey, she's a pirate, she needs a pirate ship. You can't be a Captain without a ship, much less a pirvateer. All there is to it.

So last night we played Part II of The Quest for Perfection: On Hostile Waters.

Open seas combat? Check.
Portuguese Man o' War with 20 cannon and a crew of 80? Check.
Insanely high Profession Sailor for maneuvering? Check.

Raise the colors! Man the cannons! Ship to starboard! FIRE! KABOOM! :D

60d6 damage on the 2nd round, tacked the ship, 60d6 damage the 4th round, aaand it was over. :D

Everyone at the table was rolling D20s and damage. Had a blast!

Oh wow, yes I concur with your assertion that a ship is the best way to blow 10pp.

I did the same for no other reason than to say that barbarian diplomacy dwarf who has trained in linguistics at every level has a boat.

Last night he, too, finally got to use his circumstantial bonus on sailing, and while he rolled a 1 for his check, he was still epic.

Also, every time the VC tells you to take the boat they've provided, you can counter with taking your own boat, possibly much to their annoyance.

Glad to know someone else thinks that boat is boss. Go for you for using it successfully.
