Hopefully I'll be trying him out next Friday, the next time our Skull and Shackles group plays...
In the campaign we use 2d6+6 for ability scores, commonplace guns (flintlocks only), hero points, all 'pirate' feats open for all characters (Corsair of Taldor becomes 'Corsair' etc.)so this is pretty much to see how it stacks up against the characters in the party.

You should see the rest of the characters...
Hence checking balance against the rest of the group...
And it's 43 points btw...
And as a comparison, the current GM built party Fighter, allowing a fairly amateur player to be a badass swashbuckling pirate. 40 point equivalent:

Extra feat is due to the fact that we don't use AoO's due to group size, so Mobility is rendered kind of useless...
AND the Tidewater was restatted into a Scimitar due to GM fiat (basically both he and I were too lazy to clone dervish dance and change it to work with another weapon when all we had to do was bootstrap scimitar to the tidewater rather than cutlass)
We run into LOTS of mooks of nearly equal level and name NPC's tend to have at least 1 Mythic Tier... Life gets interesting, and fairly nearly fatal in a hurry for this crew, we usually survive by the skin of our teeth, with half the party blowing hero points JUST to stay alive.

GM and players wanted "heroic" so we used 2d6+6, which pushes the average roll up to 12-14 rather than 9-11, the ability scores got nuts quickly.
Also Herolab's die roller (where I generated the ability scores) may be broken, I managed 3 17's and a 15 when building my Way of the Wicked PC for the game my wife runs, which ability scores are generated by "pick one 18 and one 8, generate the rest of your scores using 1d10+7"
So yes, use my 'dice' all you like :D But we may require Dice from here on out for ability scores anyway...
