Scrimshaw - 4 New Classes for Pirate Borg

Winner of Best PC Class in the Cabin Fever Game Jam!

Scrimshaw contains four brand new classes for use in your Pirate Borg campaigns:

• The Angler, a former fisherman turned pirate. Unlike their rowdy compatriots, they have the patience and skill to successfully reel up fish from the inky depths in which they dwell.
• The Coagulant, a horrific nightmare altered by alchemy gone wrong. To survive, they must fuse their body with that of another, subsuming flesh and bone into themselves to once again become whole.
• The Reaper, heavily inspired by DEADBOLT from Hopoo Games, the other game with a drug called ash that comes from the corpses of undead. They are skilled assassins and hunters of the damned.
• The Shipwright, an on-board mechanic to keep boats going through constant wear-and-tear. Their specialized skills let them both repair and modify ships with everything from hull-smashing cannons to wheels.

Usability & Design Sensibilities

The Classes within Scrimshaw are designed to fit right alongside the classes within the core book. This means that each class has a one-word name, and there is a balance of magical and mundane archetypes here. The Base Book for Pirate Borg includes 6 classes, 8 if you include the optional ones. Following in that vain, the Angler and Shipwright could be considered core, as like the base six they're very grounded in the standard pirate/nautical fantasy, while the Coagulant and Reaper are much more uncommon, making them closer to optional classes. To randomly roll for class using this supplement, you can either roll a D8, 7 being the Angler and 8 being the Shipwright, or a full D12 if you want to use all the new classes.

5/31 Update

• Fixed a singular, small typo. Also made the file slightly smaller.

5/28 Update

• Fixed Coagulant's Tough Hyde after I broke it last update.
• Fixed the Repair Orders font on the Shipwright spread.

5/24 Update

• Added an option to include the bleed in the PDF for the submission.
• Overhauled Shipwright marginally
• Fixed all remaining typos and inconsistencies
• Changes are not shown in the screenshots, only in the PDF. In addition, the file size has increased significantly since last version. I got tired of screwing around with Affinity's export options and just exported it with no compression.
