Special Abilities

Maniacal Narcissist: Pirate Princes are extremely proud and willing to sacrifice everything in their pursuits. Upon character creation, the Heretic must choose Ballistic Skill, Weapon Skill, or Operate (any one) as his speciality. After spending an Infamy Point to gain a +10 bonus on a Test that involves this speciality, but before any additional dice are rolled, he gains an additional +10 on the Test. However, if he fails the Test, he must pass a Hard (–20) Willpower Test or attempt the Test again (if able). If unable to successfully complete the failed Test, the humiliated Pirate Prince suffers a –10 Willpower penalty until he is able to successfully complete that task (or the end of the session).

Creatures of Comfort: Pirate Princes thrive in lavish and opulent comfort, and few can endure being separated from this lifestyle for long. Pirate Princes gain one additional Degree of Success when attempting to acquire goods or services of Good Craftsmanship or better but suffer a –10 Penalty to any Tests made using Poor Craftsmanship goods or services. Also, a Pirate Prince may use his own Voidship instead of acquiring the services of a transport, and receives a +10 Bonus to all Operate (Voidship) Tests while on his ship’s bridge. The capabilities of this vessel are reserved for the GM’s discretion; however, GMs should always remember that the vessel is the property of a formidable raider.
