Fighter: Corsair
With a blade in one hand a gun in the other, the corsair lives
and breathes their unique combination of footwork and
weaponry to strike at the heart of their enemies. The first
corsair's learned their techniques working the decks of
Sanctum's largest ships, however their skills have become
widely adopted, particularly by scoundrel types who seek
practicality and adaptability in their fighting style.
Corsairs can be found in every corner of the world, from
bustling streets to shifting sands and every environment in
between. They thrive in chaos, always bringing a tool for the
job and adapting to unpredictable encounters.

Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this martial archetype at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency in firearms, navigator's tools, cartography tools,
and water vehicles. If you already have any of these
proficiencies, you can choose another artisan's tools and gain
proficiency in that instead.
Art of the Corsair
Beginning at 3rd level, when you make an attack with a one
handed light melee weapon on your turn, you can use a
bonus action to attack with a light ranged weapon you are
holding in your other hand. You don't add your ability modifier
to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is
negative or you have the two weapon fighting fighting style.
When you fire a weapon with the ammunition property this
way, you can reload the weapon using the hand holding your
light melee weapon as part of the attack.
In addition, when you make a weapon attack on your turn,
you can use up to 5 feet of your movement immediately after
the attack without provoking opportunity attacks.
Striker's Finesse
Also at 3rd level, when you use your Art of the Corsair feature
successfully hit with a one handed light melee weapon during
the same turn, you can choose to open the target up for a
deadly flourish. If the ranged weapon attack is a hit, the
attack is a critical hit.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Dexterity modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Boarding Procedures
Starting at 7th level, you have learned to shift your body
better. Your nimbleness also causes you to gain proficiency in
Dexterity saving throws.
In addition, you gain a climbing speed and swimming
speed equal to your walking speed.
Flawless Footwork
Once you reach 10th level, you learn to steady your
footwork and never miss a beat.
You're unaffected by difficult terrain
and spells and other magical
effects cannot reduce your speed while
you aren't incapacitated. You have advantage
on saving throws against effects that would knock you
prone.
Masterful Evasion
At 15th level, when a creature enters within 5 feet
of you, you can use your reaction to immediately
move up to half your speed without provoking opportunity
attacks.
Captain's Edge
Finally, at 18th level you have mastered your swashbuckling
abilities. When you miss with a melee or ranged weapon
attack, your next weapon attack on the same turn
of the other type is made with advantage.
