Special Traits

• Dead Shot. The buccaneer does an extra die of damage with pistols (included in its attack).
• Drunken master. The rum-runner is proficient with improvised weapons and unarmed strikes and it rolls a d6 in place of the normal damage of unarmed strikes. When the rum-runner uses the Attack action with an unarmed strike or improvised weapon, it can make one unarmed strike or a grapple as a bonus action.
• Great Fortitude. If the rum-runner has 20 or less hit points remaining, it has advantage on all attack rolls.
• Reckless. At the start of its turn, the rum-runner can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls it makes during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.
• Sneak Attack. Once per turn, the rum-runner deals an extra 10 (3d6) damage when he hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the rum-runner that isn’t incapacitated and the rum-runner doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
• Special Gear. Pet monkey (named Mrs. Kiki), potion of greater healing, silver tankard (worth 20 gp), wineskin of grog, bottle of rum, hip flask of whiskey.
• Sure Grip. The rum-runner wields its maul in one hand and its pistol in the other without disadvantage.
• Unarmored Defense. When not wearing any armor and not wielding a shield, the rum- runner’s Armor Class equals 10 + its Dexterity Modifier + its Constitution Modifier.

About

A rum-runner is a free-booting smuggler and ruthless raider whose roaring rages send its enemies flying and its crew into a frenzy. Its drunken debauchery is legendary, as is the savagery of its wrath against anyone who gets in its way. He may put on a pleasant face when dealing with authorities and merchants, but its foul temper is never far behind.
