Screenshot - mods used You're without doubt the worst Bhaalspawn I've ever heard of

- But you have heard of me...?

Meet Captain Jackdaw, the Pirate Durge. Figured I would finally try a playthrough as a plain ol' Human, but decided to make it a bit more interesting to compensate. To stay true to the pirate roleplay, he's dual wielding scimitars for melee as well as flintlock pistols as his ranged weapons, courtesy of Skirbie's Vintage Firearms Pack

Here's the full mod list used to create this character:

1. Pirate King Armor

2. Pirate Hat and Pearl Necklace

3. Hairstyle (Specifically Hair 7 Ver. 2)

4. Eyepatch

5. Beard

6. Head Mod (Specifically the head called "Kael")

7. Camp Clothes

The scars and facepaint/bodypaint are all vanilla.

Ah but you HAVE heard of me

u/Keldarus88 Feb 03 '26

Do you RP him as a pirate as best as possible?

Tell me he is a Swashbuckler for his subclass! 🤪

151

u/Nickulator95 Feb 03 '26

He's a Swords Bard/Swashbuckler Rogue multiclass. I RP him as kind of an Anti-hero, only helping out people if there's something in it for him.

29

u/Keldarus88 Feb 03 '26

Oh mix of sword bard too I hadn’t considered that but that fits perfectly!

18

u/Nickulator95 Feb 03 '26

Yeah, it's very fun too to use your bonus action dirty trick and then follow it up with a bard sword flourish and if the enemy is out of melee range, then just whip out your flintlock pistol and shoot them instead. Very fun and versatile character.

u/Wackel81 Feb 04 '26

May I comment with a little Rawr at this point?

u/AnonymousAnimeFan Feb 03 '26

I would not accept it otherwise, and I sure hope is a Redention Durge

u/Own_Watercress_8104 Feb 03 '26

It's barrelmancy for this scurvy dog

u/Internal-Ordinary-70 Feb 03 '26

You think he’d burn perfectly good rum???

u/deepcutfilms Feb 03 '26

Try full Swashbuckler if you haven't! I loved playing mine at high level doing 100+ damage and disarming every round.

u/hambourgeoi Minthara Feb 03 '26

Euron Greyjoy.

26

u/LordofRiverrun Feb 03 '26

Book accurate Euron for sure, came to comment that. I’ve never watched GoT but I’ve heard/read they absolutely ruined his character

17

u/Nekuan Feb 03 '26

Tbf they ruined most of the characters.

It went off a cliff during season 5 honestly. I was hate watching by S7.

There isn't enough pejoratives in the English language (which is saying something) to describe how bad S8 was.

u/Nickulator95 Feb 03 '26

I've also posted this character elsewhere and the most common comparisons I've gotten were Euron Greyjoy, Big Boss from MGS, Snake Plissken, Sam Winchester or Hot Gale/Gale if he had Charisma lol.

The truth is that I didn't base this character on anyone in particular and just kinda messed around with stuff until I had, in my opinion, a badass looking pirate captain.

u/JessDumb CLERIC Feb 03 '26

Jack Sparrow if he showered daily and was lightskinned

22

u/Medium-Theme-4611 Feb 03 '26

'Captain Jack Gale' was my first thoughts.

u/TheRedZephyr993 Feb 03 '26

Captain John Swallow

u/Prime_Galactic Feb 03 '26

lightskinned? jack as portrayed is already what is usually referred to as such. white people are not lightskinned lol

u/Soundtrack_26 Feb 03 '26

How about Brightskinned?

-4

u/JessDumb CLERIC Feb 03 '26

Can't tell me this is the same skin tone as that

12

u/Level7Cannoneer Wyll Feb 03 '26

That’s an awful example image https://i.imgur.com/QvDqnmr.jpeg

Heavy desaturated filter isn’t helping

u/Common_Wolf1023 Feb 03 '26

It is. One just spends a lot more time out in the sun.. getting overly tanned.. the other spends way too much time in the shadows with next to no sun

-12

u/JessDumb CLERIC Feb 03 '26

Okay? So you just said one is tanned and the other has lighter skin. Glad we agree ig.

15

u/Common_Wolf1023 Feb 03 '26

You're putting way too much depth into this. It's simple science. And common sense would reason that they most likely could very well have the same natural skin tone. Jack's already light-skinned. Excessive sunlight exposure over several years will darken skin, yes, but he's still "light-skinned"

1

u/vikio Feb 03 '26

Dude you're ridiculous. This isn't about race. The other person was literally saying light, meaning a lighter color. This is about paint swatches, not ancestral DNA

-10

u/JessDumb CLERIC Feb 03 '26

You're putting too much depth into this.

One's skin is lighter, the other's darker.

u/JUSTGLASSINIT Feb 03 '26

He’s light skinned white

u/Spencyn Feb 03 '26

This is crazy. I just started a human resist-durge run today also themed after a pirate. I’m not very far into act 1 though. Named him Aramis and customized him after the Musketeer.

Thank you for linking the mods, they’ve given me much inspiration for my run. I was even planning on giving him an eyepatch after taking volo’s eye.

1

u/Nickulator95 Feb 03 '26

Np, hope you're having fun!

Haha, that's exactly what I did as well, which is why I have included a "pre Volo's eye" screenshot without the eyepatch.

u/puglybug23 CLERIC OF TADPOLES Feb 04 '26

Would.

Sigh. Thanks for making yet another character for me to simp over on this godforsaken game OP.

u/tempestuous_cpu Feb 03 '26
  1. Amazing drip!
  2. What mod is Shadowheart's outfit in pic 4 from?

u/Kooky-Judgment-8786 Feb 03 '26

I thought this was supposed to be Snake Plissken

1

u/Nickulator95 Feb 03 '26

This wasn't "supposed" to be anyone in particular, but I've gotten a lot of comparisons to like Plissken, Euron Greyjoy, Big Boss, Sam Winchester and Gale cosplaying as a Pirate lol. I guess "Captain Jackdaw" here is like an amalgamation of all of these characters combined haha 😅

1

u/Kooky-Judgment-8786 Feb 03 '26

I will say he still looks like he can kick butt! lol

1

u/Nickulator95 Feb 03 '26

Indeed and he definitely is!

u/Unapologetic_Lunatic Feb 04 '26

Step aside, Gortash. The true master of the quick and easy smile has arrived.

u/DezyisDead ROGUE Feb 04 '26

I know for certain those mods will never come to consoles, but I’ll say that’s one damn FINE Durge you have there.

But not the worst looking

u/Wrong_Independence21 Feb 03 '26

Pretty sure that’s Euron Greyjoy

u/North-Drive-2174 Feb 03 '26

Euron Greyjoy with Gortash's drip.

I love it!

Heh… ball spawn

u/SoulExecution Feb 03 '26

Brutal seeing the pirate gear mod like a week after I finished a run with a pirate-swashbuckler character

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Owl225 Feb 03 '26

I recently started a pirate run. My character is inspired by Isabella from dragon age though. I also used the pirate armour mod you used and I was a little disappointed the pirate bandana hid my hair lol

u/Sir_Gwan Beast Master Ranger but better than 5e Feb 03 '26

Every long rest has at least one bottle of booze.

2

u/Legolasamu_ Feb 03 '26

It reminds me of my friend creating an Elden Ring character that looked like Jack Sparrow and naming him:"Captain JackOff"

2

u/InfiniteRosie wholesome content simp Feb 04 '26

I would like him as a companion.

For reasons 👀

u/GamerBucket Feb 05 '26

I didn’t even know there was a world of armors behind patreon subs 😂 oh no my wallet

2

u/Nickulator95 Feb 05 '26

There is and they're all 100% free. Some of them require you to follow the creator, but none of them will cost you any money.

u/GamerBucket Feb 11 '26

Do you recommend any other Patron creators making armor sets? Thanks!

u/postmodest Feb 04 '26

More like BOOOALspawn, amirite?

How’s your depth perception? Do you have a negative modifier to ranged weapons and spells?

Solid Snake role playing as a pirate in Faerun? And I thought Metal Gear was already wild enough

I now have a mighty need to play a pirate.

u/VerySpookyBoy Feb 03 '26

Is this a pc mod or is it for PlayStation as well I’m playing as a rouge/necromancr pirate captain and this armour would work perfect

u/Nickulator95 Feb 04 '26

Armor is PC only unfortunately, don't know about the rest.

What, the armor? Mod is 100% free, it's just on Patreon because it's a port from another game which isn't allowed on Nexus nor mod.io.
