Pirate

Pirate (1.3) Adventurer Class

Pirates can come from any culture, and sail the seas of the world. From the Jotun controlled North, to the Vanguardian South. Even Dwarves and Elves have been known to be pirates on occasion.

Playing the Pirate

The pirate is one of the most specialized character classes in the Dawn Lands LARP game. Although they are fairly component in combat in most places they really stand out when they are on a River or Ocean. You get to choose from a specialized but powerful selection of weapons. You cannot wear armor but your special abilities make up for this to a large degree.
