Subclass Features
Spellcasting
WIS is your spellcasting ability for your Pirate spells. Your magic comes from intense worship and faith in Calypso. You use your WIS whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your WIS modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Pirate spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your WIS modifier
Spell attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your WIS modifier
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the Pirate spells you know with another spell of your choice from your Pirate spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Pirate Spells
Companion of the Sea
You are given a faithful companion. You can cast the spell Find Familiar without expending a spell slot once per long rest and you learn the spell with it not counting towards the number of spells you can know.
Your familiar can take the following forms and can use the attack action on its turn acting on your turn of initiative.
Giant Crab, Giant Sea Horse, Reef Shark
Calypso’s Blessing
Under the protection of the goddess you have the following benefits. You have a Swim speed equal to your movement speed and can breathe underwater.
Rest at Sea
While you are out at sea in the very center of power of your goddess you can recover one spell slot equal to or less than half your WIS modifier (Minimum 1) rounded down during the course of a short rest. You can use this feature once every 24 hours.
Calypso’s Protection
While you are surrounded by at least 5 ft of water you gain the benefit of Half Cover as the domain of Calypso protects you. Water within 30 ft of you is considered Difficult Terrain to creatures you choose as the goddess’s protection undermines the efforts of others to harm you.
Sea’s Transformation
You can cast a limited version of the spell Polymorph on yourself taking the form of one of the following creatures without expending a spell slot
Chuul, Giant Shark, or Water Elemental.
You can use this feature once per long rest.
Call the Barbaric Serpent
Your faith calls to the forbidden briney deep and the legendary mount of the goddess Calypso, the Barbaric Serpent. As an action you summon The Barbaric Serpent’s endless coils seem to stretch forever as its rainbow scales glisten with sea water. It remains for one hour or until you dismiss it as a free action, vanishing with a pop and leaving a damp spot of seawater. The Barbaric Serpent appears in an unoccupied space within 30 ft of you and acts after your turn of initiative and is friendly to you and creatures of your choice.
If you become Unconscious the Barbaric Sea Serpent does its best to protect you, otherwise it takes actions as directed by you as long as they are not obviously dangerous such as slithering through Fire. The Barbaric Serpent uses the stat block of an Ancient Sea Serpent that does not have legendary actions or legendary resistances.
You can use this feature once per long rest.
