![]() Vane 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 Vane that isn’t incapacitated and Vane doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. ![]() On his turn, Vane can use a bonus action to regain 1d10+7 hit points. As long as he is not wearing heavy armor or using a shield, Vane gains a +1 bonus to AC, and he gains both climbing and swimming speeds equal to his speed (included above). Whenever he makes an attack against a creature, he doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks from that creature until the end of his turn.įighting Style: Sealegs. Vane can Dash through difficult terrain without requiring additional movement. ![]() After Vane has heard a creature speak for 1 minute or longer, he can mimic its manner of speaking as long as he knows the same language as the creature (allowing him to seem like he is local to a given region).įeat: Mobility. Vane can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, Help, or Hide action.įast Learner. Vane gains a +1d6 bonus to saving throws and death saves (treating final results of 20 or higher on a death saving throw as a natural 20).Ĭunning Action (1/Turn). Once on his turn, Vane can take an additional action on top of his regular action and a possible bonus action.īrutal Toughness.

Skills Athletics +6, Deception +10, Insight +4, Intimidation +10, Perception +4, Stealth +12 navigator’s tools +6, thieves’ tools +8, vehicles (water) +12īackground: Sailor (Pirate). Let’s look at the numbers! The DMG hit smack dab on 8 and the Blog of Holding at 8.2 placing Vane here comfortably at CR 8.Ĭharles Vane Medium humanoid (human), chaotic evil rogue (mastermind) 5/fighter (brute) 7Īrmor Class 17 (studded leather, sealegs) Plus of course a killer bonus for piloting a ship, and this time the actual pirate background instead of sailor (because obviously by how he eventually got caught, he definitely didn’t have that feature). He’s got great mobility-climbing, swimming, or running around-a solid AC, and can throw down in melee. Ultimately a ship loyal to the British crown stopped there to pick up freshwater, an acquaintance recognized Charles for who he was, and he was taken to Port Royal to begin the process of his trial and execution.ĭesign Notes: Another pirate! This one seemed to be largely about cruelty, being sneaky, and working his crew so he’s got fighter levels with the Brute archetype and Mastermind rogue. Rejoining with Calico Jack Rackham and others, he took at least a dozen ships before a shipwreck left him without a crew on an uncharted island in 1719. After his first capture in 1718 he accepted the King’s Pardon but it was a brief reprieve and within months his criminal doings on the high seas continued. For more than half a decade before that he earned a fearsome reputation as a ruthless and cruel pirate, quickly taking command of small fleets and becoming one of the Republic of Pirates’ leaders in Nassau. Killing Vane is a big part of the tragedy that is Eleanors story, because with Vane she killed the one person that really understood and saw her and loved her anyway.A terror on the waves of the Caribbean, the buccaneer Charles Vane is thought to have been 41 when they finally put him to the noose in Port Royal, Jamaica on March 29th in 1721. After several rewatches these last scenes with Vane and Eleanor really seem just tragic to me, because they really sum up how both of them destroyed each other. That would also mean, that everything Eleanor did in seasom 3 until this point was built on a lie. So she gets very angry, because she doesn't want to believe that her father betrayed her, but also because she knows that its true. Vane is not the kind of person who would bluntly lie to her and she knows it. So he tells her that her father betrayed her, to dishonour her memories and her view of her father. They both know each other so well and I think Vane knows that Eleanor wouldn't forgive him for killing her father. In my interpretation he doesn't just do it to justify his actions before Eleanor, but to also hurt her. What is more interesting is the way both react to this. I think that he did, because that seems like something her father would do.
