 Pirate crews, while generally having set jobs, often rely more on the ability of their crews to perform multiple jobs. Since they often do not visit port for weeks or months at a time, the ability of the crew to pull shifts on each others jobs or to take over for a wounded or dead crew member is necessary. Besides this fact, most crew members share the same skills as a regular military navy officer, though how they have acquired them may vary widely, since there is no pirate academy. Skills directly relating to their position on the ship is vital, and most have some underhanded skills under the 'Rogue' Type, as well as various other unrelated skills that could come in handy in a pinch, anything from cooking to demolitions is conceivably useful. Pirate crews, while generally having set jobs, often rely more on the ability of their crews to perform multiple jobs.
