  BRIMLING
  Drifting from star to star on great space 
  galleons reminiscent of the seafaring vessels of 
  old are the merry scoundrels known across the 
  galaxy as the Brimlings. Standing half the height 
  of a human, with cherubic features and child-like 
  faces, these motley-clad swashbucklers are some of 
  the most unique pirates to ever ply the countless stars.
  Legends say they are descended from an ancient race 
  of hill-dwelling farmers, but Brimlings claim they have 
  feasted among the stars for eternity. Traveling aboard 
  their exotic Star Galleons with quixotic crews, they are 
  quite different from other marauders who bring chaos to 
  the universe. Their archaic ships are beautiful and lush, kept so 
  by their ceaseless raiding on any vessel they can lay their ion grapplers upon. 
  They are not lead by a captain, instead being led by the Ship’s Cook. It is fine 
  beer and hearty food that the Brimlings seek above hoarded gold and credits. 
  As Brimlings say: “He who feeds me, leads me.”
  So fine are the tables laid out by a Brimling crew fresh from a successful raid 
  that many captives taken often turn pirate themselves, if only for a life of 
  endless wandering and a full belly. Dressed in floppy hats and foppish raiment, 
  Brimlings endlessly move from star system to star system, starship to starship, 
  always hungry for fine meals and new adventure.
  Brimlings may advance to 7th level.

  BRIMLING CLASS FEATURES
  WEAPON/ARMOR RESTRICTIONS: Brimlings can wield clubs, daggers, 
  firearms (pistols), grenades, laser pistols, light crossbows, mono-daggers, 
  mono-swords, short bows, swords, and Star Swords. They can wear  
  Light Armor (preferring Brimling Boarding Armor), and do not use shields. 
  FIGHT LIKE PIRATES: Brimlings use their size and swarming tactics to 
  gain unfair advantages in combat. When a Brimling and any two (2)  
  other allies are attacking the same target, the Brimling receives a +1 bonus 
  on their To-Hit rolls.
  LUCKY BUGGER: Once daily a Brimling may re-roll any failed  
  Saving Throw before the results are determined by the Referee.
  SMALL AND QUICK: Because of their small stature and quick reflexes 
  Brimlings receive a -2 [+2] bonus to their Armor Class and a +1 to all 
  To-Hit rolls made with ranged weapons.
  SAVING THROW: After a night of drunken revelry and a particularly 
  satisyfing meal the next morning, Brimlings receive a +1 bonus to all Saving 
  Throws for the rest of the following day.
  SHIP’S COOK (5th): At 5th level a Brimling earns the title of Cook and 
  attracts a crew of loyal swashbucklers, if they own a  Star Galleon. As 
  long as the crew is treated well and is able to engage in regular acts of 
  culinary theft they always receives a +1 bonus to all Saving Throws, in  
  addition to any other modifiers.  The exact starting composition of the Ship Cook’s  
  boarding party is determined by rolling on Table 2: Brimling Board Crew 
  below.

  Brimling Star Galleons resemble the seafaring vessels from the golden 
  age of piracy in the legendary time before space travel occurred. Forged 
  of metal and powered by standard engines and a Faster-Than-Light drive,  
  they  possess a unique shield generator, powered by their massive golden 
  solar sails. Unlike standard shield generators, Brimling Shield Generators 
  form an atmospherically sealed energy bubble around the starship, allowing 
  the starship’s crew to walk around in “open” space on deck, similar to the way 
  that ancient sailors would.  Unfortunately, if the shield generator is destroyed 
  and the shields fail, any crew caught on deck is exposed immediately to the 
  vacuum of space. A major benefits of these shields is that the crew  can easily 
  (and recklessly) leap from the deck of their starship and land on the hull 
  of enemy vessels; this requires appropriate protection and the use of hull-
  splitting laser torches.

  STARSHIP MODIFICATIONS
  BRIMLING GALLEY: Unlike most ships’ galleys, a Brimling Galley includes 
  a massive kitchen capable of providing high quality meals to a large crew,  
  provided a skilled chef like the Cook is tending the cookfires.  
  These meals always include alcoholic beverages, and are of the finest quality. 
  Base Cost:  2 credits.
  BRIMLING SHIELD GENERATOR: This unique shield generator can 
  only be installed on Brimling Star Galleons due to the power requirenents 
  for it. The Brimling Shield Generator is extraordinarily powerful in both 
  its protective capacity and the fact it creates an environmentally sealed 
  bubble around the starship, allowing those walking on the deck of a  
  Brimling Star Galleon to have the benefits of both gravity and atmosphere.  
  Base Cost: 25 credits.
  ION GRAPPLER: Thes are ionized high-strength towing cables that can 
  be fired into an adjacent vessel, piercing the hull and sending a pulse of 
  energy into the target spaceship to short out its systems. Ion Grapplers can 
  only be fired at a starship that has a Shield Strength of zero (0) and any 
  kind of shielding automatically protects a starship from this type of attack.  
  Ion Grapplers can only be fired at adjacent starships. If the attack is  
  successsful, the targeted starship takes 1d6 points of damage and the  
  starship’s pilot (or commanding officer, in the case of large vessels) must 
  make a Saving Throw. If failed, the starship’s engines and weapons are shut 
  down for 5d6 rounds as they are flooded by an overwhelming energy pulse.  
  Base Cost: 50 credits.

  EQUIPMENT
  BRIMLING BOARDING ARMOR. This light, composite armor  
  provides a small measure of protection in battle while still allowing the 
  wearer to remain completely mobile, proving -2 [+2] Armor Class. 
  It is environmentally sealed and has an oxygen supply of up to six (6) 
  hours. Brimling Boarding Armor is designed for smaller species,  
  such as Brimlings or Yabnabs, typically has many design flourishes, and is  
  considered somewhere between fashionable and gaudy by most beings.  
  Weight: 10 lbs. Cost: 50 credits.
  BOARDING TORCH: While not a technically a weapon, a boarding torch 
  can serve as one in an emergency situation. Instead it is used, by pirates 
  operating in zero-gravity environments to cut through bulkheads and hulls 
  of targeted starships. It takes 1d6+4 rounds of work with a boarding torch 
  to cut a hole in a starship’s hull large enough for a Brimling or man-sized 
  creature to pass through. A boarding torch can be used in combat by any 
  character able to wield a dagger and inflicts 1d6-4 points of damage.  
  Weight: 1 lbs. Cost: 10 credits.
