Abilities
Bravery — When the Ship Captain rolls a success on a Will save against a fear effect, they get a critical success instead. In addition, any time they gain the Frightened condition, reduce its value by 1.
Dual Disarm — The captain makes two Strikes, one with their rapier and one with their main-gauche (in either order). If both Strikes hit, the ship captain can attempt to Disarm the target.
Their multiple attack penalty increases only after all the attacks are made.

No Quarter! (auditory, concentrate, emotion, linguistic, mental) — The captain orders their shipmates to fight without mercy. All allied creatures of equal or lower level within 20 feet of the ship captain gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls until the end of the ship captain's next turn.

CrasherLANDA crasher benefits from the flanker's No Quarter! aura and capitalizes on disarmed enemies for devastating follow-up.
SniperLANDA sniper exploits the No Quarter! attack bonus and targets disarmed foes from range while the flanker controls the engagement.
