[@Shiva] How would you feel about a ship cleric? Or, alternatively, a blind pirate?

As long as they can preform their duties. I will say to keep in mind that the position of surgeon is already taken, so if you're going a cleric route then their job on the ship probably won't have anything to do with that.

Although on a bad day the crew might take advantage of their magical healing abilities.
