Any fifth level thief with a minimum
Constitution of 12 who likes the waters and is willing to obey a captains
will, or is a captain himself, can become Pirate. Dwarven Pirates are highly
unlikely, but not forbidden. The Pirate is a seagoing thief who lives of
looting other ships. Pirates are experts in using ropes and sailing, but
they have little use of true stealth. Here's a table full of info about
the Pirate...
