The sea has marked you: in your gait, your voice, and the way you scan the horizon. You’ve worked the rigging, weathered storms, and cursed the doldrums. Life on a ship is hard, but honest. Or at least, predictable.
Were you navy, pirate, or mercantile crew? Did you love the sea, or run from something on land? What port do you dream of returning to – or never seeing again?
- Equipment. A belaying pin (club), 50 feet of silk rope, a lucky charm, a set of common clothes, carpenter’s tools.
- Tools & Languages. Carpenter’s Tools.
- Backround Knowledge. You ignore movement penalties from slippery or unsteady surfaces, and you gain advantage on checks to maintain balance, or avoid falling prone due to shifting terrain. You always know the number of hours left before the next sunrise or sunset.
- Seafarer’s Instinct. You gain a climbing speed of 30 feet. When a hazard (falling, explosion, collapsing rigging, wave crash, etc.) targets you or allies within 30 feet, you can shout a warning. Everyone who hears you can immediately move 10 feet as a reaction without provoking opportunity attacks.
