Sailor: Difference between revisions

You have spent considerable time as an explorer, freebooter, pirate or mariner and define your life by the sea. From skiffs to frigates, you know your way around a ship and are as comfortable in a raging storm as you are in a pleasant breeze. You embrace the freedom, adventure, and danger of life as you traverse the trading lanes or explore parts unknown, never knowing what might be waiting over the next wave.

If you take this profession when you create your character, you gain the following [[gear]], in addition to the [[equipment]] you gained based on your background:  

rucksack, leather [[armor]], 1 tool or kit, clothes (simple), mess kit, rations (5), utensils, bowl, flask, 50 ft rope, compass

Each time you gain a rank in the sailor profession (including rank 1), gain +3 Vehicles [water], and +1 in three [[skills|different skills]] of your choice from below:

* <u>Crafting</u>*: Cartography, Cooking, Woodcarving

* <u>Stamina</u>: Menacing, Swimming

When you become a rank 1 sailor, and every time you gain a rank in the sailor profession, your reputation among NPCs with your choice of mercantile, military, or underworld [[backgrounds]] improves.

You have the [[skills]] and knowledge to secure a temporary position on a trading, privateer, pirate, or exploratory [[vessel]] and earn 10 sc for every week spent working in a friendly port.

You have risen to the rank of captain and have your own ship with a crew under your employ. When achieving rank 3 in this profession you may choose a specialization: explorer, [[merchant]], pirate, or privateer. This choice grants you specific abilities at ranks 4 and 5 as well as this rank.

|When choosing this specialization, you may immediately gain 1 rank of the nomad profession, including all starting equipment and skills. Your ship is outfitted for long journeys.  

|You are now an expedition leader and can attempt to fund more elaborate exploratory missions. These missions can be sponsored by NPCs with an academic or aristocratic background or can be paid out of your own pocket. Each sponsor gives you a +1 on the elaborate expedition roll (below), but takes 10% of final earnings. Failing to succeed may [[damage]] your reputation with your sponsor. You also gain 1 rank in the [[nomad]] profession.
