You were part of a Reaver pirate group. Talk to your DM about the culture surrounding your reaver ship.
You sailed the storm coast performing typical pirate activities. Taking slaves, protecting mainland charges, collecting and selling stormdust. Every storm season you go back to The Slag where there is no more fighting allowed.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Brewer's Supplies, vehicles (water)
- Equipment: A belaying pin (club), [Tooltip Not Found], a lucky charm such as a rabbit foot or a small stone with a hole in the center (or you may roll for a random trinket on the Trinkets table in chapter 5), a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Reaver's Mark
When you joined the Reavers you were given a permanent mark (tattoo, brand, etc). In areas of high pirate activity, people are wary or outright afraid of you. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activity to the authorities.
Suggested Characteristics
Sailors can be a rough lot, but the responsibilities of life on a ship make them generally reliable as well. Life aboard a ship shapes their outlook and forms their most important attachments.
