You are a true child of the seas, and have dedicated much of your life to keeping them safe and free for all to travel. Whether for profit, or simply to enact justice, you have taken it upon yourself to be the shepherd that opposes the wolfish pirates that plague so many on the open water. As such, you are a skilled sailor, and a combatant with a fine sense of balance, even in the most tumultuous of storms. While many take to the sea for business, it is your home, and you defend it fiercely. This life has taught you to survive, live, and thrive on the water- as well as how to plague pirates as they prey upon innocent seafarers.

Feature: Seafarer's Shepherd
You have developed a reputation among seafaring merchants, traders, and transports. When you need to, you can often find yourself free passage on such ships for you and your party. You may sail with a ship that you have once saved from pirates, or that is home to those you have saved. While you can't be certain of the schedule or route, you can be certain of your arrival to your destination. Additionally, you have an easier time finding information among the ships and docks as you are often in contact with people who frequent those areas. You know honest seafarers, and they know you.
