As an Astral Voyager, your years were spent navigating the vast, star-filled expanse of the Astral Sea, aboard a vessel that braved tempestuous astral storms, encountered eldritch entities, and faced adversaries seeking to cast you into the oblivion of Wildspace. The cosmos and its celestial bodies were your first passion, yet the call for new adventures has drawn you toward uncharted destinies.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Athletics, Deception, Intimidation, Perception, Persuasion
- Tool Proficiencies: Navigator’s tools, vehicles (space)
- Equipment: A belaying pin (club), 50 feet of silk rope, 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 of the Player's Handbook), a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Your position on the astral vessel shaped your skills, relationships, and perspective on the cosmos. Reflect on the role you played among the stars:
| d10 | Astral Duties |
|---|---|
| 1 | Captain: As the leader, you commanded respect and made critical decisions, navigating through astral hazards and diplomatic quandaries alike. |
| 2 | First Mate: Second in command, you were the captain's right hand, overseeing daily operations and ensuring the crew's morale remained high. |
| 3 | Navigator: You charted courses across the Astral Sea, guiding the ship through celestial currents and star mazes with expert precision. |
| 4 | Boatswain (Bosun): Responsible for the ship and its maintenance, you ensured everything ran smoothly, from sail repairs to rigging checks. |
| 5 | Quartermaster: Tasked with managing supplies and the distribution of loot, you were key to keeping the crew fed and the ship stocked. |
| 6 | Ship's Mage: Harnessing arcane energies, you protected the ship with magical wards, navigated through astral phenomena, and provided mystical firepower when needed. |
| 7 | Helmsman: At the ship's wheel, you steered through the vastness of space, responding to the captain's orders with a steady hand and keen eye. |
| 8 | Cook: More than just preparing meals, you kept spirits high with your culinary creations, providing comfort and a taste of home amidst the stars. |
| 9 | Engineer/Tinkerer: Tasked with maintaining and repairing the ship's mechanical and magical components. Your inventive nature and problem-solving skills are crucial to keeping the vessel operational. |
| 10 | Communications Officer: You handled the ship's communications, adept in multiple languages and codes. Your role was crucial for negotiating and decoding interstellar messages. |
Your familiarity with astral docks, the comings and goings of inspectors, and the flow of goods grants you a unique edge. You can effortlessly smuggle cargo onto or off a ship, avoiding attention and bypassing official scrutiny. Your knowledge of local authority operations also allows you to navigate, or when necessary, manipulate their regulations to your advantage.
