While your first love was always nature, you spent years supporting a pirate crew on the open ocean. In that time, you guided the ship away from storms to natural harbors with your druidcrafting skills. While you were largely uninvolved with the mayhem of pirate raiding your mere association with the marauding crew has made you feared in nearly every port you visit.
- Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Perception - You were valued by the crew as an adept healer and your perception of the dangers of the sea. Above all, the captain valued your less traditional contributions to the pirate way of life and gave you significant freedom to commune with the natural wonder of the seas and coasts.
- Tool Proficiencies: Navigators Tools, Vehicles (Water)
- Equipment: A club, 50 feet of silk rope, a lucky charm such as a rabbit foot or a small stone with a hole in the center. A set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10gp

Feature: Negative Aura
Your nonchalant observation of the violence at the hands of your Pirate crew makes you feared. They may not have seen you engaged in murder or plunder, but they saw the reverence the crew had for. Your casually walks along the beach while the port burned is the topic of much gossip, no one who has heard these stories is eager to cross you, lest they find out what the Pirates feared. Locals will avoid confronting you over minor transgressions.
Suggested Characteristics
You kept your duties on the ship to a minimum and spent little time interacting with the crew, preferring to ride in the surf along the ship or meditate on the bow as you watched the horizon. Even on a sea-going vessel, you sought a more solitary life, which left you with a much different perspective than the rest of the crew.
