Fishing is amongst the most ancient practices of food gathering, and have central to the survival of many civilizations throughout history. For this reason, Fisherman fit a vital role by gathering aquatic creatures on both rivers and seas.

Focus and Patience

Fishing is generally a task that requires patience, forcing those who engage in it to remain silent and still for long periods of time, awaiting for the target creature to take the bait, for the perfect opportunity to catch the fish. Hence, fisherman have steel nerves and deep focus, and are able to really attune to their own senses in order to detect their prey, being ready when the time to capture the fish comes.

Luring Tactics

Baiting is one of the most important skills a fisherman needs to learn, and using movements from their bodies and tools, chamative - and sometimes living - bait, goading aquatic creatures to devote their attention to them and rush into a bite. Experienced fisherman can use those tactics to even goad non-aquatic creatures, making them an invaluable asset in an adventuring party, to attract the attention of powerful foes away from the most squishy members of the group.

Powerful Bodies

Fisherman are extremely enduring and resistant, capable of spending days under harsh climates while maneuvering an aquatic vessel, and still focused and concentrated on their task to catch fish. They also have strong arms and legs, that enables them to pull heavy nets filled with fish, drag big fishes with their rods, butcher gigantic sea creatures and carry heavy fishes on their backs.
