Base Class: Artificer
Often from the sea-fairing peoples of the western oceans, the best shipwrights, sailors and navigators all aim to become one of the few chosen to become astral navigators. These people sail the largest ocean stretches, feeling one with the sky and the sea, manipulating their craft like extensions of their bodies. Those same skills are taken on land impressing the varied peoples of the nations which interact with these people.
The original astral navigators were the reason for the wide-spread nature of the sea nomads today. Back in the Age of Heroes when humanity first started to experiment with the powers of the Magisphere, it was them who took the costal slave towns of the southern coasts and gave them freedom across the waves. Their powers intertwining with those of Thedasis allowing them to propel their gargantuan catamarans across the waters never before navigated. Some in legend gained even the power to control the elements themselves.

Astral Outrigger
3rd-level Astral Navigator feature
You've learned how to create an astral outrigger. Using woodcarver’s tools and the components listed on the selected outrigger you can take 8 hours to magically create a Large or Huge astral outrigger canoe in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface, preferable on water, within 20 feet of you. A Large or Huge astral outrigger canoe occupies its space.
Once you create an outrigger, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can have only one outrigger at a time and can’t create one while your outrigger is present.
The outrigger is a magical construct. Regardless of size, the canoe has an Armor Class of 13 + its Dexterity modifier. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage.
An astral outrigger has the six ability scores and corresponding modifiers. Its size and weight determines its Strength. Dexterity represents its handling and manoeuvrability. A vehicle’s Constitution reflects its durability and quality of construction. Astral outriggers usually have a score of 0 in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
If an astral outrigger has a 0 in a score, it automatically fails any ability check or saving throw that uses that score.
When you create the astral outrigger, you determine its appearance. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Astral Outriggers table. To utilise the canoe you must assume command at the helm, dependant on the type of vehicle selected there may also be other actions stations where action may be taken by other crew mates.
