When activated, Swimming at the surface of calm waters (e.g. a still lake, slow river, or calm seas) that are at least waist deep costs you no extra movement for the next 10 minutes. This ability can be used a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
This ability does not apply in rough waters, Underwater, or in Difficult Terrain. It does not benefit from magical speed enhancement (e.g. Longstrider), and only applies to regular movement (e.g. not Dash).

Posted Jul 27, 2025This is not designed to be a standalone feat; it is intentionally very underpowered for that. It is designed to be granted by nautical backgrounds (such as a Master at Arms background I am working on), alongside another conventional origin feat, to provide a little ongoing origin flavor without significant game impact.
