You have been busy on the sea for many years working for a formidable pirate. In those days, you faced wild storms, deep-sea beasts, or any other dangers that could drag your boat into the deep sea.

For this feat, you will be granted one background inspiration, for the duration of this campaign.  At any time you can claim it unless it is in battle, then you must wait for your turn to begin to claim it.  Once you claim it, everything pauses, you will now regale us with a story from your past.  In that story, you will tell the players and DM about your time with your pirate crew.

• Is it famous or unknown?
• Is it still sailing today, or is it missing, or sinking with the sailors above?
• What is your position onboard? Is it a sailor, a navigator, a cook, or something else?
• Who is the captain and who is the first officer?
• Are you leaving the ship with the blessings of your companions, or are you fleeing from the ship in embarrassment?
• You tell the group about a time you were in a sticky situation and you had...
  • an object that would help save the day (the object wouldn't be currently in your possession, once you finished telling the story, any item (upon DM's approval will then currently be in your possession once the flashback finishes).
  • a crazy idea, you didn't even know if this would work.  Tell us something that you did that you are not proficient in, how you were against the odds, and how you succeded.  You are now able to choose one skill (that you are not proficient in) to become proficient.
  • an inspirational idea.  You may use this also as an inspiration roll.  Reroll any dice roll.

Feature: Ship’s Passage

When necessary, you can get a free ride for your team to travel. You may be on a ship that you used to play with, or you may have encountered another ship that you have met with you or a ship under the command of a fellow sailor.

Because you are asking for help, not employment, you can’t make an itinerary and schedule fully meet your requirements. The exact time to reach the destination will be determined by the DM.

As a reward for the free ride, you and your teammates must join the crew to help with the work.

Variant Feature: Bad Reputation

If your character uses a sailor background, then you can choose this background feature instead of the boathouse way feature.

Wherever you go, people will be scared by your notoriety. When you are in a civilized community, you can be protected from subtle criminal charges, such as eating overlord meals in a pub or kick the door of a bad store, etc.. It just because people don’t dare to risk reporting your abuse to the authorities.
