This weathered totem has been crafted from the planks of shipwrecks. A captain can spend ten minutes attuning the totem to their ship (or another such vehicle), whereupon completion, the totem becomes affixed to the ship. This is up to the captain. It can become part of a mast, part of the hull out front, or next to the wheel like a dashboard hula girl. This totem changes the view of the ship, making it covered in chips and scrapes as if it has been battered in the fiercest of storms. These scratches cannot be buffed out or removed, no matter how much effort is used.
This totem gives the ship it is attuned to a +1 to the AC of the hull and gives the captain (or whoever is helming the ship, as long as they are allied with the owner of the ship) advantage on skill checks to avoid crashing the ship.
CURSED VARIANT: This totem looks much the same as a normal Wreck Watcher Totem, and still gives a +1 to the ship's hull AC. The curse comes into effect anytime the ship sails near dangers such as sandbars, rocks, or other shipwrecks. The totem will try to steer the ship into the hazards in an attempt to sink the crew, giving the captain (or whoever is helming the ship) disadvantage on any skill checks made to avoid crashing the ship.
Notes: to a ship, or other such vehicle
