More Goods to Load

Ship Archetype: The Seafarer

A seafarer ship likes to travel the seas, being free on the waves of the sea. It can act with speed and agility in maneuvers and voyages. Such ships are excellent travelling vessels, and are considered as good scouts in battle fleets.

Wave Slider

When your ship reaches its 1st level, you realize that your ship likes to lunge forward in a sudden dash. While making its movement the ship can move 1.5 times the feet it normally would during that turn. While making a turn, it can turn 30 degrees more than it normally would. You can use this feature once before you take a short rest. Number of uses increase to 2 per short rest when your ship reaches 5th level, and 3 per short rest when it reaches 10th level.

Navigating Instincts

When your ship reaches its 5th level, your ship starts to seem like it understands the direction you want it to turn. Even if you don’t have a crew using the steering oar or rudder helm is destroyed, the ship can turn with its oars without having a disadvantage on the check to maneuver.

Favoring Wind

When your ship reaches her 10th level, the wind starts to somehow favor it. In encounters, the wind shifts swiftly around your ship and lets the ship have wind from the back, providing the maximum speed for sails possible at all times. This same situation applies when your ship is voyaging forhours or days. Its travel speed is doubled in terms of miles per hour and per day.
