Abilities

Chart a Course (concentrate) — By spending 10 minutes of work and succeeding at a DC 22 Sailing-lore{Sailing Lore} check, the navigator plots an optimal course.

The severity of environmental conditions other than temperature are reduced by one step for 24 hours (two steps on a critical success). This changes moderate damage to minor damage, winds that create greater difficult terrain cause only difficult terrain, and so on.
Sailing Specialist — For encounters involving navigation or sailing, the navigator is a 4th-level challenge.
Navigator's Edge — The navigator's Strikes deal an additional 1d6 damage when on a ship.
