The Way of Rain and Wave
The sea calls to the barbarian and he is helpless to resist its desires. Barbarians are the premier sailors of most any fantasy world, plying the rivers, the lakes and the open seas, questing for new lands and preying upon the treasure barges of fat, merchant kings. Those who follow this path owe their lives and their livelihoods to the sea. It sustains them, provides them with food and offers up its treasures to their coffers.
Adventuring: Those who follow the way of rain and wave prefer to confine their adventures to the waterways. They are pirates, merchants and explorers, with a passion for discovery and a lust for gold and jewels. Their adventures are almost always raids or exploratory missions and they have little use for traditional dungeon delving, though they are not adverse to exploring the ruins of the ancient coastal civilisations they often discover on their voyages. In the adventuring party, the sailor of the way of rain and wave is a hearty warrior and a doughty companion. He is the natural choice to lead any sea-based venture.
Roleplaying: Those who follow the way of rain and wave live life with gusto, for they know that the next tide could carry them down to their death. Many are savage pirates who enjoy the thrill of plunder and high seas bloodshed, while others are brave and daring explorers, ever questing for the lands beyond the next horizon.
Advancement Options: A barbarian follows the way of rain and wave by choosing from the following advancement options: Balance 6 ranks, Knowledge (geography) 6 ranks, Survival 6 ranks, Swim 6 ranks, Use Rope 6 ranks; Alertness, Animal Soul (Whale Rider), Athletic, Deft Hands, Endurance, Nature’s Chosen (aquatic), Skill Focus (Profession (sailor)).
Benefit: A sailor of the way of rain and wave has the following benefit (and corresponding disadvantage):
- Sea Dog: The sailor is well versed in the ways of shipboard combat. He gains a +2 bonus to all attack rolls and a +2 bonus to his armour class while fighting aboard a ship, or when fighting in water at least waist deep.
Disadvantage: A sailor suffers from the following disadvantage.
- Beached Whale: The sailor is, pardon the pun, a fish out of water when fighting on land. He suffers a –1 penalty to all attack rolls and to his armour class when fighting on land. This disadvantage corresponds to Sea Dog.
