Granted Features

Automatic:

Combat training built for the water keeps you effective in melee below the surface instead of fumbling against it.

Raw physical power decides who can scale a wall, keep afloat, or shove and trip an opponent off balance in a fight.

During a sea voyage, you washed overboard, ingested sea water, and drowned. Merfolk, kelpies, sea serpents, or another magical denizen of the sea pulled your unconscious body from the briny depths. Having spent so much time underwater, your lungs were filled with salt water. To restore your ability to breathe, they exhaled into your lungs and shared the ability to breathe underwater in the process. You came back with the ability to breathe water, as well as a newfound knowledge of your time beneath the waves.

You gain one ability boost. It must be to Strength, Constitution, or Charisma.

You're trained in the Athletics skill and the Ocean Lore skill. You have the ability to breathe underwater.

Special You can choose to lose the ability to breathe air when you take this background, making you only able to breathe underwater. If you do, you gain a second ability boost, which is a free attribute boost.
