Ocean Nomad

For some, the ocean is not merely a means of getting from port to port, but a home in and of itself.

Seafarer

Source NPC Core pg. 146
Adventurers may need passage on a swift vessel, or they might face danger from raiders at sea or in coastal settlements.

Conscription

While slavery is outlawed across Golarion, the practice of plying sailors into service with copious amounts of alcohol and ambiguous promises remains a timeless tradition. Old salts sometimes say, “Take the sail, and that's what you'll get.” This originally referred to the standard gold piece of Korvosa that featured a ship imprint. Once a sailor accepted any coin from a recruiter, it was fair game for them to be conscripted.

Crossover Ancestry NPCs

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Jinx eater (level 4)

Religion

Faith for those who sail the waves is frequently a matter of appeasement rather than piety. Sailors will commonly pray to Gozreh and Hei Feng for favorable weather; to Besmara in the hopes of avoiding pirates and sea monsters; and to Desna and Sarenrae for aid in navigation. Navies with strong national religions turn a blind eye to this behavior. Rahadoumi vessels are an exception and prohibit such worship. Foreigners among their crews must be secretive in their devotions.

Sea Maps

A ship's map is a matter of great pride and value. Every ship develops maps as it sails and discovers routes and locations. While larger navies may share their findings among each other, independent vessels treasure the secrets of their map above all. For this reason, sea maps often do not have labels and are coded with unique symbols, so their secrets, which are worth more than gold, can't be easily discovered.

The Bends

Deep-depths divers have a special danger they must prepare against when going about their daily business: air in the blood. Colloquially known as the bends, diving disease occurs when a diver rises too quickly, whether out of inexperience or fear. Many divers have had to choose between facing down a terrifying predator or moving too quickly and becoming victims of this painful disease.
