FEATURE: SHIP'S PASSAGE
You're an experienced pirate. When you need to, you can secure free passage on a pirate ship for yourself and your adventuring companions. You might sail on the ship you served on, or another ship you have good relations with (perhaps one captained by a former crewmate). Because you're calling in a favor, you can't be certain of a schedule or route that will meet your every need. Your DM will determine how long it takes to get where you need to go. In return for your free passage, you and your companions are expected to assist the crew during the voyage.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Pirates can be a rough lot, but the responsibilities of life on a ship make them generally reliable as well. Living as a pirate can be dangerous, but is equally rewarding in the freedom and potential wealth it offers.
