Fisherman

Credit: Mark S. Cookman
You were born in a small coastal village. You were raised with a strong work ethic and learned as a child that hard work does not guarantee success. You were taught the craft of your father and his father before; you learned how to take a bounty from the sea. The work was both demanding and exhausting, but you became quite skilled at it. An occurrence on a recent voyage has put you off this career and you have decided to seek your fortunes elsewhere.   After choosing this background, you must work with the Dungeon Master to determine what kind of a fisherman you were. Do you use nets or traps? Do you fish with poles from a small boat or with large hooks and nets from a two-masted ship? Do you hunt the mighty whalefish with sharpened harpoons? You must also work out with the DM where in the world you have sailed while plying your trade.
