Apprentice Diver (TP)

You are or once were a member of the Mariners' Guild, an intrepid group of aquatic explorers and mariners. Working as an apprentice diver in the lodge you have learned much about the Shallows-you know what is dangerous and what is delicious. You have climbed the cliffs around the island, explored many beaches, and learned how to use the gear needed to survive under the waves.

• Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Nature
• Tool Proficiencies: Divers Armor
• Equipment: An Explorer's Pack, a chest, grappling hook, fishing tackle, a faction coin marking which lodge you trained under, and 11 gold flowers.

Note: If a player chooses an apprentice background for their character, it doesn't mean they are full members of that faction. An apprentice witch, for example, learned under a witch for a time, but it doesn't mean that character was inducted into a coven yet. It does mean that the apprentice had a mentor, though. Work with that player to figure out who their character's mentor or mentors were, and determine what that character's current level of involvement is with that faction.

When visiting either of the Coastal Diver's Lodges, you always have free room and board. Additionally, the lodge will assist you in your endeavors as best they can.
