Undersea Privateer

Requirements You're in or under water.

You tense your muscles to make yourself neutrally buoyant and more difficult to move. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your Fortitude or Reflex DC against attempts to Reposition or Shove you. This bonus also applies to saving throws against spells or effects that attempt to force you to move. If any effect would force you to move 10 feet or more, attempt a DC 11 Flat. On a success, you move only 5 feet. Additionally, you don't have to take a Swim action each turn to avoid sinking or moving with the current.

You move more quickly underwater. Your swim Speed increases by 5 feet.

Thanks to tireless practice, water has become a natural environment for you. You gain a swim Speed of 15 feet. If you already have a permanent swim Speed, swimming up or down isn't difficult terrain.

Frequency once per round

Requirements You're underwater.

You move 5 feet or up to half your swim Speed vertically through the water. This movement doesn't trigger reactions normally triggered by movement.

You mimic the serpentine movements of an eel. While underwater, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Acrobatics checks to Escape, Squeeze, and Tumble Through.

You're an expert at using the dark of the ocean to conceal yourself. As long as you're separated from a creature by 20 or more feet of water, the turbulence of the water grants you enough cover to attempt to Hide from that creature.

You're practiced at scaling ships, and even a wet and slippery exterior won't stand in your way. You can Climb a sea vehicle even if you have one hand occupied. If both your hands are free, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your Athletics check. You aren't Off Guard while Balancing or Climbing on any part of a sea vehicle.

Requirements You're in Anchor Stance, and your target is within 5 feet of the edge of a water vehicle or already in the water.

You swirl water around you to make a current that pulls creatures closer. Attempt an Athletics check against the Fortitude DC of a creature within 20 feet. If the creature is willing, you increase your degree of success by one (turning a failure into a success and a success into a critical success).

Critical Success The target is pulled 10 feet toward you.

Success The target is pulled 5 feet toward you.

Critical Failure Your movements cause you to be Off Guard until the beginning of your next turn.

After extensive training around and on board ships, you've learned how to use their size and contours to conceal yourself. When in the water within 20 feet of a sea vehicle or climbing aboard one, you can move at your full Speed while Sneaking.

Like a flying fish, you can build up momentum and launch yourself into the air. Swim toward the surface at up to twice your swim Speed, then attempt a DC 30 Athletics check to propel yourself out of the water. If you do not swim at least 10 feet, you automatically fail. If your Leap takes you near any structure or object and have at least one hand free, you can use the Grab An Edge reaction. If you do not succeed in Grabbing an Edge, you do not take any falling damage as you re-enter the water but are submerged to a distance that equals the height of your Leap.

Critical Success You Leap up to 15 feet vertically and 5 feet horizontally.

Success You Leap up to 10 feet vertically and 5 feet horizontally.

Failure You Leap up to 5 feet vertically and 5 feet horizontally.

Critical Failure You're Off Guard until the start of your next turn.

You've learned to camouflage yourself among the shadows and currents of the ocean so you're hard to see from above. When you're fully underwater, you're Concealed to all opponents who are out of the water, and Hidden to those who are out of the water and more than 10 feet away from you.

Trigger You reach the top of your Propelled Leap.

You've learned how to convert your upward momentum into a powerful attack. At the top of your Propelled Leap, you can make a melee or ranged Strike as a reaction instead of choosing to Grab an Edge. Your Strike gains a +4 circumstance bonus to damage. After your attack, hit or miss, you fall back into the water.

Like the ocean in a storm, you overwhelm your opponents with speed and force. Move up to your Speed and make two Strikes. These Strikes can happen at any point during your movement. If either Strike reduces a target to 0 Hit Points, you gain the Quickened condition for 1 round. You can only use the extra action to Stride or Swim.
