Item: Aboutface Figurehead

Figurehead: While many ships are adorned with decorative carvings, daring crews sometimes procure magical figureheads for their vessels. Installing an item with the figurehead trait takes 1 hour. The item then shifts slightly to match the vessel's purpose or crew as determined by the attuned creature, such as gaining avian features on a tengu vessel. A ship can have only one figurehead attached to it at a time; attaching another one suppresses all the figureheads. A figurehead can be activated only by a creature that's attuned to it, a process that takes 1 hour and can be performed while the creature is installing the figurehead. Only one creature can be attuned to the figurehead at a time unless otherwise noted. The attuned creature can activate the figurehead from anywhere aboard the vessel. Typically, the owner or captain of the vessel attunes to their vessel's figurehead. The figureheads presented here assume the vehicles they attach to are sailing ships or similar aquatic vessels, but figureheads might be modified or crafted to function on other vehicles instead.

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.

Water: Effects with the water trait either manipulate or conjure water. Those that manipulate water have no effect in an area without water.

Creatures with a weakness to water take damage equal to double their weakness at the end of each round.
