Trigger The castaway takes damage from a Strike

Effect The castaway Steps away from the source of the Strike.

Cockamamie Rant◆◆

The castaway launches into a nonsensical verbal stream of consciousness. Creatures in a 30-foot emanation must succeed at a DC 19 will save or be Confused for 1 round. Once a creature has succeeded at a save against the castaway's Cockamamie Rant, they are immune to its effects for 24 hours.

Snare Master◆◆◆

Frequency five times per day

Effect By scrounging local materials, the castaway constructs a simple but effective deadfall without expending resources. Treat this as a snare with a DC 19 perception check to spot, and a DC 23 thievery check to disable. It occupies a single 5-foot square and lasts 24 hours before falling apart. The first creature that enters the space takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage (DC 22 reflex save).

Sneak Attack

The castaways deals 1d6 extra precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.

Be it the result of shipwreck, forcible marooning, or personal choice, surviving alone on an island long enough tends to weed out the weak of body and mind. Lack of social interaction tends to breed belligerence towards outsiders, but hostilities are not a certainty.

Adventurers may need passage on a swift vessel, or they might face danger from raiders at sea or in coastal settlements.
