| Points | -4 |
| Skill Boosts | Fishing: +1 |
Angler gives a character a head start in Fishing. It adds one level to the skill and teaches how to make and fix a fishing rod.
It is a positive trait and costs 4 points at character creation. It suits a player who plans to live near water and feed a base on fish. Fishing gives a steady food supply long after canned food runs out. A character who settles by a river or lake gets the most from it.
Angler Effects
The extra Fishing level gives a better start at catching fish. Fishing grows with practice, and the starting level puts the character a step ahead.
The trait teaches Make Fishing Rod and Fix Fishing Rod. A character can build a rod from basic materials instead of searching for one. A worn rod can be repaired rather than thrown away.
It also teaches Make Chum Base, the starting mix for fishing chum.

Picking Angler
Angler fits into most builds. The 4 points buy a food skill and the tools to use it.
The trait suits a rural base by a lake or river. A city run with little water nearby will use it less.
Former Scout also teaches the fishing rod recipes and adds a level of Fishing. It costs more but brings First Aid and Foraging too. A player who wants a broad outdoor start may prefer it.
Notes
- Make Fishing Rod removes the need to find a rod.
- Fix Fishing Rod keeps a rod in use for longer.
- A base by a lake or river gets the most from it.
- Former Scout teaches the same rod recipes with more skills.
