-Through observance of the sea, the beachcomber gains abilities that allow personal contact with unusual creatures and humanoids unknown to land-dwellers — so that in practice, they are often ambassadors between the two worlds.  The study is enhanced by an interest in [[Underwater Mounts (study)|underwater riding mounts]], since finding such a mount would come more easily to a beachcomber.  Knowledge of the sea enables the leading of many peoples across great oceans, locating impossible to find places through observation and skill.
