Hey Dramasailor, are we using the following XGtE rules about tools and skills combining in this game?
[ +- ] XGtE Chapter 2: Tool Proficiencies
Advantage. If the use of a tool and the use of a skill both apply to a check, and a character is proficient with the tool and the skill, consider allowing the character to make the check with advantage. This simple benefit can go a long way toward encouraging players to pick up tool proficiencies. In the tool descriptions that follow, this benefit is often expressed as additional insight (or something similar), which translates into an increased chance that the check will be a success.
Added Benefit. In addition, consider giving characters who have both a relevant skill and a relevant tool proficiency an added benefit on a successful check. This benefit might be in the form of more detailed information or could simulate the effect of a different sort of successful check. For example, a character proficient with mason’s tools makes a successful Wisdom (Perception) check to find a secret door in a stone wall. Not only does the character notice the door’s presence, but you decide that the tool proficiency entitles the character to an automatic success on an Intelligence (Investigation) check to determine how to open the door.

How's the character coming along Bleak? I'd like to get us rolling this week, if at all possible. :)

I'd like to apologise for the major delay in my character. It's statistically done, but work has made me just a little too busy and somewhat drained of inspiration to finish off the flavor side of things. I've switched up to an Inquisitive rogue, built to fulfill the quartermaster duty.
I'll make sure it's up for tomorrow afternoon. I'm aware that's a week late, so thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the update Bleak! I know the holidays can be a huge drain on all of us here in the states, and for those abroad, this time of year seems to always get busy with other holidays and things pushing to the foreground.

Rolling health, finally. It's mostly come down to an inspiration issue now, but that's not really any excuse for delaying the game this far.
Magic item will be a Cloak of Protection.

Rolls
Health Rolls - (1d8+1, 1d8+1, 1d8+1, 1d8+1)
1d8+1 : (8) + 1 = 9
1d8+1 : (4) + 1 = 5
1d8+1 : (5) + 1 = 6
1d8+1 : (5) + 1 = 6

Alrighty, in an effort to not see our ship sink before we sail, I'm going to get us rolling across the waves. Bleak, when you get your character submitted, you'll wake up in your bunk on the boat ;-).
