Chapter 1 - Non-weapon Proficiencies
Boating - for Dwarves only Non-weapon Proficiency
A character with boating proficiency is needed to guide a boat down a rapid stream or to reduce the dangers of capsizing a canoe or kayak. In addition, a character with boating proficiency can insure that a boat is propelled at its maximum speed.
Note that this proficiency is distinct from Navigation and Seamanship, which apply to ships on oceans, seas, or at least large lakes, rather than small craft on smaller lakes and rivers.
Dwarves suffer the additional penalty because of their distrust of water.
