Default Re: Sinbad the Sailor

Is there a reason he is not qualified to serve as the captain of a ship?

I thought that by the later tales, Sinbad was in charge of the ship and had Navigation, Leadership, Tactics (Naval) and Shiphandling...

I mean, the Caliph trusts him to deliver expensive gifts over the terrible, terrible oceans of this reality.

Why would he trust this to someone who can't even navigate, gather a crew or command a ship? And who only has Seamanship (to default from) at the lowest possible level for a professional sailor?

Also, isn't the character like a legendary teller of tales, who at this point in his life ? Wouldn't it make sense for his Public-Speaking (Storytelling) to be his primary skill, not something he spent 1 point on?

What skills to you use to build a raft?

And I'm sure he needs Scrounging.
