Elemental Helmsman

 
Prerequisite(s): None
 
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on opposed charisma checks when you attempt to control an elemental vessel. If you use lightning reins or a wheel of wind and water, your bonus increases to +10. If you fail the opposed charisma check, the vessel continues in its current motion, though you can try again the following round. Even characters not of house Orien or Lyrander sometimes take this feat, in an effort to pilot airships and earth sleds without the auspices of a dragonmarked house.
