Does Saltbeard bonus to Profession (Sailor) work on day jobs?


Rules Questions


SaltBeard:
Dwarves occasionally found iron cities along rugged seacoasts, and natives of such cities gain a +2 bonus on Profession (sailor) and Survival checks while at sea. They gain a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC against creatures with the aquatic or water subtype. Their greed racial trait applies only to treasure found in or under the water, but applies to all such treasure regardless of whether or not it contains metal or gemstones. This racial trait replaces defensive training, hatred, and stonecunning.

It says while only at sea, however I find it hard for a profession (sailor) to do his job anywhere but sea.

thoughts?


Depending on how it is read, the bonuses could be:

+2 bonus on Profession (Sailor)
+2 bonus on Survival (while at sea)

The "while at sea" part could only apply to the Survival bonus.

However, Profession (Sailor) can also be used on lakes and rivers. Not just the sea. So the bonuses to both Prof(Sailor) and Survival could only be applied when at sea, but not when on a river or lake.


Thanks for the insight!
