[QUOTE="tauton_ikhnos, post: 1544994, member: 16195"] 1 & 2. A 50 ft keelboat in D&D is 3,000 gp, has a crew of 8, and can carry up to 40 tons of cargo OR 100 soldiers. On water, it moves about 1 mph. A 75 ft keelboat in D&D is 3,000 gp, has a crew of 15, and can carry up to 50 tons of cargo OR 100 soldiers. On water, it moves about 1 mph. A warship costs 25,000 gp, but is 100 ft long. It moves 2.5 mph. At a guess, a faster, smaller (50 ft) warship would cost around 15,000 gp, and move 3.5 mph. 3 & 4. For a 50 ft version, I would charge 28,800 gp. However, if you want to leave it at 7,200 gp, there are other things you can do to balance things out... a. A folding boat is made of thin, magically hardened wood. It has a high hardness (maybe equivalent to iron?), but it has the hit points of 1 inch of wood. So hardness 10, hp 10. b. It can be dispelled, temporarily suppressing its magic. Whether this locks it in boat form, or returns it to its native form, is up to you. 5. If they worked together, I would increase the cost of the cheaper item by 50%. So 7,200 + 7,200 + 3,600 = 18,000 gp total, plus the cost of the air keel itself. 6. The best protection against Dispel Magic is a high caster level on the item. [/QUOTE]
