[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 1870528, member: 6957"] He is reffering to the Full Publishers list in the D20 Reviews area of this site. *EDIT* Here [url]http://www.enworld.org/reviews/publishers.php[/url] The Auld Grump *EDIT 2* I am pretty sure that the ships were not built with the [i]Seafarer's Handbook[/i], rather they are built around the ships in Mongoose Publishing's [i]Seas of Blood[/i], and actual real world ships. And I would not use the term 'clumsy' at all, at all. (You can find the corresponding ship types with very little work, the number of guns, length, draft, beam, rigging, etc. is from the actual ships, only the game stats are assigned from SoB.) However if you are looking for ship building rules, that are at least mostly consistent with those used in Corsair, look up Mongoose Publishing's [URL=http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=345&qsSeries=14&PHPSESSID=dfab148176769f123413740faf959515]Book of the Sea.[/URL] When S&B came out these rules were not yet available so there will be some minor discrepencies. Plus BoS is intended for mostly for ships before the advent of blackpowder, while Corsair and S&B are for a specific, gunpowder heavy, period. Until cannon came into existence naval battles consisted mostly of ramming and boarding, catapults, trebuchet, etc. take up a lot of space on ship compared to cannon, and otherwise are a [i]very bad iidea[/i] aboard ship. (Yaw, pich, and roll do not make for accurate fire, then add in a counterweight driven trebuchet and you have a nightmare.) The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
