Adventurer's Vault Excerpt: Airships

[Scholar & Brutalman]

Excerpt from Adventurers Vault at WotC: a stat block for an Airship

These are a common fantasy trope and I'm happy to see some mechanical support for them early in the new edition.

Coolness! As a DM I like the way treasure is handled in 4e, so this book really has my interest.

A high-altitude airship encounter sounds like a lot of fun with these rules, and nowhere near the headache that was the 3e Eberron airship/Stormwrack naval combat rules.

 

[Hussar]

That is ... cool. Simple, easy. Wow. No tracking hit locations. You could run ship to ship combat in a very short time.

Oh, I've been waiting for this for SOOOO long. Wonder if sailing ship combat is similar?

 

[Lancelot]

The Adventurer's Vault excerpts are definitely working for me: this is by far my most anticipated release of the next 6 months. The airship mechanics look simple, elegant, and highly functional. Great stuff.

 

[Fenes]

I'll have to see if I can nab the mechanics then for my campaign.

 

[jinnetics]

I'll take 2!

 

[Orius]

Good, a fairly standard and easy to use reference for airships will be good for the game. Especially since I want them IMC.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

These rules are great and simple enough to design lots of Airship variants.

That is ... cool. Simple, easy. Wow. No tracking hit locations.

While I can appreciate simplicity, just one hit location for a ship is too simple for my tastes.

 

[blargney the second]

Wow, so psionics and dragonmarks are about all we need to pull off most of Eberron at this point. It's actually kind of cool how there's ghetto Eberron material for those of us who dig it, even this close after 4e's launch.
