Message: <blockquote data-quote="twofalls" data-source="post: 2190120" data-attributes="member: 23718">I have to design a crew for my players Cog, the Hyperion. They hired a Captian, a first and second mate, a cabin boy for the captain, and a ships cook who also handles inventory. The ship is a cog, and using Kalamar rules for the vessel its a Colossal Merchantman with a standard crew of 35. I'm looking through the 3.0 D&D Arms and Equipment guide in the Mercenaries section. The lightest fighter is a light skirmisher, but I'm not sure that would really be the equivalent of a sailor. Both would have to be skilled at what they do. A sailor however wouldn't require the gear that a soldier would be expected to have. Pay per day is shown as 2sp. I use a silver standard in all my games (all gp values are actually sp values) so that makes it 2cp. Does this sound fair as a daily wage for 30 sailors, 60 cp or 6 sp a day?Also, does anyone have any ideas about prices for berthing a vessel? I decided to charge 1 sp per foot per week at a secure and safe harbor. Is that out of line? I'm going to pay a cabin boy 1/2 a sailor's wage, the second mate x4 a sailors wage the first mate x7, and the captian x10 with a bonus going to all the officers of either 3% of the vessels profits, or 50 sp per month, which ever is higher. Any comments?</blockquote>
