[QUOTE="Emperor Valerian, post: 2372964, member: 15043"] I love the ideas for the ships and their names! Here's the composite idea I have of the hobgoblin vessels from what everyone has said: These ships would tend to be rather large, with massive crews. They would likely have oars in addition to their sail power, as a backup in case they are demasted, or in calm. They would mount quite afew guns in broadside, though they would mount their largest and most powerful cannon on their foredeck, above their massive ram. And I love the idea of the orcs using longships. Officially, that idea has been stolen :) As for the elven ships, here's a stat line I made up tonight for the xebec, the largest of the elven warships: [b]Elven Xebec[/b] Large Warship (Elven) Draft: 2 fathoms Structural Dice: 7d10-7 (35 sp) Hardness: 6 Manueverability: 0 (+1 elven) Speed: 150 ft./15 knots Turn Rate: 4 AC: 9 (-1 size) Weapons Fore: 2 bronze demi-culverin Weapons Aft: 2 bronze demi-culverin Weapons Broadside: bronze Culverin x16 Damage: Demi-Culverin 1d4 Culverin 2d4 Special Qualities: Elven – This ship has increased speed (+2 knots) and manueverability (+1), in return for reduced hull strength (-1 per SD).
