[QUOTE="Weiley31, post: 8753985, member: 7017196"] Considering there is a legit sidebar in the book that pretty much goes "Yeah you got shipboard weapons, but honestly your PC's weapons/spells are totally better so stick with those unless the target is too far away.* I'm not surprised. Then again, this is also coming from a book that is saying that Wood (AC of 15 for Spelljammer ships) is way stronger than Ceramic(Which is an AC of 13 for Spelljammer ships. But I'm not exactly sure how "fragile" Ceramic is in general so perhaps that's why and I'm just not realizing it.) Of course, if your entire crew is composed of Giff, which ignore disadvantage on long range attacks due to their Firearm Mastery, then you can pretty much snipe fools with a Cannon. (Don't judge me, the mental image is hilarious and terrifying all at once) Hmmm, now I'm wondering if crew races matter on a ship in that regard. The only thing I can say on the matter of Ship HP damage is that it's treated like the whole notion that "HP isn't meat" debates that were all the rage amongst the hot topic kids on here. Treat it like that. Honestly too much technically detail/thinking about these just eats up too much mental energy and slows down dice rolling. [/QUOTE]
