Message: <blockquote data-quote="Weiley31" data-source="post: 8743168" data-attributes="member: 7017196">Nope!The only thing they have listed for the Spelljammer ships are HP, Crew, Damage Threshold, Speed, Material(AC), the weapons listed on there, Speed, Keel/Beam, Cargo, and Cost.The weapons are listed with their own Armor Class, Hit Points, Costs, and how Many actions it takes to use said weapons. That's it. No mention of helms/Sails(for ships that it makes sense for), or stuff like that.COMPARED TO: [URL unfurl="true"]https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/UA_ShipsSea.pdf[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dndbeyond.com/vehicles/sailing-ship[/URL]Not a single mention of stuff like Captain, Quartermaster, First Mate, Bosun, and other positions. There is a sidebar style box on pg.25 of the Astral Adventurer's Guide that states Shipboard Weapons are better for far away targets and when in close range, your PC's weapons/spells are better. Now, considering the Spelljammer ship weapons require more than one action to load/use, that makes sense...........................................Unless you have Acquisitions Incorporated/Ghost of Saltmarsh, which states that Ships can make THREE actions along as they have a high enough crew levels. Which means that using Shipboard Weapons won't "actually" be that annoying to use compared to how it was stated earlier.Also: no Spelljammer ships have any ability scores. Not even STR/DEX/CON that ships usually have scores in. And of course, nothing is mentioned of stuff like Crew Quality scores, Downtime, Ship upgrades or even the possibility of a Mutiny.Honestly, if it probably wasn't for the 64 page count, it's quite possible that the GoS ship rules would've been reprinted.So yes, Ghosts of Saltmarsh will greatly enhance your 5E Spelljamming in a number of aspects.</blockquote>
