As for my own goals in my homebrew, the combat will lead to boarding very quickly. I might have one or two closing rounds, where the PCs can do things like help with the sails, or prepare for boarding, to give them or their ship an advantage over the other. Otherwise, I will assume the ships are run at a competent level, no need for rolls. During on-ship combat, I will have events that happen every round, which will have effects. "Ship is rammed" means that anyone on the rigging must make a Dex or Str save to avoid falling. "Cannon Fire" Means that everyone makes a Dex save to avoid shrapnel.I imagine I would personally enjoy the kind of stuff you are laying down, but it is a bit too detailed for my players, who want to get to the "good stuff" as quick as possible. They are not big on tactical ship-to-ship combat.</blockquote>
