Maneuvers
Full Speed Ahead: The ship moves forward at it’s full speed. Pilot or Captain must succeed at a DC 12 Vehicle Check. Under this amount means ship moves at half speed. A 20 result or higher means ship may move at 1.5 times it’s speed.
Come About: The ship moves forward at half speed and turns 45 degrees in one direction. Pilot or Captain must succeed at a DC 10 Vehicle Check. If failed, the ship still moves forward at half speed but does not turn.
Hard to Port or Starboard: The ship moves forward a quarter of its speed and drops an anchor, turning 90 degrees in one direction. Pilot or Captain must succeed at a DC 10 Vehicle Check. If failed, the ship still moves forward at quarter speed but does not turn.
Full Stop: The ship drops all anchors and immediately stops. The hull takes 2d10 points of damage and all crew must make a DC 12 Acrobatics Check or fall prone.
Ram: Pilot or Captain makes a Vehicle Check against the enemy vessel’s Hull AC. If successful, ship immediately moves straight forward up to 1.5 times its speed and stops if it hits enemy vessel. The enemy vessel takes 1d6 damage for every 2 mph the ship is travelling. The ramming vessel takes half of the damage dealt to it’s own AC. All crew on both ships must make a DC 12 Acrobatics Check or fall prone. A Ship’s Ram equipped on the vessel adds an extra d4 for each d6 rolled. This damage is not dealt to the ramming ship. On a piloting failure the ship still moves its speed but does no damage.
Board: If within 30 feet of enemy vessel, the Captain may initiate the Boarding Action and begin Boarding Combat. Captain makes a contested Vehicle Check against enemy Captain. If a captain’s ship is under half Hull HP they have disadvantage. If a ship has lost it’s sails or helm it automatically fails. If the Boarding Captain wins check, Boarding begins. If the other Captain wins the check, they decide if Boarding begins or not.
