Here are the most common ships found in the Sea of Fallen Stars.

Name	Caravel
Length Beam Draft Build time	70ft 20ft 5ft 5 months (30,000gp)
Propulsion Speed (2 masts) Speed (3 masts) Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sail (2 or 3 masts) 20ft (48 miles) 30ft (72 miles)  poor 15/30/50/0 180 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large weapon	The Caravel is used by the nations of Cormyr, Sembia, and Impiltur extensively, and is somewhat less common in Turmish and Chondath. It has two or three masts and square sails.

Name	Coaster
Length Beam Draft Build time	60ft 20ft 5ft 5 months (30,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sail (2 masts) 20ft (36 miles) poor 12/25/40/0 100 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large weapon	Also called a round ship, this is a small merchant ship that hugs the coast. This sailing ship is fitted with 2 masts and triangular sails, with the rudder hanging from one side. Normally there is only a small sterncastle. A coaster is slow and not tremendously seaworthy, but it can carry large amounts of cargo with a smaller crew than a galley. Coasters are common in Turmish, Chondath, Chessenta, and Aglarond.

Name	Cog
Length Beam Draft Build time	85ft 20ft 4.5ft 4 months (20,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails (2 masts) 20ft (48 miles)  poor 10/15/20/0 180 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large weapon	The cog is a larger, improved version of the coaster, able to make ventures into the open sea. Like the coaster, it’s a sailing ship with two masts, but the cog employs square sails. There is normally one deck an fore- and sterncastles.

Name	Carrack
Length Beam Draft Build time	115ft 25ft 6ft 7 months (40,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sail (3 masts) 40ft (96 miles) Average 50/120/300/0 350 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 3 large weapon	The Carrack is seen rarely as a merchant ship, it's primarily seen on the Inner Sea as a warship of the richer nations/ city states. Its large size, cargo capacity, speed, and multiple weapons mounts, make it one of the most feared warships on the sea.

Name	Fishing boat
Length Beam Draft Build time	20ft 8ft 1ft 2 weeks (1,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sail and oar (1 mast) 15ft (36 miles)  good 2/4/10/0 5 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/30 5/5/10 5/5/15 none	This is the standard small sailing vessel used throughout the Inner Sea.

Name	Drakkar
Length Beam Draft Build time	100ft 20ft 2ft 4 months (20,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails and oars 30ft (36 miles) average 20/80/180/60 40 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large weapon, ram	This is the largest of the Northmen’s longships also knows as a dragonship. Although a single mast can be raised, oars provide the main source of power. Because there is not much room on board for many supplies, or sleeping quarters, the Drakkar keeps close to shore where it can put in for the night.

Name	Dromond
Length Beam Draft Build time	175ft 15ft 4ft 4 months (20,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sail and oars 40ft (48 miles) poor  170/250/400200 90 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/50 5/5/20 5/5/25 3 large and ram	This ship is the largest of the Chessentan galleys. Although it boasts one or two masts and triangular sails, the main power comes from the 2 banks of 50 oars per side. One man per oar on the lower banks, three men on upper bank. A dromond can be used for both shipping and war. They beach at night like all galleys, since supplies and sleeping quarters are limited. Dromonds are commonly from Mulhorand or Chessenta.

Name	Galleon
Length Beam Draft Build time	130ft 30ft 8ft 9 months (50,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sail 50ft (120 miles) Average 80/200/500/0 500 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/60 5/5/25 5/5/30 4 large weapons	The galleon is the largest and most advanced sailing ship on the Inner Sea. It’s is a sail-driven ship with three masts. There are normally three decks running the length of the ship, while the castles for and aft have two decks. Galleons are most frequently used in Cormyr, Sembia, and Impiltur. However, they are not common even there.

Name	Great Galley
Length Beam Draft Build time	130ft 20ft 4.5ft 5 months (30,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails and oars 50ft (72 miles)  average 40/180/200/140 150 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/40 5/5/20 5/5/25 3 large weapons and ram	The great galley is an improved version of the dromond. It’s main power comes from its 140 rowers and it’s three masts; this combination gives it better speed and handling. Like all galleys, the great galley is a coastal vessel rarely venturing into open water. This ship, like the dromond, is most common among the southern lands of Mulhorand and Chessenta.

Name	Knarr
Length Beam Draft Build time	60ft 15ft 2ft 1 month (8,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails and oars 30ft (36 miles)  good 8/10/14/12 40 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/30 5/5/10 5/5/15 1 small weapon	The knarr is a small cargo ship which is used in the northlands. It has a single mast and a square sail. The ship is relatively seaworthy, and can be used to make long (if not comfortable) sea voyages. Its flat bottom makes it useful for sailing up rivers and it can be beached easily.

Name	Longship
Length Beam Draft Build time	75ft 15ft 2ft 1 month (15,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails and oars 30ft (36 miles)  good 40/70/140/40 50 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large and ram	This is the standard northman’s warship. A typical longship has 20 oars per side, each worked by a single man. There is also a single mast and square sail. A longship is fairly seaworthy and can sail across the open sea when necessary.

Name	Halruaan skyship
Length Beam Draft Build time	78ft 20ft 9ft 12 month (700,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails and magic 50ft (120 miles)  good 10/20/70/0 15 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large	Of all the wonders seen in Faerun, the Halruaan skyship is one of the most prized. It's ability to sail in the air as well as the water generally is considered compensation for it's low cargo capacity (Cargo capacity is not limited by space in the ship, but it's ability to fly. With 15 tons of cargo its maximum flight height is 100ft). The ships horizontal movement is at the mercy of the wind, although its sails and supplemental magic allow it to maneuver surprisingly well. Its vertical movement is controlled by its magic, and allows it to rise or fall at a speed of 45 feet.

Name	Dhow
Length Beam Draft Build time	60ft 15ft 4ft 4 month (12,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails (2) 45ft (108 miles)  excellent 5/20/40/0 90 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 large weapon/ 1 small weapon	The Dhow is a moderately sized sailing vessel native to the seas around Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan. It is normally constructed with a small sterncastle. It's smaller cargo hold is compensated by being a very maneuverable and fast ship.

Name	Pinnace
Length Beam Draft Build time	50ft 10ft 4ft 3 month (9,000gp)
Propulsion Speed Maneuverability Crew Cargo	Sails (1) 45ft (108 miles)  excellent 4/9/20/0 50 tons
Hull Deck Mast Weapons	5/5/45 5/5/20 5/5/25 1 small weapon	Pinnaces, also called "Coastboats" or "Wave Runners" are small fast sleek vessles that can survive the open sea, but are just as comfortable hugging the coasts. A pinnace is fully decked, but it's sterncastle is hardly woth the name; it's little more than a cramped cabin.

Name: Name of the class of ship.

Length: How long the ship is

Beam: Width of the ship

Draft: The minimum depth of water necessary to float a ship.

Build time: How long it takes to build a new one, and the cost.

Propulsion: How it moves

Speed: First number is movement per round, second is how far it can move in a day (24 hour period).

Maneuverability: How well the vessel moves: worse to best clumsy, poor, average, good.

Crew: The first number is the absolute minimum number of men needed to operate the ship; less than this number and the ship is effectively crippled. The second number is the average or normal number of crew a ship needs to operate and have men for all critical positions for all watches, and have the absolute minimum safety margin and redundancy. The third number is the absolute maximum number of bodies that can be crammed on a ship. When you consider the risks of sailing and the need to have extra bodies to fight pirates the normal number of crew found on ships is somewhere between the second and third number. The fourth number is the number of men required to man the oars.

Cargo: How much cargo, weapons, and supplies a ship can carry.

Hull: (AC/hardness/HP)

Deck: (AC/hardness/HP)

Mast: (AC/hardness/HP)

**AC mention above is if your next to or standing on the ship. See below for combat modifiers.

Weapons: number of weapons a ship can carry/ has space for on deck.

Weapon	Cost	Damage	Critical	Range	Weight	Crew
Ballista	500gp	3d6	19-20/x3	120ft	800lbs	1
Ballista bolt	1gp				9lbs
Catapult, heavy	800gp	6d6		200ft (min 100ft)	2,400lbs	4
Heavy shot	1gp				50lbs
Catapult	550gp	4d6		150ft (min 100ft)	1,500lbs	3
Shot	1gp				25lbs
Catapult, light	400gp	3d6		100ft (min 50ft)	800lbs	2
Light shot	1gp				20lbs
Ram	300gp	5d6			120lbs

Ballista’s and light catapults are light weapons. Heavy and normal catapults are large weapons. 2 light weapons can be instead of one large weapon.

 Ship Combat

There are two different types of ship combat: range combat and ramming.

Range combat has several modifiers

condition	modifier
Target is moving	AC +6
Attacker is moving	-6 to hit

In other words if both ships are moving the hull of the target has an effect AC of 17.

Size of ship. The bigger the ship the easier it is to hit.

Size of target ship	modifier to hit
0-30	-2
31-60	-1
61-90	0
91-120	+1
121-150	+2
151 +	+3

Proficiency with weapon does effect as normal (all ship board weapons are Martial weapons and covered by the Martial Weapons: Siege feat (yes I just made it up, I'll give particulars of it if anyone want to take it.) )

Ramming uses the conditional modifiers above plus the modifiers for the two ships maneuverability:

Ships maneuverability rating	modifier to targets AC and to your to hit
clumsy	-2
poor	-1
average	+1
good	+2

For example: a Drakkar (maneuverability average) tries to ram a Coaster (poor) the to hit AC would be calculated as follows:

Condition	Modifier	AC
Base hull AC		5
Target is moving	+6	11
Attacker is moving	-6 to hit	17 (-6 to hit is basically a +6 to AC)
Coaster is 60ft long	-1	16
Target maneuverability is poor	-1	15
Attacker's maneuverability is average	+1 to hit	14

The only modifier the Attacker gets to his roll is 1/2 (rounded up) of the helm's man has Navigation Skill. (Base Attack Bonus, dexterity modifiers do not figure in.)
