| ====== Ship Qualities ====== | ====== Ship Qualities ====== | ||
| **Beachable:** The ship can be beached with little or no damage, and can be pulled back off a shelf of land by an experienced crew. Beachable ships tend to be rowable, although some smaller sailing vessels have this quality. | **Beachable:** The ship can be beached with little or no damage, and can be pulled back off a shelf of land by an experienced crew. Beachable ships tend to be rowable, although some smaller sailing vessels have this quality. | ||
| - | **Stealthy:** The ship is painted black, with black-dyed sails, and possesses other innovations for night time operations. Stealthy ships tend to be designed and built for speed, speed, and more speed. Vessels modified to be stealthy tend to be stripped of the amenities, down to the bare essentials. | + | **Coastal:** Ships built for inland or coastal waters are built different than ships designed for open or oceanic waters. Coastal ships tend to have shallower drafts and can carry more top-heavy cargo. Their hulls are designed with special draw points for towing, when necessary, and are often Beachable. |
| + | |||
| + | **Frigate:** The ship has been built or rebuilt in such a way that it is a warship. Frigates tend to have little room in the way of cargo, but maximize weapons and marine space. They also tend to be armored to some extent, although they tend to prefer speed and weapons over armor. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Maged:** The ship has had a mage present during construction, to imbue the vessel with arcane-resistant energies. The vessel also can sail with little to no wind, and its weapons may have arcane qualities. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Merchant:** It will be maximized for cargo, while still maintaining basic ammenities. There tend to be more holds with greater capacity, as well as smaller holds for more specialized cargos. | ||
| **Oceanic:** Ships built for the open seas are built different, than ships designed for inland waters or near-shore waters. Oceanic ships tend to have deeper drafts, and are designed not to capsize in rougher waters. Ships with this quality tend to carry sextants and navigational logs that are extremely valuable, and closely guarded. | **Oceanic:** Ships built for the open seas are built different, than ships designed for inland waters or near-shore waters.

They also tend to be armored to some extent, although they tend to prefer speed and weapons over armor. | + | **Raider:** The 'Raider' designation is generally given to oar-powered vessels, and indicates a high number of oarsmen that also double as fighters. It can also indicate a pirate vessel with a large number of crew, or military vessels with high numbers of marines. |
| - | **Inland:** Ships built for inland waters are built different than ships designed for open or oceanic waters. Inland ships tend to have shallower drafts and can carry more top-heavy cargo. Their hulls are designed with special draw points for towing, when necessary. | + | **Runner:** It will be stripped of all amenities and have reinforced sails, mast, and keel. A runner ship will be built for speed, with a significantly reduced cargo hold. |
| - | **Maged:** The ship has had a mage present during construction, to imbue the vessel with arcane-resistant energies. The vessel also can sail with little to no wind, and its weapons may have arcane qualities. | + | **Stealthy:** The ship is painted black, with black-dyed sails, and possesses other innovations for night time operations. It will often have muffles that interfere with high rates of speed, and is designed for stealth above all else. |

| Priests of Olorin that engage in battle, or choose not to wear her colors, are free to act on their own. Attacks against these warrior priests are allowed by the Sea Goddess, so long as the priest fights honorably. Such warrior priests cannot invoke Olorin's Wrath after they are injured or harmed by enemy combatants. Priests of Olorin may attack one another with impunity, however, as they can somehow identify one another despite disguises, tricks, illusions, and the like. | Priests of Olorin that engage in battle, or choose not to wear her colors, are free to act on their own.
