Features

Mast and Rigging - Passive

There are many ways that characters can gain a height advantage or reposition during a battle on the ship. Any character can escape to a Close distance vertically with an Agility(14) roll. All attacks made from the rigging or from height gained by climbing around the ship are made with advantage.

What are the sailors in the tops doing during the fight? What is there to climb on and swing from?

The RAS Windfall is a sizable frigate, built for cargo capacity without sacrificing speed or weaponry. The ship soars through the sky like the most graceful of birds, sails billowing as topsfolk climb and swing along and between the three upward-facing masts and the two that emerge from the ship’s sides, one port, one starboard. On the foredeck stands Commander Augustus Kaine, a broad-shouldered human with a growing reputation for both valor and efficiency. He leads the troops with grace and ease, assisted by his orc First Mate, Lt. Commander K’Less Surehand.

The ship’s magical engine produces a constant low hum that fades from the notice of most aboard after a few hours. A few other passengers come and go from watching the skies on the deck to the passenger area below deck, which includes a common area, a small galley, and your rooms. The sailors have given you a somewhat icy reception, not pleased to have adventurers serving as their security rather than fellow sworn soldiers, and established that you’re forbidden to go to the engine deck or the hold.
