So, airships are neat, right? Forge of
0:01
the Artificer gave us updated rules for
0:04
airships in Dn D, and honestly, they're
0:06
a ton of fun. You have the ability to
0:09
buy an airship or get an airship from
0:10
wherever, and we've had that since at
0:12
least Eberon Rising from the Last War.
0:14
So, like, that's not new. But the cool
0:17
new stuff is there's a bunch of ways to
0:19
soup up your airship, to add new
0:21
stations and facilities and capabilities
0:24
to it. Um, you can add faster boosters,
0:27
you can add cannons to it. Like there's
0:29
a bunch of stuff and it turns your
0:31
airship into a bit of a gold sink which
0:33
god D and D so desperately needs for
0:35
highlevel characters. I've got 100,000
0:37
gold. What do I spend it on for besides
0:39
spell components? Airship. Spend it on
0:42
your airship. It's cool. I really like
0:44
airships. I really like Eberon. So like
0:47
I I think they hit the flavor here super
0:49
well. If you're playing with dragon
0:51
marked characters, there's a unique
0:52
station for each dragon mark on the
0:55
airship that lets you do something that
0:56
nobody else gets to do. And that's just
0:59
super cool. Like the market protection,
1:01
there's a shield station where you can
1:03
put up magical shields around your
1:06
airship to protect it from damage. Like
1:08
that's awesome. That feels so cool. Why
1:11
don't we have that in Spell Jammer? But
1:13
of course, there there's a couple of
1:14
weird issues in the airship rules. Like
1:17
the rules for crashing into things are
1:20
just nuts. Like they're nutty. If you
1:23
run into a creature or an object, the
1:25
the thing that you crash into, the
1:28
airship and every creature aboard the
1:31
airship all take some amount of damage
1:34
based on the size of the thing that you
1:36
hit. Medium or smaller creatures, 2d10
1:40
damage. So, if your airship hits a
1:42
pigeon, like that pigeon is pink miss.
1:44
Like, no surprises there. But the ship
1:46
takes more damage than if you shot it
1:48
with a musket. and everyone on the ship
1:52
has to make a save for half damage
1:54
against 2d10. If you hit a series of
1:58
pigeons in quick succession, it's a TPK.
2:02
You can TPK your party by hitting a
2:05
flock of birds. The ship might be
2:07
perfectly fine and everyone aboard is
2:10
deceased. So, the airship rules are a
2:12
ton of fun, but you you got to read
2:15
those mechanics, man. there. Oh god,
2:18
nutty.
