Stormwrack

Post by NukeHavoc »

I generally don't go in for these environment-specific supplements, but Stormwrack looks interesting. From Amazon.com:
A complete guide to playing D&D in sea and storm. The third in a series of beautifully illustrated supplements focusing on play in specific environmental climes, Maelstrom™ contains rules on play in watery environments. Not only are rules for sea campaigns offered, but rules for including water environments in land-based D&D campaigns and dungeon adventures are also covered. Included is extensive information on lakes and rivers; hazards such as exposure, storms, and waterspouts; races, including non-aquatic races associated with the sea; equipment, including detailed deck plans for ships; monsters; magic, including psionic
elements; skills; feats; and more.
ok, aside from the fact that the name in the description doesn't match that in the title on Amazon, it still sounds interesting. Rules for adventuring in water are always hard to come by, and I particularly like the idea of detailed ship plans -- we definitely need more of those.

Any stats for the effects of large, high-velocity wooly mammals or sudden firey explosions on the typical sailing vessel? :)

Perhaps with the explosions, but I doubt they've anticipated the need for damage caused by plummeting wolly mammoths. lack of imaginative thinking on their part I guess. :twisted:

They should have read Carefully Devised Chaos, by Tanevir Calywyn and Malphas Malaclypse, et. al. :D
