A New Approach

I started this book nearly 6 months ago, without any idea of what an
enormous challenge it would be to complete it. In the time I've spent in
this project, I've experienced two computer failures, two layoffs, a
vacation to Europe, and a vermin infestation.
Yet, here we are! Mission accomplished! I'm so excited to share this book
with you all, as well as take this opportunity to discuss my design
philosophies.
My biggest goal with this book was to produce a suppliment which is
entirely "in game", that is, all references to rules of play are described
from the point of view of somone who is witnessing these rules from
within the game. I wanted to avoid writing a rule book that would
constrain and stifle players and DMs. Instead, I wanted this book to be
fallible, malleable, and delivered by an unreliable narrator. In this way,
DMs and players have a lot more wiggle room, (and a lot more fun!)
discussing the rules and seeing how well they play out.
Furthermore, it answers some very important questions.
"Where would your character even find an airship? And what does your
character even know about them?"
Since this pamphlet is in game, player knowlege and character knowlege
are one and the same. This system makes meta-gaming impossible and
gives the DM freedom to fill in the gaps.
Moreover, these aren't just airships which were found or commissioned.
These are Izzy's Airships, and while mostly new, there is no telling what
went into their construction, what corners were cut, and what's new vs.
what's salvaged from other wrecks.
Finally, the DM and players are free to create a ship of their own, with all
of the quirks and character their heart desires.
Thank you for buying my book, I sincerely hope you like it.

P.S. If you look at the pictures provided, you can see my artwork
improving as I go. It's a remarkable thing to see in retrospect.

 Izzy's Airships À la Carte
W
e, the excellent staff of Izzy's Slightly Used
Airships are proud to present our latest
service, Airships à la Carte. In response to
overwhelming demand, we have invested in a
new airship construction hangar, and the
finest assortment of parts and accessories that
we could salvage from local junk yards.
No longer will the construction of airships be monopolized by
cabals of wizards, or teams of gnomes who are not Izzy.
Custom airships are now available to the masses!
Do come by and see what we have in store!
Our Brochure
The term "À la Carte" is fancy for "from the menu". (And that
fact is honestly a surprise to us! We thought it meant "from a
cart", like the little push cart with all the cakes on it!)
Unlike other vendors of airships, we offer a selection of
customization options on all our airship models which can be
built to the specification to any prospective client. The
document which follows is a list of all the features we offer.
While you might have seen other books, which declare the
"rules" of how airships are built, we at Izzy's Slightly Used
Airships do things in our own unique way. If you want a ship
like the one detailed in this book, you will just have to come
to Izzy's.
2
Contents
Our Brochure contains the specifications of our five ship
classes and organizes their features into the following four
categories.
Hull Selection
The basic shape and structure of your ship.
Propulsion
How does your airship fly? Is it magic? It's probably magic.
Weapons
Pew! Pew! Boooom! Bang! Peeeeeeeooooooooowwwwww....
Kablam-O! You know, the good stuff!
The Trimmings
Luxury options, accessories, gadgets, gizmos, at least twenty
thingamabobs.
Putting it all together
You can assemble a preview of your new airship using the
handy paper cut-outs provided!
But wait, what about magic?
You may have heard from that Xanathar tool that "magic
takes time" or "magic items aren't readily available," blah,
blah, blah. Well, Xanathar doesn't have a master transmuter
named Kaleidoscope Tal'Daresk, or a team of two-dozen
wizards looking for a job while they lay low for various...
reasons. Needless to say, having a huge team of wizards
looking to make a buck tends to speed up the magic item
creation process. So suck it Xanathar.
Don't I need a licence or
something?
What do you think this is? Thay? No, you do not need a
license to fly an airship. But we don't sell a craft unless
there is someone to pilot it off the lot, so either you, or
one of your associates must be trained in the use of air
vehicles, and no, bardic "Jacks of all trade” don’t count.
Do you offer financing?
Adventurers typically have a life expectancy shorter
than Izzy's attention span, so we require payment in
full before the airship leaves the lot. If you need to
finance your airship, you will have to seek a private
loan elsewhere.
Do you offer insurance?
Here at Izzy's Slightly Used Airships we offer
something better than insurance, we offer
assurance. We assure you that our vehicles are in
peak condition, and if anything breaks down, it's
entirely your fault.
 Getting Started
So, you want to build your own airship? Or rather, have us
build one for you? The process is pretty simple.
Initially, you must select your model of choice. Each model
has unique propulsion, hull plating, and accessories.
Next, decide upon the weapon systems. Make sure you
have the number of emplacement points required to
install them.
Third, choose any aftermarket modifications, such as an
illuminated hull, mithril trims, luxury options, retractable
ceilings, etc. Go wild!
The fourth and final step is the creation of your ships
schematics, simplified with the pictures and paper cut-
outs provided! After payment in full, a ship is constructed
at a rate of one day per 250 gp of its final cost.

Airship Models
The Kestrel Class Sloop
Short, sleek, and to the point, the Kestrel is a small service
ship. Its minimal armament and passenger capacity is more
than made up for with its versatility. Perfect for small groups.
The Auroch Class Light Freighter
If you're looking for a commercial ship, then look no further.
Suitable for those with an entrepreneurial spirit, the Auroch
has a cargo capacity that would make sea fairing vessels
blush, and the armament to keep it safe.
The Oroboros Class Caravel
Built with safety in mind, the Oroboros embodies the notion
that slow and steady wins the race. While it may not have the
cargo or weapon capacity of other ships, it is by far the
sturdiest.
The Vulpes Class Elemental Yacht
With an elemental drive core standard on all models, the
Vulpes is built for speed. Perfect for both an emergency
response, or a pleasure cruise.
The Manticore Class Frigate
The only capital ship available for purchase at Izzy's, the
Mantacore, is a versatile model which can be built to suit any
purchaser's specifications.

 The Kestrel
W
ith a graceful wyndwood hull, an open top
cargo deck, and a host of options, this is the
most versatile ship an enterprising adventurer
can buy - other than a capital ship, that is. Of
exotic Lantanese design, the Kestrel is sure to
impress!
A League of its Own
Unlike the other ships, which rely on sails, mechanical
propellers, or magic for their propulsion, the Kestrel takes its
design notes from nature itself. The Kestrel relies on the use
of artificial wings to give it lift and forward motion.
The stock model comes equipped with a set of canvas wings.
Lightweight and agile, these wings let the Kestrel dance upon
the wind. Additional upgrades include wings with mechanical
and material augmentations to better withstand more
hazardous environments, and lastly Izzy's Slightly Used
Airships is proud to announce that we also provide a variety
of elemental enchantments, capable of satiating the most
ravenous need for speed.
A Vehicle of Discretion
The Kestrel is a sloop class vessel and maintains a hull
profile less than 40 feet long. This size ensures that one can
easily find mooring, and that your flights are as
inconspicuous as possible. With the stock ability to land on
water, the Kestrel can dock at a sea or river port if no sky
ports are available.
Landing struts are available for purchase for those needing of
terrestrial landings, and landing talons are available for those
who need to either land on sheer surfaces or latch
themselves directly to other ships.

Hull
Wyndwood
Wyndwood is the most common building material for
airships. Made from the trees which grow in the orchards of
cloud giants, once alchemically treated, wyndwood is
marginally buoyant in air.
Nimbulwrought
Made with the help of Silver Dragons, nimbulwrought is a
shimmering alloy of solid cloud and silver foil affixed to
wyndwood. The resulting material is more buoyant and
tougher than wyndwood, but the magical clouds are bitter,
self-aware, and both unionizing and unionizing. These
elements slow the ship down.
Ether-Fluidic Mithril
Recovered by an adventuring party from a planar eddy caught
between the para-elemental Plane of Minerals and the border
Ethereal, we had just enough to fashion a hull for the smallest
ship we had. A mirror like alloy of mithril and ethereal solids,
Ether-Fluidic Mithril shunts the bulk of the ships mass in to
the Ethereal plane, making it exceptionally fast. However, the
internal supports required for this material does limit the
cargo space. As a bonus however, the material makes
ethereal travel through your ship's walls impossible! It's ghost
proof! (But also, quite possibly made of ghosts.)

Propulsion
The Kestrel is propeled by a pair of animated wings. The
wings also serve as ramps to allow for easy access to the
upper deck. The ship can make sharp 90 degree turns, as
opposed to the standard 45.
Canvas Aileron
Canvas Aileron are the stock propulsion system for the
Kestrel. These wings feature an articulated structure of
wyndwood, which supports a stretched surface of sail cloth.
Canvas Ailerons do not allow the Kestrel to hover.
Articulated Nimbulwrought
A clockwork marvel, the Articulated nimbulwrought, is driven
by a perpetual Gimbal of Mechanus - purchased legally I
might add! These wings weigh your ship down, but it comes
with a phenomenal boost of speed. Due to their Quasi-
Magical nature, movement penalties imposed by strong
winds are halved.
Elemental Airfoil
These bound elemental beauties come in a plethora of colors,
but they all share the same principle of design. Two
elementals are bound into the wings to provide lift and
propulsion to the vehicle. Watch out, if the ship is ever
destroyed, they will escape, and they will be pissed off. But
that’s the price you pay for being able to out run a pegasus.
The magical nature of this propulsion allows the ship to fly
unaffected by wind and weather conditions.
Ships equipped with elemental airfoils require attunement
from their pilots.
Additional Options
Rear Ramp
Normally, entering and exiting the ship is done via the upper
deck. This rear ramp allows for an easy loading and
unloading of the lower decks.
Landing Struts
These retractable skids allow you to land on solid ground -
handy if you can't find a sky-port or a body of water.
Landing Talons
These armatures of dubious legality allow a pilot to test their
vehicular operation skills against an airborne opponent and
grapple ships in mid-air. The mechanics are remarkably like
regular grappling. The struts even allow for the ship to land
on a vertical or inverted surface.

 The Auroch

T
he Auroch Class Light Freighter is the
pinnacle of mercantile design. Compact and
efficient, this ship has already gained the
approval and praise of both the Lord's Alliance
and the Cormyrian Trade Guild, cited as "the
next generation of overland trade".

Adventurous Ventures Custom Options

The Auroch was not designed to be a swift pleasure craft, nor
was it designed to be an attack vessel. The primary objective
of this ship, is the safe and reliable delivery of cargo and
goods. While some may be disappointed by its below average
speed, the ship is still remarkably faster than any terrestrial
alternatives
Customizability
Cargo space isn't always destined to be cargo space. Think of
the empty cargo hold as a blank canvas for any number of
applications. With over 1200 sq. feet to work with, your
options are almost limitless. Customization options for the
cargo hold include luxury passenger compartments, livestock
pens, or any number of our universal customization modules.
Comfort
As merchants ourselves, we know the importance of crew
morale. The two storey castle on the ship already features a
spacious and comfortable command centre. In addition, the
first story space can be built into any number of amenities,
ranging from a break room, a kitchen, to full lodging facilities.
An Auroch shows the world that you take care of your own,
as well as your customers.
Hull
Wyndwood
Wyndwood is the most common building material for
airships. Made from the trees which grow in the orchards of
cloud giants, once alchemically treated, its marginally
buoyant in air.
Ironwrought
Much like Nimblewrought, Ironwrought is infused with a
magical mixture of solid clouds and silver, but unlike
Nimblewrought, its base material is Ironwood, which makes
this hull tougher than a coffin nail. This material is also used
to reinforce the gas balloon into a ridged structure.
The Wreck of the Edgar Fitzwilliam
The wood in this hull has been reclaimed form the wreck of
the Edgar Fitzwilliam, a cargo ship scuttled during a
legendary storm. We soon discovered that this wood is 100%
haunted, and despite our best efforts, the ghosts refuse to
leave. The upside is that the 5 ghosts will crew your vessel for
free. The bad news is that your boat is now haunted.
But hey! You get to be the captain of a haunted ship! You can't
buy exposure like that.

 Propulsion
While the majority of the Auroch's lift is provided by its bag of
lighter-than-air gas, its forward motion is generated by its
propulsion systems
Sails
Just like your mercantile counterparts on the high seas.
These sails are cheap, readily available, and light weight. You
don't need to remove your sails if you install another system,
but they don't provide any increased speed but are very handy
in emergencies.
Aeolipile
A goblin contraption which harnesses steam in a clockwork
device of mechanical trickery, the torsion created by this
artifice rotates a propeller. We've altered the design so that
the heat for the boiler is generated magically with no need to
store flammable coal on board your ship.
Mechanus Wheel Drive
Through a means not best discussed, we have procured a
Wheel of Mechanus. This ever spinning wheel is connected to
a sophisticated gearbox, which transmits the raw force of the
wheel into a variety of different speeds and torques. The
result is a turbine of unprecedented power.
There are some concerns with its use, for if the patented
lead-lined casings for the drive were to ever to fail or be
removed, the wheel would most certainly disappear from this
existence, and be replaced by a very angry Pentadrone
named Apollonius 11-22.33333 (repeating of course). This
engine causes the ship to require attunement from its pilot.

 The Oroboros
F
or those seeking a sturdy, resilient ship, the
Oroboros is a perfect fit. Featuring solid iron
construction, this ship might be light on speed
and cargo capacity, but it can sure take a wallop.
The Oroboros ensures that you and your ship
make it to your destination in one piece.
Goblin Origins
With its dual pontoon design, a stock aeolipile engine, a
central boarding and cargo span, and a predominantly metal
construction, the Oroboros is unmistakeably gobliniod in
design. Its design principles might seem alien at first, but
there is no sturdier ship for its size. Because of its weight
limitations, each of its components has been specially
designed
Central Utility Span
The Oroboros features a unique 10ft wide span in the middle
of the ship. The goblins typically use this span as either a
boarding point, where goblin soldiers would rappel onto
enemy ships, or as a point from which they could unleash
cauldrons of flaming pitch unto targets below. We, on the
other hand, have found it perfect for loading and unloading
cargo, as well as a view point for precise landings. (We are
well aware of which ones are cooler.)
Disclaimer of Usage
We here at Izzy's Slightly Used Airships are not licenced to
sell ships of war, nor would we ever wish to do so. This

Hull
Ironclad
The very notion of an Ironclad Airship defies reason. To
accomplish this task, the nacelles are loaded with casks of
solid clouds, and the harvested, vaporous remains of air-
elementals. While sturdy, this build doesn't leave much space
for cargo.
Wyndwood
By replacing sections of the iron hull with wyndwood, the
ship’s cargo capacity and speed increases at the cost of its
resilience. The ship still retains its iron superstructure and
deck plating.
Adamantine
You read that right! While adamantine is completely
unreasonable as hull plating on larger ships, the Oroboros is
just the perfect size. Since the ship already features a steel
frame construction, the Oroboros is unique in that it is the
only ship whose superstructure could actually support
adamantine plates. This material is exceptionally resistant,
and immune to critical hits. This is a very limited service and
is only available because a Dao baroness has a crush on one
of our employees (it’s totally Granite) and any attempt to
repurpose this adamantine will likely draw their ire.

Weapon Systems
Thirty-Seven
This polished iron cannon was found in the wreck from
which the design of the Oroboros is based. It features a self-
reloading clockwork mechanism, and fires some manner of
adamantine ordinance, propelled by a mix of wytch-powder
and alchemist's fire. Its only ornamentation is the series of 37
tally marks etched into its housing.
Its inner workings are incomprehensible. It appears to
have been designed by goblins and manufactured by
hobgoblins. Sadly, neither it, or its ammunition can be
replicated. It has 13 rounds left in its magazine.
This weapon system is only available to those who provide a
letter of reference from a ranking noble or similar authority.

Washrooms
The inclusion of bathing and laundry facilities can elevate the
squalor of the basic lodgings to humble, if not 'poor'
conditions. If coupled with lodging upgrades or a passenger
compartment, the ship would be downright modest!
Each washroom can service up to 10 passengers throughout
the day.
Wizard's Study
Part of the original design for this ship, the wizard’s study is
the only private quarters in the entire ship. It features a
private toilet, bed, desk, and book shelves. An unseen servant
attends to the needs of the occupant of this room.

 The Vulpes
G
orgeously designed, meticulously crafted and
engineered, the Vulpes is the perfect vessel for
any person whose love of speed is greater than
their own survival instincts. Not being satisfied
with mere velocity, the Vulpes is also a luxury
craft, no expense has been spared.
Recklessness Refined
The Vulpes exclusively employs the use of extradimensional
or supernatural power sources to provide unsurpassed speed
and acceleration. Unlike other ships in our line, each
propulsion system and hull is unique, and built from
legendary materials and items. As such, supplies are limited.
Designed by the most skilled Eladrin shipwrights, every effort
has been taken to ensure that this ship embodies the
pinnacle of luxury. The superstructure of the ship is made
from the seasonal branch shedding of a willow ent. Still
retaining a small semblance of life, they have been trained to
flex and bow under stressful conditions, allowing the Vulpes
to morph its shape and profile into aerodynamically optimal
forms.
Regardless of the ship’s configuration, it demands
attunement from its pilot.

Hull
Each Vulpes is built to order and made from unique

Carceric Dinamantine
Mined from the Tarturain mountain of Othrys, and forged in
the fountains of creation, Carceric Dinamantine forms the
bond which cannot be broken. It is impervious to all damage,
save from a disintegrate spell, artefact, or godly action. It can
only be repaired with a wish spell.
Celestial Leaf-weave
Crafted of the gigantic fallen leaves from the faewild
projection of the Tree of Souls, enameled in the amber of the
Sacred Oak, and cured slowly under the light of the rising
and setting suns of Arborea, the Celestial Leaf-Weave is a
living, breathing ship’s hull. As such, it can be repaired by the
use of conventional healing magic, although such spells are
only half as effective.
Entropic Bronze
An alloy of the ever-shifting chaos of Pandemonium and the
blood steel of Gladsheim, and forged in a fire sustained by
the gossamer dreams of Githerzerai monks, Entropic Bronze
is an immensely versatile material. While inside of this hull
creatures are shielded from the adverse effects inherent to
the outer planes.
Slyvannic-Fludic Mithril
A glorious melding of mithril, quicksilver, frost formed under
the light of a waxing autumn moon, and a single tear of
reunion, Slyvannic-Fluidic-Mithril provides your ship with a
gorgeous, seamless, silver-mirror finish. While not as light as
Ether-Fluidic-Mithril, it does have considerably higher

The Orb of Kaldruin: The ever-beating fire-heart of a
primordial volcano, suspended in a gilded urn of its own
obsidian flesh, The Orb of Kaldruin is a living
embodiment of the tectonic force of fire, locked away and
commanded to propel your tiny boat. Just don't unlock it.
The absolute brutality of this engine allows it to plane
shift to the plane of fire whenever it flies into a volcano, or
the sun.
The Lost Gregale: Throughout history, the North-Eastern
wind has been the doom of many sailors, in retaliation, we
bound them into an engine. Are we kidding? Who knows?
But the North-Eastern wind thought we were kidding too.
This engine's speed is doubled while flying in a south-
westerly direction.
Waves Upon a Forgotten Shore: On the distant and
maddening shores of Lake Hali, the foreign glimmers of
setting twin suns dance a provocative unknowing into the
eyes of those who dare witness them. Unshuttered eyes
blink in reckless anticipation of that which was, and as the
waves crash, a single tear echoes from the shore: "Sweet
Carcosa, lost Carcosa." Unable to divorce itself from what
could and cannot be, the waves herein enshrined waltz to
the ebb and flow of their own eurythmic pulse, moving
with unmatched speed towards the dream of a home they
dare not remember. "Fear the future", they whisper in
cacophony. "Evade the past" they silently scream. When
the hidden moon is fully eclipsed by the false moon: the
white pretender, The Tides of Hali reveal their true form.
As they dance, they seductively discard their veils of
reality, tempting all who gaze upon them with the fruit of
forbidden madness.
The Rock-Candy of Celestia: On one occasion, we were
so nice that an angel gave us rock-candy! Mined just north
of the Lemonade Springs and Candy-Apple Groves of
heaven, the Rock Candy of Celestia spreads joy and cheer
wherever it goes! However, when exposed to sour-salts
distilled from the brine of the river Styx the two
substances mutually annihilate each other in an explosion
visible from space. This explosion is trapped in an
enchanted larder and funneled into a sweet and sour
thrust. If you ever find yourself lost, the ship can always
navigate you back to flavour country.
The Essence of Force
Using only the most forbidden magic from the most obscure
3rd-party chrono-magic sourcebooks, we have forged an
engine which draws its power from the dawn of creation
itself. In the beginning, there was light, and a uni-directional
portal funneling that sheer creative force out of the back of
your ship. We cannot predict the effects on the multiverse
should this drive be destroyed or fall into the hands of
Tharzidun.
Mechanus Chain Drive
The Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus is a plane of existence
which is powered by a series of infinite and perpetually
moving gears and chains. Using nigh-mordencainian deep
magic, we have created a pair of planar gateways which
divert an infinitesimally small portion of Mechanus chain to
our plane of existence. Being of infinite mass, length, and
hardness, we were able to successfully use this miraculous
device as a power source.
This power source does have a few quirks, however. For
starters, the concept of luck does not exist within the
confines of this ship. All decks of cards sort themselves in
order and cannot be shuffled, die rolls come up as the
average number, rounded down (Both in and out of game,
crazy!). The feet of rabbits, badgers, or just about any other
sort of Lucky Feat do not function.
If the lead-lined protective casing of this drive should fail, a
rather unpleasant Marut might arrive. If such an event
occurs, it is best to plead for a last request before you die,
followed by asking for a full recitation of Pi. Flee quickly.
Valhallan Nimbus
By shearing off a snip of Valhalla cloud with a pair of golden
scissors, we were able to capture the sheer essence of grace.
While not only offering exceptional speed and handling, the
nimbus allows its pilot to fly into a thundercloud and emerge
from the closest thunder cloud to their intended destination,
provided their destination is on the same planet. This ability
is usable once every 24 hours.
Customization Options
The Gunnery
“Get thee to a gunnery!” Normally, the Vulpes' sealed cabin
would make the use of mounted weapons completely
impossible. Except the Vulpes is no normal ship. Through
clever artifice and mechanical ingenuity, this component
allows for a single weapon emplacement to be installed on
the underside of the ship.
The Observatorium!
Our chief alchemist has devised the most ingenious solution
which allows a material to be transparent from only one
direction. This mono-directional paste was applied to the
entire cabin of the observatorium. Now, you can sail through
the sky with an unobstructed view of the heavens, while
maintaining total privacy.

 Passenger Seating
Ever wanted to know what a 5,000 gp chair felt like to sit in?
Now is your chance! Each chair is made from genuine mimic-
leather that has been forced into the softness of a baby's
chubby cheeks. These chairs are so comfy, that any long rest
taken in them lasts 4 hours, and any short rest taken in them
also lasts four hours. Quick napping is impossible.
Swanky Lounge
The finest Eladrin designers were commissioned to deliver
the latest styles 5 years in advance. However, due to a quirk
in the fairy magic involved they instead brought us styles 50
years in advance. This one of a kind lounge features an ever-
cold icebox, a fully stocked bar, a dynamic music-box with a
library of over 50 operas, a full bathroom, and a sofa which
can mechanically transform into a bed, or an ejection seat in
a pinch. The entire space is attended to by 2 unseen servants.

Custom Options
Hull
Wyndwood
Wyndwood is the most common building material for
airships. Made from the trees which grow in the orchards of
cloud giants, once alchemically treated, wyndwood is
marginally buoyant in air.
Nimbulwrought
Made with the help of silver dragons, nimbulwrought is a
shimmering alloy of solid cloud and silver foil affixed to
wyndwood. The resulting material is more buoyant and
tougher than wyndwood, but the magical clouds are stubborn
and both unionizing and unionizing. These developments
slow the ships down.
Propulsion
Aeolipile
This ship comes stock with an aeolipile, a contraption which
harnesses steam in a clockwork device of mechanical
trickery. The torsion created by this artifice rotates a
propeller. The amount of coal and water required to operate
this device is already factored into the weight and cost.
Sails
Just like your mercantile counterparts on the high seas. Sails
are cheap, readily available, and light weight. You don't need
to remove your sails if you install another propulsion system.
They don't provide any increased speed, but handy to use in
case of emergencies.
Lightning Drive
Powered by a dozen mephits who owed us a favor, the
lightning contained within magically provides thrust. Not only
does this device give your ship immunity to lightning damage,
but whenever this ship is struck by a lightning bolt, (or similar
spell of 3rd level or higher) its speed is doubled, for the next
minute. This isn't cumulative, and while the ships speed is
boosted in this way, it loses its immunity, and instead is only
resistant to lightning. Unlike other propulsion systems, this
elemental drive requires a 20x20 elemental core as well as a
10x20 thruster. For ships which exceed 2500 sq ft and
require additional engines only the nacelles need be added,
although the cost remains the same. This engine causes the
ship to require attunement from its pilot.
Firefury Engine
Illegal in 5 states, this engine consists of a caged fire
elemental. That's it. Aside from the minimal spells required to
hold the elemental in place, there is no magic to coax
propulsion out of the captured entity - that is, until you feed it
an alchemist’s fire.
Once the creature is fed a vial of alchemist’s fire, this
normally idle engine blasts an explosive conflagration out of
the rear of the ship, propelling it in excess of 120 mph for a 6
second burst. Should this engine be ever destroyed, the once
trapped elemental will unleash a swarm of 1-4 of its kin, who
are hostile to everything forever.

Customization Options
Go on, build the ship of your dreams.
Aviary
Sometimes, you just need an attack squadron of flying beasts
at your disposal. Aviaries provide lodging room for a single
large flying creature, and the storage space required for their
upkeep. These stalls are each assigned their own groom to
tend for the creature. These spaces must be placed against
an exterior wall.
Balloons!
Need more cargo? Just add some balloons! While they don't
take up deck space, they do count as additional deck-space
for the purposes of determining the number of propulsion
sources needed.
Bar / Casino
Billiards, booze, games of chance! Here at Izzy's we pride
ourselves on providing the best and worst experiences money
can buy! Outfit your bar or casino with Lantanese coin cogs,
Three-Dragon-Ante tables, and Waterdevian roulettes!
Available in three styles!
Command Centre
The command centre stock on every ship, it's your choice
whether you place it on the dorsal, or ventral side of your
ship. It comes equipped with a helm, navigational charts, and
a captain’s mess and ready-room. Everything you need to
start your voyage!
Galley
This kitchen can prepare foods of all sorts and can provide
comfortable meals for up to 50 persons daily, wealthy meals
for 25 persons, or aristocratic meals for 5 persons. To
accommodate more people, simply buy more galleys! A
kitchen may not produce foods of varying quality at the same
time.
Diner
Diners are just the right size to provide comfortable food for
up to 25 persons daily (in shifts), without the need of a dining
room.
Dining Room
On most ships, passengers and crew will eat their food
wherever they find a place to sit. For a more refined
ambiance, a dining room can be used. In a modest dining
room, patrons are expected to eat with their hands, or bring
their own utensils. The tables and chairs are sturdy, but
unadorned. A wealthy dining room provides utensils, table
cloths, and service at your seat. Both rooms may hold up to
25 persons at a sitting, for up to 3 sittings per meal.

This library comes fully stocked with books on every major
topic: Arcana, History, Medicine, Nature, and Religion. If one
spends a day reading up on a topic, we are sure you'll feel
inspired the next time you apply your skills to it!
Lodgings
Ranging from a lice-infested stank-cabinet to a well-appointed
stateroom, lodgings are required if you expect to be able to
rest aboard your ship. Washrooms are standard with most
lodgings, except for poor and wretched rooms. While poor
lodgings can be upgraded to include washrooms, wretched
ones cannot. Persons staying in aristocratic lodgings can
dine in their rooms.
Teleportatium
Don't ask where we got this, because we honestly don't know.
This quasi-intelligent room has a maximum of 10 chargess,
and may spend those charges to create one of the following
effects:
Teleport Object 1 Charge: The Teleportarium teleports a
single unattended object (and it's inanimate contents) of
up to huge size, either from the teleportarium pad to an
open space within 1000 ft, or from an open space within
1000 ft onto the pad.
Teleport Creatures 2 charges: The Teleportarium
teleports up to 6 willing creatures of up to medium size,
either from the teleportarium pad to an open space within
1000 ft, or from an open space within 1000 ft onto the
pad. Unwilling characters suffer a teleportation mishap.
The teleportarium regains 1-6 charges each dawn, or each
time it feeds.
Tesseract
It's bigger on the inside! This space is unique, in that it can
weightlessly fit 8 20x20 spaces inside of it! There's only one
catch: If anyone tries to sleep in it, there is a 20% chance that
they will be replaced by an identical synthetic replicant
whose only goal is to seek the unravelling of fate.
Wizard's Study!
Wizards like book shelves and cramped accommodations,
right? Well this room has them in abundance! An unseen
servant is on hand to deal with cleaning the room, and its
chamber pots.

Cranes
Cranes can lift a total of 5 tons off the ground, but the
moment the crane lifts the cargo is counted against your
ship's inventory, so don't bite off more than you can chew.
Cranes can lift 5 tons each and have a cable 500 ft long. If
your ship cannot land, cranes are the most likely method one
would have of onloading and offloading crew and cargo.
Spell Guard
Requires Attunement
A spell guard is a unique magic item, which allows any
wizard attuned to it to cast Counterspell using one of the
spells guards’ charges. The spells range in increased to 500ft
as long as the wizard is standing atop of the sigil. The spell
guard has only 1 charge, which recharges when you roll a 6
on a d6 at the beginning of its user's turn. The sigil is
permanently attached to the ship and will not function if
removed. Components are limited, so each ship is limited to
only two spell guards until supplies increase.
Washrooms
Do you want to avoid communicable diseases? If so, make
sure everyone has access to a washroom. Typically, you need
a washroom for every 20 persons aboard your ship, and
passengers will never share theirs with the crew.
