The Seas of Spelljammer
T
here are two areas of space necessary to
understand when exploring Spelljammer;
Wildspace and the Phlogiston, separated by
an object called a 'Crystal sphere'.
This section will go into depth as to what
these areas are, but the quick and short of it
is that "Wildspace" can be thought of as "normal space"
while the Phlogiston is a chaotic area of space "outside" of
space.
Separating these two areas is a naturally occurring
formation of crystal that seems to be impervious to all
known methods of harm.
Wildspace
All the celestial bodies within a crystal shell float in an
airless void called Wildspace. Conventional interplanetary
journeys around a solar system occur within wildspace.
Wildspace is what comes to mind when we talk of "space"
It is the vast emptiness that lies between the planets and
the stars.
All space inside a crystal shell is wildspace. It is mostly a
vacuum. (More correctly, most regions of wildspace are
vacuum. But the cosmos is a big place, and there are
exceptions to almost every rule, as shown later.)
Wildspace is not truly a void, however, even though it is
often referred to that way. The simple fact that there is
"space" rules out its being a true void.
Within wildspace are the celestial bodies: planets, suns,
moons, asteroids, and a host of other items collectively
lumped together under the heading "planetoids."
Most celestial bodies have an atmosphere of some sort,
although it is dangerous to assume that this is an inviolable
rule.
The Phlogiston
The Phlogiston, outside and between the crystal spheres, is
a turbulent, rainbow ocean of flammable ether. The
Phlogiston is a multicoloured sea upon which float the
various systems within their crystal shells.
The term phlogiston is applied equally to the multicoloured
medium and the entire region surrounding the crystal
spheres.
Phlogiston has varying thicknesses in space and forms
dense rivers between planet-sized objects (such as the
spheres themselves).
Voyagers moving along these paths of concentrated
Phlogiston discover that the greater the density of the flow,
the faster a ship can move.
A ship can speed up and slow down by penetrating deeper
into or raising itself out of these phlogiston rivers, stellar
distances can be covered quickly in such areas.
Further, the ship's speed is partially dependent on the
surface area it presents to the flow, so many ships carry
sails to increase their speed in the interstellar ocean.
Gravity works in Phlogiston the same way it does in
wildspace. Down is directed toward the central axis of the
ship.
Phlogiston is none of the recognized four elemental
matters. It is neither air nor earth, fire nor water. It cannot
be reproduced or brought inside the bounds of a crystal
sphere.
If an attempt is made by physical or magical containment,
the Phlogiston inexplicably dissipates, leaving no trace.
Phlogiston simply cannot exist within wildspace or on the
surface of a planet. Finally, Phlogiston is dangerously
flammable, much like oil-soaked cotton, which poses its
own problems.
Any flame exposed to Phlogiston causes the surrounding
area (including the phlogiston-laden air envelope of the
ship) to burst into flame. This flame expands immediately
to three times its normal diameter and inflicts three times
its normal damage.
For this reason, fireballs, bombards, arquebuses, and any
other weapons which rely on a spark or flame are not used
in the Phlogiston. The effects of various types of flame
exposed to Phlogiston are as follows:
Source Effect
Match
Creates a 5ft ball of fire doing 2d8
damage
Candle
Creates a 10ft ball of fire doing 3d8
damage
Creates a 10ft ball of fire doing 4d8
Lantern

Creates a 10ft ball of fire doing 5d8
Oil Flask

Cooking Fire

Using a Firearm damage of the firearm, centring on the
shooter
Any Fire/Spark-
creates a minimum of a 10ft ball of fire
Like Spell
doing x3 damage of the spell, centring
on the caster
Note: these effects occur immediately. For example,
lighting a flask of oil to use as an incendiary weapon will
cause it to explode instantly.

 Crystal sphere
All wildspace is bounded by crystal shells or crystal
spheres. Inside the crystal sphere is the vacuum of
wildspace, the planets and stars.
Outside the crystal sphere is the rainbow ocean of
Phlogiston and more crystal spheres. The size of a crystal
sphere is determined by the size of the planetary system
inside.
Usually, a sphere has a radius at least twice as big as the
orbital radius of the outermost celestial body in the system
(i.e., the distance from the shell to the outermost body of
the system is the same as the distance from that outermost
body to the centre point of the system). Because of their
great size, the outside of a crystal sphere appears perfectly
flat.
The curvature is so gradual that it is completely
undetectable to anyone close enough to see the crystal
sphere through the obscuring Phlogiston. The spheres
consist of an unbreakable, dark ceramic material of
unknown origin.
Some legends state (and various theologians agree) that
the smooth-surfaced shells were created and positioned by
the gods themselves to protect their worlds from the
ravages of the Phlogiston, which is held to be the prime
matter of the universe.
Less charitable philosophers maintain that such shells
were placed by an even higher authority to keep gods and
men in and confine their activities. Whatever their origin,
the crystal shells are uniform throughout space.
All appear as great, dark, featureless spheres of
unidentifiable matter. The crystal spheres are definitely
solid. They have no gravity along their interior or exterior
sides (an exception to the rule that all large objects have
gravity).
No magic has been found that can damage or alter the
surface of a shell, except for those spells which cause
portals to open. However, this is believed to be nothing
more than an artificial triggering of a natural phenomenon
since portals also occur naturally and seemingly at random.
They are apparently immune to the effects of wishes and
even the wills of the outer planar powers (though this does
not rule out the possibility that the outer planar powers
created them, perhaps they were wise enough to prevent
even their own tampering). The crystal shell is an
impassable barrier to space voyagers unless they are
appropriately prepared or very fortunate.

Quirks of Spelljammer
Many things in Spelljammer do not mimic real-life physics
or behave in a standardized fashion; things that might work
in Wildspace won't necessarily work in the Phlogiston and
vice-versa.
Magic
Spells and spell-like effects that require access to another
plane of existence (e.g. spells like Summon Elementals or
Leomund's Secret Chest) or use a transitive plane to
function (e.g. Blink, Misty step, Teleport, or Demiplane) do
not work in the Phlogiston.
This is because the Phlogiston is inaccessible to any other
planes of existence; there are no exceptions to this rule.
Even magic items that utilize extradimensional spaces
cease to function in the Phlogiston; things like a Bag of
Holding revert to a regular, nonmagical bag when they
enter Phlogiston; its items being inaccessible until the bag
is returned to Wildspace.
As a consequence of this behaviour, the Phlogiston can't be
teleported out of or into; this leaves spelljamming as the
only practical method of transportation in the Phlogiston.
Divine-like Magic
Also of note, magic that requires the contact of higher
powers or extradimensional beings is severely limited due
to the inability of such entities to transmit their power
outside a crystal sphere.
As such, spellcasters who rely on such entities (e.g. Clerics,
Paladins, Warlocks, Druids, or Rangers) cannot regain
spell slots above 2nd level, with more powerful spells being
too difficult to regain in the Phlogiston with mere faith
alone.
Gravity
Gravity does not behave as one would expect in
spelljammer; the force that gravity pulls down towards an
object is constant, always earth-like. So a planet ten times
as large as the earth has the same gravity as a planet one
10th the size of the earth.
Most objects in Spelljammer have their own plane of
gravity, some even multiple; the plane of gravity runs across
whatever is seen as the most practical.
For example, a spelljammers plane of gravity usually runs
along its main deck, so the crew standing on the top deck
face down while the crew on the lower decks face up.
If two planes of gravity intersect, they combine into one
large plane, or the object with the larger mass overpowers
the smaller object, whichever makes the most sense.
This allows smaller fighter or escape craft to land and stay
secured to a larger vessel while also letting larger craft
board an enemy without worry that it may lose its gravity
plane.

Ship Terminology
This section lists terms used later in this document's
"Vehicles and Equipment" section.
Beam Length This is the measurement of the widest part
of the ship from port to starboard (left to right). Important
when dealing with gravity and the air pocket that surrounds
a ship.
Keel Length The ship's length from fore to aft (front to
back). Important when dealing with gravity and the air
pocket that surrounds a ship.
Crew Min/Max These two numbers indicate the minimum
crew required to operate the ship and maximum occupancy
before air quality becomes an issue.
Damage Threshold (DT) An object with a damage
threshold has immunity to all damage unless it takes an
amount of damage from a single attack or effect equal to or
greater than its DT.
Any damage that fails to meet or exceed the object's
damage threshold is superficial and doesn't reduce the
object's hit points. All Ships and Siege Weapons are
immune to Poison and Psychic damage.
Speed Point (SP) This is the total sum of movement
capabilities the ship has, it's a representation of both the
power of the Helm and the maneuverability of the ship.
Maneuverability Class (MC) All ships come with a rating
of A to G, with G being the most sluggish. A ship can only
have a class G rating from taking damage or modifications.
Class F is typically reserved for large flagships or converted
groundling ships, while fighters and escape craft are
usually Class A. Ships cannot be changed in any way to
exceed the A-G classifications. Each category provides the
following benefits:
Class Turn Allowance (TA) Reaction Modifier (RM)
A 3† +8
B 2 +6
C 2 +4
D 1 +2
E 1 0
F 1† -2
G 0† -4
† denotes unique properties
Class A ships do not spend speed points to turn.
Class F ships must move forward one hex at the start of
its turn before turning.
Class G ships spend a speed point to attempt a turn one
face. There is a 30% chance the turn is successful.
Otherwise, the point is wasted.
Reaction Modifier (RM) This value represents the ship's
ability to dodge and avoid disasters. This number is used
when resolving ramming checks and is added to the rolled
check as described in the sections below.
Note that ships that are unpowered, disabled, or otherwise
inoperable do not add their reaction modifier (unless
negative).
The reaction mod is also used to resolve ship-to-ship
initiative and functions the same as dexterity does in
player's initiative.
Turn Allowance (TA) This represents the maximum
number hex faces the ship can turn on a single hex. To
move any additional faces ship needs to move into another
hex.
For instance, for a class C ship with a Turn Allowance of 2
and six speed points to turn right 4 faces it would need to
turn two faces, move forward one space, then turn again
two faces.
*Note class A ships do not spend a speed point to turn.
Tonnage (T) This is a measure of the physical
displacement that a spelljamming ship takes up. For each
ton, you can consider the ship taking up 300 cubic feet of
space. This displacement influences the amount of
breathable air surrounding a ship in wildspace.
Lastly, tonnage is used to determine the ship's dimensions,
crew size, and cargo limit. This is not a measure of the
ship's weight. The actual dimensions of the ship are
unimportant.
Landing (L) This describes whether a ship can land;
usually, a ship can land on water, land, both or none. Some
ships are unique in that they can be submersible.

Combat in space
There are two main types of combat in space, the first
being conventional and the other being ship to ship.
Conventional combat
Conventional combat occurs when you and the enemy are
within 100 yards; conventional combat functions identically
to regular combat.
Ship to ship
Ship to ship combat, however, is further broken down into
three phases; the movement, crew, and firing phase (in that
order) that each ship takes on their turn. A ship to ship
combat round takes 1 minute instead of 6 seconds. A ships
uses its Reaction modifier modifier when rolling initiative.
(For an in-depth flowchart, got to page 30.)
Movement phase
During the movement phase, the helmsperson can position
and move the ship up to the ships speed points, or "SP".
Movement in combat occurs on a hexagonal grid; a ship
can only move into the next hex if facing it, requiring one
speed point to do so.
Lastly, a ship ability to turn is dependent on its Turn
Allowance. A ship can turn multiple times during its
Movement phase but only once per hex in a single round
(regardless of the size of the turn).
Crew phase
PC's can determine what they will do for this phase;
whether it's manning the weapons, facilitating an
emergency repair, healing wounded crew, casting a spell, or
any other such activities that would take a minute or less,
with the captain deciding which actions any NPC's onboard
will take.
Firing phase
During the firing phase, Any or all the siege weapons
onboard maybe fire if they are manned. A siege weapon can
only be fired once per ship to ship combat round unless
stated otherwise.
To determine the modifier for the siege weapon, add either
the Strength or Dexterity modifier ( whichever is greatest)
to the crew member's proficiency bonus. If there are
multiple crew operating the siege weapon, choose the
member with the lowest total modifier.
Critical Hits
Crewed siege weapons often have a chance of inflicting a
Critical Hit on enemy vessels on a roll of 20. Other events
(Ramming, Spells or Crashing etc.) may also cause a
Critical Hit.
When a vessel is reduced to 50% of its Hit Points, it suffers
a Critical Hit. When you score a critical hit, instead of
doubling the damage dice, roll on the following table:
6
Roll Effect
1 Fire
2 Ship Shaken
3 Hull Holed
4 Speed Loss
5 Ship Weapon Damaged
6 Crew Damage
7 Fire
8 Speed Loss
9 Hull Holed
10 Spelljammer Shock
Fire- A fire starts somewhere in or on the ship; if a fire
cannot start (e.g. all lights are magical, the hull is made of
stone, no sails, etc.), roll again. Fire may damage the sails,
burn passengers and cargo, and cause chaos amongst the
crew. Fires aboard a ship deal 1d6 Hit Points of fire
damage per ship to ship combat round; damage threshold
doesn't negate this damage.
Hull Holed- The attack punches a sizable hole in the ship.
DM decides location. If three holes are scored on any
vessel of 60 tonnes or less, its internal structure is
destroyed, and the vessel starts to break apart. For vessels
larger than 60 tonnes, the number of holes needed to break
apart a vessel is 1 per 20 tonnes of the ship, rounded down.
Ship Shaken- All crew not otherwise secured
(Helmsperson is considered secured) must make a DC 12
Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone, or overboard
if on an exposed deck.
Crew Damage- One creature is struck and suffers either
the same damage as the ship or 2d10, whichever is lower.
Choose the target randomly from all creatures. All
creatures within 5ft (generally members of the same group)
must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or suffer the
same damage.
Ship Weapon Damaged- One ship weapon (chosen
randomly) is damaged and inoperable until repaired. The
duration of repair is 1d4 ship to ship rounds. Any crew on
the weapon are unharmed. If no weapons exist onboard the
ship, roll again.
Speed Loss- The ships speed points are lowered by 1d8
for 1d4 ship to ship rounds (to a minimum of 1). If a ship is
already at Speed 1, then roll again.
Spelljammer Shock- The spelljamming helmsperson
must make a Concentration Check. If no personal or ship
damage was dealt to bring about a Critical Hit roll, the DC
is 12. If the helmsperson fails this check, they cannot pilot
the ship for 1d4 ship to ship rounds, after which they are
free to begin piloting again. In the case of multiple
helmspeople, they all must make the save. In the case of
helms that don't require a Helmsperson, the helm itself is
rendered nonfunctional for 1d4 days while being repaired.
If no replacement is available, the ship SP becomes 0.
Movement
Spelljammers face unique problems compared to their sea
fairing cousins when talking about movement.
The vacuum of space and debris pose risks that aren't
present for most groundlings, as well as the matter of what
happens when the ship "sinks".
Piloting
Each minor and major spelljammer helm allows the
individual seated upon it to move a large mass through
space by means of channelling spell energy directly into a
motive force.
A minor helm converts such energy at a rate of 1 speed
point for every three levels of the caster (minimum of one).
A major helm converts at a rate of +1 SP for every two
levels of the caster (minimum of one). At low levels, the
difference between using a minor and major helm is slight.
A third-level wizard will give his ship an SP of +1,
regardless of whether a minor or major helm is used.
However, the higher the caster level, the more substantial
the difference between major and minor helms.
A tenth-level cleric, for example, can give their ship an SP
of +5 with a major helm but only an SP of +3 with a minor
helm.
An individual seated upon a helm can talk and act normally.
The sensation of using the helm is akin to being immersed
in warm water.
As a result of the magical nature of the helm, the
helmsperson using the helm can see things around the ship
as if he were standing on the deck.
The ship becomes an extension of his body and responds
to his demands in movement and maneuverability. The
maneuverability of a craft reflects both the helmspersons
ability and the maneuverability class of the ship.
Spelljamming Stress
Using a spelljamming helm strains the user quite severely;
whenever a creature pilots a spelljamming helm, they can't
cast any levelled spell until they finish a short or long rest.
Jettison
Jettison is a special type of catapult ammunition requiring a
specific type of catapult to fire; when fired into a hex, that
hex becomes littered with jettison.
If a ship moves into or starts its turn in a hex with jettison,
all crew on exposed decks take damage according to the
type of jettison used, each type of jettison has a unique
secondary effect listed in its statistics.
Jettison inflicts no damage to the ship unless stated
otherwise.
Sargasso
Sargasso are areas of the Phlogiston and Wildspace in
which magic fails due to the presence of dead magic zones.
Spells cast within these regions fail to work, magic items
cease to function, including Spelljammer Helms.
As Spelljammer ships approach these regions, magic
seems to flicker and fade as they enter.
Any time a helmsperson tries to power the ship, they must
roll a d100; on a 95+ they can power the ship for one
minute before the sargasso overpowers the helm again. If
they fail, they can try again in one minute.
Lifeboats
Lifeboats are hard-shelled vehicles designed for one
purpose: to bring the occupants relatively safely to the
surface of a planet or rescue ship.
The lifeboat falls toward the nearest gravity well (using a
lifeboat close to a star can have nasty results). The lifeboat
descends according to the rules listed for landing but may
only land.
Once landed, it will never fly again. A lifeboat takes up as
much tonnage as one-half the number of people it can
carry. A lifeboat that occupies 20 people takes 10 tons of
cargo space (including equipment for launching).
Collapsible versions shrink this requirement to 1 ton of
storage, but collapsible lifeboats require 2d4 rounds of
setup before they can be launched. Collapsible versions
cost three times the normal price.
Normally, a lifeboat costs 1000gp with an additional cost of
500gp per person the craft can hold

 Spelljamming Helms
Helms are the primary method of powering vessels. Simply
put, a helm is a magical device that channels magical
energy from some source into movement for the ship it's
attached to. Some helms operate on slightly different
principles, but these are few and rarely seen in the Known
Spheres.
There are several different types of helms of varying types
and abilities. This is just a list of the most common types
within the Known spheres below and the "standard cost"
for such a helm in an active spelljammer port like the Rock
of Bral or Refuge. Note that in other places, the price
quickly becomes what the market will bear and thus can
drop or rise considerably.
Each of these helms provides at least +1 SP (Speed Point),
which measures the helm's power.
Furnace Helm (Wildspace only)
Cost: 10,000 gp
These Helms provide +2 SP and can support spelljamming
for ships up to 100 tons in size. A magical item is placed
within the furnace, where it is then consumed in an arcane
fire (as such, furnace helms do not function in the
Phlogiston).
Anyone can then pilot the furnace helm. An item with a
common rarity provides one day worth of power while
every increase in rarity item provides ten times as long,
with artifacts providing an indefinite duration.
If two items are sacrificed simultaneously, the SP is
boosted to +3, but the helm has a chance to explode (25%).
Some goblinoids are rumoured to power their furnaces
with an incendiary, magical fuel. Some think this fuel might
be related to smoke powder somehow, but reliable reports
are rare.
Minor Helm
Cost: 100,000 gp
These are the most common helms in space, drawing their
power from the spell energy of their helmsperson
These helms provide an SP of +1 for every three levels of
the helmsperson, rounding down (minimum of +1 SP).
They will power vessels up to 50 tons in size.
Major Helm
Cost: 250,000 gp
These function like minor helms but provide an SP equal
to the operators level divided by two and rounded down
(minimum of +1 SP). They will power vessels up to 100
tons in size.
12
Lifejammer Helm
Cost: 75,000 gp
Lifejammer helms are evil abominations that power ships
by drawing on the lifeforce of their victim. Any living
creature can be used; each day, the victim is drained of 1d8
hit points and must make a constitution save with a DC of 5
or die.
Lifejammers function otherwise like minor helms,
providing an SP equal to the victims level divided by three
and rounded down (minimum of +1 SP). A 3rd level victim
would provide +1 SP, for instance, and one of 5th level +2
SP. They will power vessels up to 100 tons in size.
Aside from the victim, the lifejammer requires a navigator,
who may be of any class and who does the actual piloting of
the ship. Lifejammers are often used by neogi, mind
flayers, and the evil humanoid races.
Gnomish Helm
Cost: 50,000 gp
These function just like minor helms but are made from all
manner of strange gizmos and whizbangs "crafted" by the
gnomes of krynnspace. When using a Gnomish Helm, roll a
d10 whenever you take the movement action during ship to
ship combat; on a 1, the helm breaks and must be repaired
over the course of 1d4 turns. They will power vessels up to
50 tons in size.
Pump Helm
Cost: 500,000 gp
A pump helm is a spelljamming helm that must be fed
material to create SP. The material placed in The Pump
will determine the SP that this spelljamming engine
generates (see the following table).
Simply stated, one pound of material can move a
spelljamming ship of up to 100 tons for one hour. After
that, absolutely nothing is left of the material placed in the
helm.

Magic Items
Neverending Barrel of Grog
Wondrous item, Rare
Often, the greatest worry ship captains have is maintaining
a healthy supply of clean liquids for the ship's crew to drink.
One way this is accomplished is by using a neverending
barrel of grog. Grog, a watered-down version of cheap, rot-
gut rum, is not particularly good for the crew, but it will
keep them alive (and not complaining) almost indefinitely.
The barrel has a magical dweomer but remains empty until
it is tapped. When tapped, it needs to be set upright and
lidded.
When the handle of the wooden tap is turned to either the
left or right, a dirty looking, foul-smelling fluid gurgles
forth, filling the cup (or mouth) lying beneath the spout.
The barrel will forever pour forth grog, without a daily
limitation.
(After the fifth glass in an hour's time, an imbiber must roll
a Constitution check with each glass or pass out. If the
check fails, the character falls asleep for 2d8 hours, and
cannot be awakened by nonmagical means).
Neverending Barrel of Salt Pork
Wondrous item, Very Rare
Another worry that ship captains have is storing food safely
on their ships, especially on the long journeys between
crystal spheres.
Food kept in the dark, often damp cargo holds has the
unsavoury habit of turning bad and spoiling quickly.
Therefore, other means to preserve food need to be found.
Salting meats and vegetables is a common practice.
This curbs spoilage, but storing the bulk and the extra
weight of the meat and salt is a problem. The neverending
barrel of salt pork allows the ship's cook to pull up to 100
pounds of salted pork each day (feeding about 50
crewmen).
Bell of Warning
Wondrous item, Rare
The bell of warning is a new arrival to the spelljamming
universe. It is designed to warn the crew when another
ship approaches within ten hexes.
Whether the approaching ship is friend or foe, whether
visible or invisible, spelljamming ship approaches. This
ringing continues for three rounds.
It does not react to creatures, even to those of gargantuan
size.
+1/2/3 Siege Weapon
Weapon, Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare
A somewhat rare item, magically enhanced siege weapons
are a highly desirable addition to any ship. When used, add
the modifier to the roll of all the crew operating the
weapon.
+1/2/3 Ram
Weapon, Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare
A somewhat rare item, magically enhanced rams are a
highly desirable addition to any ship. When used, add the
modifier to the DC of the Reaction save vs your ram.
Animated Siege Weapon
Weapon, Rare
Quite a rare item, animated siege weapons can fire and
reload themselves without the need of crew members to
operate them. The siege weapons attacks are considered
magical and have a +8 to hit.
Box of Preservation
Wondrous item, Rare
These large boxes measure 100 cubic feet, having a hinged
lid on the box's top to allow easy access to the material it
contains.
This box magically preserves whatever it contains
indefinitely. The item permanently maintains its current
temperature, texture, ripeness, etc., for as long as it is
within the box.
Items placed inside the box don't interact with the
Phlogiston; this makes boxes of preservation a great place
to store items like smoke-powder and alchemist fire.
The box of preservation has no limit to the amount of
weight it can hold. Its only limitation is its size.
If a living creature is placed in the box and the lid closed,
the creature enters a state of suspended animation until
removed. When removed, the creature must make a DC 15
Constitution saving throw. If it fails this roll, the creature
dies.

Softwood
4th level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a handful of tree bark)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You attempt to turn one creature that you can see within
range into a soft, spongy lump of wood-like material, similar
to that of a rotting stump.
The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, it is restrained as its flesh begins to grow mossy
and brown. On a successful save, the creature isn't affected.
A creature restrained by this spell may make another
Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns.
If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the
spell ends. If it fails its save three times, it is turned to
softwood and subjected to the petrified condition for the
duration. The successes and failures don't need to be
consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects
three of a kind.
A shapechanger automatically succeeds on this saving
throw.
The softwood lump is immune to all damage. A character
turned to softwood could fall to Earth, and the heat and
impact of the fall would be absorbed by the spell.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the
entire possible duration, the creature is turned to softwood
until the effect is removed. or until the target is brought into
contact with open air for 30 minutes, such as the air on a
planetoid or ship.
Spark
4th level Evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: S, M (Some flint and steel)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
By making a ranged spell attack and snapping your fingers
towards a creature or object, you create a spark of
electricity that materializes at its destination—dealing 4d4
lightning damage, stunning its target and setting flammable
object alight if they aren't being worn or carried.
The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, it is stunned for 1d4 rounds as its nervous
system is overwhelmed. On a successful save, the creature
isn't stunned. A creature stunned by this spell can still take
an action or reaction but not both in one round.
This spell is exempt from the general rule regarding
casting spells capable of ignition in the Phlogiston from
centring on the caster when cast but still creates an
explosion dealing x3 the spell's damage where the spark
materializes.
Create Helm
5th level Enchantment (Ritual)
Casting time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (A chair, stool, or other seat-like
objects as well as valuable metals worth at least 100 gp,
which the spell consumes)
Duration: 8 hours
By casting this spell on an ordinary chair or other seats,
this spell transforms that chair or seat into a Spelljammer
Helm suitable for powering a Spelljamming ship. The helm
this spell creates provides Speed Points at a ratio of 1:3,
similar to a Minor Helm. If this helm is dispelled, the chair
or other seat used for the material component of this spell
is destroyed.
You can create a permanent Helm by casting this spell on
the same seat-like object once every week for one year. You
need not use the helm this spell creates when you cast the
spell this way.

smoke powder.

26
Hadozee
In appearance, Hadozee are quite distinctive: large, roughly
orangutan or chimpanzee-like, sapient apes with
pronounced patagia (limb-linking membranous "wings", ala
a flying squirrel).
This allows "deck apes", as they are commonly called, to
glide and is quite handy in their preferred environment: the
rigging of ships.

your hands.
Gliding. While you are falling, you can use your patagia to
glide. This negates all falling damage and lets you travel 20
feet horizontally for every 5 feet of descent. For you to use
this feature, you must not be wearing heavy armour or any
armour you are not proficient in
Dracon
The Dracons are a scalykind race that have recently
appeared on the fringes of the Known Spheres; in
appearance, they are often likened to dragon or lizardfolk
versions of centaurs
Dracons are herd creatures, and their lives are comprised
of a series of formal rituals designed to allow them to
interact with the herd with no dissension. To humans,
dracon formality is seen as weak and snobbish; this is
superficially supported by the dracon's willingness to flee
or discuss a situation rather than fight. However, more than
one human has been surprised at how effective dragons are
once the herd has made up its mind.
Dracon Traits
Dracon share certain racial traits as a result of their herd-

extra feet instead of the normal one extra foot.
Herd Mentality. During a long rest, you visit each of your
companions to build comradery. Choose up to 6 friendly
creatures you are spending the rest with within 30 feet or
the same inn, campsite, etc. Each creature gains temporary
hit points equal to your half level + your Charisma modifier
(minimum of one).
Dohwar
The Dohwar are short, pudgy, flightless avians bearing a
passing resemblance to penguins. They are shameless
merchants, always looking for an opportunity to turn a
profit. Since the arcane (otherwise known as "Our
Competitors") are considered the greatest merchants of
wildspace, the Dohwar try harder to displace them.
Though the dohwar speak Common and their own tongue,
they rely heavily on telepathic powers for communication
among themselves. In fact, dohwar have pairings called
"mergers", wherein two dohwar stay in mental rapport,
even to the point of finishing each other's sentences. This
drives other races crazy.

Dohwar share certain racial traits as a result of their
mercantile nature.

feet for 10 minutes, while the Dohwar has truesight from
this feature it can not be surprised. The Dohwar can use
this ability once per short rest.
27
 Xixchil
The Xixchil are a race of sentient, mostly-humanoid mantis-
people. Hailing from some sort of Death World, they had to
be smart and work together to survive, eventually taking
over the world when they figured out how to use surgery
and alchemy to reshape their bodies.
They casually tinker with their own bodies all the time,
from the aesthetic - surgically implanted gems and
precious metal - to the functional, like implanted poison-
needle-guns.
