Ship (Stronghold)

A ship is a floating bastion, able to carry crew, passengers, and supplies on long voyages. Some ships are bare or outfitted for war; others are luxuriously appointed, making every journey a pleasure.

Ships are unable to use the disguised/hidden, island, mountaintop, underground, or pocket dimension features. As a stronghold, you may treat your ship as a haven .

Special. The cost of a ship is determined not by its square footage, but by its entry in the water vehicles table (see Table: Water Vehicles in Chapter Four: Equipment of Adventurer’s Guide).
