Seamanship

From ElanVital

Basic Facts

Skill Definition: Seamanship is the ability to steer various water vehicles. For the sake of ease and simplicity, this skill involves all water-based vehicles, which is basically anything from piddly little sailboats to full-sized Militia ships.

Common Uses: The Navy makes the most use of sailing, but there are also many private ship captains in Fort Solomon.

Rule Information

Rule Notes: Seamanship needs to only be rolled when confronting an unusually dangerous circumstance, such as a road obstacle, unusual speed or nasty weather; in normal conditions, one can assume a sailor with any skill is successful in going from point A to point B.
Common Modifiers: Seamanship is typically rolled at 0, but the immediacy and difficulty of the environmental circumstances involved should be considered for a modifier.
Counterskills: Any other vehicular skill, if racing. (Keep in mind speed limitations of the transportation.)
