''These are draft rules for dealing with ship-based exploration. They assume a hex grid sized for 1 day increments (roughly 60 miles). They also assume that you're mostly coastal.''

Every day, roll for weather (use Weather table) and, if the result isn't "Storm" or "Bad Storm", for events (using the Event table). At specific points during the journey, the DM may have fixed-location, 100% probable events. Those days, still roll for weather, but that modifies the fiction rather than any normal rolling.

=== Storms ===
Storms are special weather events that serve as the most common hazard at sea.

==== Storm Roles ====
Each ship needs 3 roles filled. If a PC doesn't fill a role, an NPC fills it. Ships with expert crew have NPCs that roll with +4 across the board. Regular crews have +2 across the board, and undisciplined crew roll at +0. These mostly influence storm performance.

'''Lookout''': Makes Wisdom (Perception) checks for hazards during storms. Determines how much warning the helmsman/crew has to react.

|9 or less
|No warning. Navigator is at disadvantage.
|-

|Some warning. No special effect.
|-
|15+
|Lots of warning. Navigator is at advantage.
|}
'''Helmsman''': Makes either Dexterity (Initiative) checks or Constitution (Athletics) checks to steer the ship during storms. Determines how bad the results could be (modified by crew).

'''Sailmaster:''' Makes Charisma (Persuasion or Intimidation) checks to coordinate the crew during storms. Good results reduce the damage done. If the crew has low morale, roll at disadvantage. If they have high morale, roll at advantage.
