General Purpose Water Vehicles
Piloting a water
vehicle is covered by the Drive
skill. Because of their size, most large boats are more likely to be used as places to stage an adventure rather than as a
vehicle to get around.
Long and sleek, this expensive and high-powered boat is designed to move fast and look good. It is commonly used for smuggling cargo between ports that are not likely to stop something that obviously belongs to an "upstanding citizen." A cigarette boat is two squares wide and eight squares long.
Fishing trawlers are found around commercial fishing ports. They are huge boats with most of their space dedicated to equipment that harvests and stores fish. They are slow, but handle well in rough water (+2 bonus on Drive checks in rough seas). A fishing boat is four squares wide and sixteen squares long.
Common around ports,
tug boats help
guide larger vessels to and from the docks. They are slow but incredibly powerful, being able to nudge huge ships with their oversized and overtorqued engines. A
tug boat is four squares wide and eighteen squares long.
