I was looking over the Players Hand Book and the Dungeon Masters handbook and i cannot find the prices for boats. It only shows how far they can go per hour/day. Can someone give me the gold charge for different boats?

Thank you...

Mercenaries (1st level warrior) are 2sp per day.

A horseriding Merc is 4sp per day

a Merc leader (2nd level Warrior) is 6sp per day (+3sp per extra level)

Laborers (unskille) are 1sp a day

I dind't find the cost of sailers, though I'd guess they'd probably be 2sp a day also.

Also, you could steal your first boat, if you don't want to pay for it, but then youbecome a pirate, and evil, if your not already evil.

cold_fusion16,
You should try picking up the Arms & Equipment Guide. It has all kinds of stuff on boats.
