06-23-04, 03:53 PM well, i really think that the coolest thing in eberron is the addition of AIRSHIPS but all the bok describes it as id "similar to a sailing ship" well whoop de do, thats way to generalized for me. so i ask you this, are there any airship luxury liners that are huge??? any speedy airships??? im mean they all can be EXACTLY the smae size and speed, thats not HUMAN right???

06-23-04, 10:38 PM I expect we'll see some more types as more sourcebooks come out. This is a good idea for a webenhancement too - imagine the huge Titanic-sized airship and all the adventures that could tie around that....

Cheers,

06-24-04, 03:45 AM Well if you don't want to wait for the rules to come out for them in future source books you can simply use the rules for vehicles in the Arms & Equipment guide. Thats what I did in my campaign and they work quite nicely. Just create the vehicle like its a normal ship and then give it a fly speed a little bit faster than a dirigible or zeplin and presto you have an airship in a pinch.

06-25-04, 04:16 PM The thing though is that airships are not that common to really have varients built by Zilargo (unless you intend to design and build one yourself). The design/testing process of creating varients would take years if not decades to perfect the final product, airships are a very recent thing.

06-25-04, 09:48 PM Well, they are a recent thing if one decides they are...but what would happen if they developed airships ohhhhhhh about two hundred years earlier?

What kind of airships would we have today?

06-25-04, 10:36 PM I noticed DigitalSoul's avatar, while reading this thread, and suddenly I'm picturing airships designed for war guarding a large deathstar like airship filled wall to wall with archers and wizards firing out of small slots.
:devil:
