03-28-06, 07:52 PM i am a DM new to the Eberron world, and i was wondering: do airships have to be collasal size?
it seems to me that you could design an airship that was the size of a dingy, or a small boat. i was wondering because my characters want a small and fast airship to carry the four of them plus supplies. i was thinking a two-mast ship size, or maybe even smaller
please help
:confused:

Seems to work out and you don't need to have 50+ people to crew your ship

Zilargo will most likely have to build it for you, & House Lyrandar will certainly be interested in why your players need an airship.

Unless one of your players is a member of House Lyrandar. Then he should think about taking levels in the Windwright Captain so he can automatically gain the use of an airship.

do windwright captains have 2 have a dragon mark?
it seems that if u can control elementals and can pilot boats, then they can pilot their own ship
if u pay off Lyrandar, then the'll ignore u (i hope), and so i plan to charge 400 gold 4 the boat and 100 gold as bribes to ignore the building by Lyrandar

04-03-06, 11:27 AM Smaller air vessels are part of a certain Eberron module. If you want to stay true to such a release, which is entirely optional of course, keep to the Blimp theme. Slow and unmaneuverable, and entirely enclosed.

Yes. WWC's not only are required to have the least version of the Mark of the Storm at a minimum prereq, they must also have selected the Wind's Favor ability.

Of course, you don't have to have a dragonmark to fly an airship, but having the Mark of the Storm gives House Lyrandar pilots a distinct edge.
