Airship Combat

Attacking an Airship

To attack a ship, Player makes an attack roll against the ship itself. If the attack does not hit and the player is using a cannon, they must roll a d100 to see if the cannon backfires. If the player has a proficiency in cannons, they get advantage on their d100 roll.

• 1-10: Cannon backfires, player must succeed on a DEX 15 to only take 1/4 damage, otherwise takes 1/2 damage of the ammunition.
• 11-25: Cannon misfires and an action must be taken to reset it.
• 30-100: The cannon simply misses or fizzles out before hitting its intended target.

Shields and Defenses

If the ship has a shield, it can use its reaction to put it up and take no damage. The shield will last for one more round before diminishing. It will then take another round to recharge before being deployed again.
The crystal core of Feywild airships maintains its health and stability. As the ship is damaged, it will try to conserve power and repair things using magical defenses. If the crystal core itself is overpowered or attacked directly, it will also damage the ship. Each round the crystal core is operable it heals for 3d20.
