Larger vessels require
the skills of a
character with shipbuilding proficiency,
an AREA outside the province of underground
exploration.
The time period required to build a boat
depends on its size.
As a general guide, the boat requires
one week of construction time per foot of length.
Two characters with boatwright proficiency
cut this time in half; three reduce it to one third, etc.
A max. of one boatwright per five-foot
length of the boat can work on the vessel simultaneously.
The basic boat includes the hull, masts,
deck, and benches as
required. Additional features such as
a cabin or sealed hold add
about a week apiece to the construction
time. Characters without
boatwright proficiency can aid the boatwright
in construction, but
it takes two such characters to equal
the time savings that one
additional skilled boatwright would provide.
Boatwright, Equipment: The boatwright
needs to make a major investment
in tools or facilities, and needs to choose
his loc. with
care. With the exception of kayaks,
canoes, and small rowboats, <make entry for kayak
& canoe in the PH equipment lists>
boats must be built close enough to a
body of water that they can
easily be launched.
The amount of space a boatwright needs
is roughly equal to the size of the boat being built, plus 10 feet in all
directions.
The tools of the boatwright include all
carpentry
tools plus pitch || tar.
Cost: 1,000 gp (The cost of raw
materials is 11-20%(1d10 + 10)of the value of the finished work.)
Space: 50' x 120'
