NAVAL COMBAT (5E) - Running Sea Encounters for Ships & Monsters

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Batten Down the Hatches!


Are you looking to run exciting, fast-paced naval encounters where all your players have something to do each turn? Do you want to run cinematic sea battles between ships and terrify your players with sea monster attacks?


I wrote this guide after running a weekly seafaring campaign for 5th edition for over a year. NAVAL ENCOUNTERS provides GMs with rules, ideas, and examples for running combat and other scenarios at sea for your 5th edition game. Whether you are looking for rules to run an encounter between ships, naval combat roles to give to each of your players, or ideas on how to handle a sea monster attack, this guide is the answer.

Is the system based on Ghost of Saltmarsh naval rules (hull, sails, etc) or are totally homebrew?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the rules are meant to work alongside everything found in Ghost of Saltmarsh.

So as I am reading through I have the question, do the cannons fire on the players turns or do they simply ready the fire action by loading it and aiming it,thus having everything go off on the boats turn which says ship initiative 0?

Either one will work. I usually run with the players in my game as they are usually shooting cannons or using an action to command a broadside or something.

If I already own 'The Seas of Vodari', will this be useful?

Yes. It has content not covered in SoV such as:
1) specific ship roles and mechanics to back them up
2) naval combat specifics that go far beyond what you'll find in Ghosts of Saltmarsh.
3) Caravel and Cog ships.
4) Non-magical ship modifications

it's really the equipment and vehicles which are somewhat redundant. I'd say 2/3 is unique.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
