Actions

On its turn, the ship can move using its helm. It can also fire its cannons. If it has half its crew or fewer, it moves at half speed and can fire only half of its cannons.

Special Actions

During an encounter, the captain, first mate, and bosun each have access to three special action options described below: Full Speed Ahead, Fire at Will and Pack the Good Powder.

Full Speed Ahead

As an action while on deck, the captain, first mate, or bosun can exhort the crew to work harder and drive a ship forward. Roll a d6 and multiply the result by 5. Apply the total as a bonus to the ship’s speed until the end of the ship’s next turn. If this bonus is applied to a ship’s speed when the ship is already moving faster than normal, use the higher result. Don’t add the two bonuses together.

Fire at Will

As an action, the captain, first mate, or bosun aids the crew in aiming one of the ship’s weapons. Select one of the ship’s weapons that is within 10 feet of the officer. It gains advantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of the ship’s next turn.

Pack the Good Powder

As an action a refined gun powder is loaded into the cannon. Select one of the ship's weapons to gain one extra damage die to its damage roll.

The Gieon is a massive, tri-masted ship with a cargo hold, an outer balcony and a gun deck. It is armed with large heavy cannons and has many gunports. It has two rowboats, rope ladders and a captain’s quarters just off the top deck.

The ship is 115 feet long by 25 feet wide.
