Having fun working in a hotel in Fredricksburg, VA. Kids are asleep in their bed. The wife and I are working on our computers writing our separate projects.

Tonight's idea actually dealt with Ability Checks, specifically for things like Naval Maneuvers and/or Naval Combat. This may spread to other areas.

Ships will have a Ship Rating. A character's ship will use it's Ship Rating to modify the ability test. For example, a character's ship attempts to suddenly change course to avoid running up on the rocks.

The character will make a DEX test adding the Ship Rating to their DEX stat.

I'm working with an opposed test, but it feels clunky. Here's the rough idea:

A character is attempting to use their ship to evade an enemy ship:
Character makes a DEX test adding their Ship Rating to the DEX stat. The Ship Rating of the enemy ship is added to the roll.

This require more thought and testing. Rock on, everyone.
