Chapter 1 - Non-weapon Proficiencies
Shipwright Aerial Non-weapon Proficiency
With this skill the character is knowledgeable regarding techniques for ship construction and repair for vessels that will venture into the skies above. To learn this proficiency the character must already have the Shipwright skill. He or she can design and build aerial ships of all types with a proficiency check. If the character also has the Gem Cutting proficiency a successful check will give a +1 bonus to the construction check.
This skill also allows the character to perform routine maintenance on sailing vessels or galleys, including repairing sails or balloons and caulking the hull without a proficiency check.
A shipwright need not have other workmen to finish small vessels, but vessels of any size require large crews of shipwrights and other laborers to build or repair. When building an Aerial ship the additional shipwrights must also have the shipwright aerial skill to reduce the construction time.
