The Al-Qadim Netbook

5.4 Al-Qadim Ships / Of Ships & the Sea

From: [e-mail]
Hello.. I recently purchased a new ad&d product called "Of Ships & the Sea" and I love it. It has great info on ship movement and combat and just about anything you need to add ships to your campaign. Unfortunately, this new product does not have important info (needed for ship movement and combat) on al-qadim ships. (although it does include a very generic arabic ship.) Since I only play al-qadim and I love corsairs and ships and Golden Voyages and Corsairs of the Great Sea, I deceided to work out all the particulars needed for the AQ ships.. So, here they are (to be used with 'Of Ships & the Sea.')

Baglah	Length 175	Beam 30	Move 15	Seaworthy 15	Pursuit d6+5
	Manv. d6+2	Crew 40/20/10	Cargo 175 tons	Size L	RF 0
	Def. Class A	Marines 40	Hull Points 58	Crip. Points 58

Boom	Length 125	Beam 25	Move 12	Seaworthy 14	Pursuit d6+4
	Manv. d6+1	Crew 30/12/8	Cargo 125 tons	Size L	RF 0
	Def. Class A	Marines 30	Hull Points 50	Crip. Points 50

Sambuk	Length 75	Beam 20	Move 12	Seaworthy 11	Pursuit d6+4
	Manv. d6+2	Crew 20/8/4	Cargo 75 tons	Size L	RF 0
	Def. Class A	Marines 20	Hull Points 40	Crip. Points 40

Zaruk	Length 55	Beam 15	Move 18	Seaworthy 12	Pursuit d6+6
	Manv. d6+4	Crew 20/8/4	Cargo 55 tons	Size L	RF --
	Def. Class A	Marines 12	Hull Points 35	Crip. Points 35

Barijah	Length 40	Beam 15	Move 12	Seaworthy 11	Pursuit d6+4
	Manv. d6+2	Crew 10/5/3	Cargo 40 tons	Size M/L	RF --
	Def. Class A/C	Marines 8	Hull Points 30	Crip. Points 30

Note: Not all of this info is set in stone. there are variations is ships -- ex. a zaruq for instance may be streamlined for more speed but this would lower its seaworthiness a little too. ex2. a barijah could be just big enough to fit into a Large Size and would then have a defense class of A.. or it might be a little smaller (M) and have a defense class of C.
