What are we going to do in like 4 levels when we have several million GP and nothing to spend it on? Get a second ship?
Upgrade all rooms to luxurious and put prismatic walls around everything. Then, we pimp out the ship with everything else in the Stronghold Builder's Guide until it looks silly. Then, we get a second ship. :p

I think we should add ships until everyone has a ship and it'll be like the Dethcycle.

I suggest converting it to a Protoss Carrier. Death from Above!

Ok Bowen, want to tell us what all those upgrades do? :p I notice there is a Planar Helm and also a Planar Mast, and a something of Greater Jaunting. Are the two Planar things non-redundant? And does the Jaunting thing teleport individuals or the entire ship?

If I changed my character to a Nomad, or just bought him a Psicrown with the appropriate powers in it (Plane Shift, Teleport, etc), he could take care of magically moving the ship. That might free up some money for other things, or let someone drop a landlord feat, if you guys want.
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

Since my old computer died I'm still in the process of getting all my old books back, so I'm not sure about some of the stuff, sorry.

Any help of those who have the relevant books to post the descriptions (or shortened versions thereof) of the various upgrades I mentioned would be appreciated :)

EDIT: IIRC the 2 Planar thingies aren't the same thing, and the Jaunting ability works on the entire ship...

Also, we're well within budget and the Landlord thingy doesn't really cost anything aside from a couple of thousand GP, so I think it's safe for you to go with your original character :)

Okay, here are some basic descriptions of all the upgrades.


Dungeon Master's Guide:
-Bottle of Air (7 250 gp)
[spoiler]This item appears to be a normal glass bottle with a cork. When taken to any airless environment it retains air within it at all times, continually renewing its contents. This means that a character can draw air out of the bottle to breathe. The bottle can even be shared by multiple characters who pass it around. Breathing out of the bottle is a standard action, but a character so doing can then act for as long as she can hold her breath. [/spoiler]
-Decanter of Endless Water (9 000 gp)
[spoiler]If the stopper is removed from this ordinary-looking flask and a command word spoken, an amount of fresh or salt water pours out. Separate command words determine the type as well as the volume and velocity.

"Stream" pours out 1 gallon per round.
"Fountain" produces a 5-foot-long stream at 5 gallons per round.
"Geyser" produces a 20-foot-long, 1-foot-wide stream at 30 gallons per round.
The geyser effect causes considerable back pressure, requiring the holder to make a DC 12 Strength check to avoid being knocked down. The force of the geyser deals 1d4 points of damage but can only affect one target per round. The command word must be spoken to stop it.[/spoiler]


Eberron Campaign Setting:
-Bound Earth Elemental (for landbound and underground travel)(CL15 + Greater Planar Binding)(1 200 gp)
-Bound Water Elemental (for aquatic travel)(CL15 + Greater Planar Binding)(1 200 gp)
-Bound Storm Elemental (to power Lightning Turbine)(CL15 + Greater Planar Binding)(1 200 gp)
-Wheel of Wind and Water (8 000gp)
[spoiler]A character with the Wind's Favor ability of the Lesser Mark of Storm can telepathically control the elemental bout to the Airship.[/spoiler]

Mundane:
-Ballista (500gp each)
-Bombard, Light (2 000gp each)

[spoiler]Constant Alarm effect, crew with lantern token does not set of the effect.[/spoiler]
-Planar Helm (65 520 gp)

-Sails of Displacement, Minor (reflavored to Elemental Mast of Displacement, Minor) (120 000 gp)
[spoiler]20% miss chance to ship-to-ship attacks against the airship.[/spoiler]
-Wind Pipe (7 000 gp)
[spoiler]Magical air circulation, intake must be surrounded by air (insert intake into Bottle of Air).[/spoiler]

-Nondimensional Trunk (30 000 gp)
[spoiler]Holds anything with dimensions of less than 10ft. in all directions, up to 2 tons.[/spoiler]
-Planar Sails (reflavored to Planar Elemental Mast)(72 000 gp)
[spoiler]5 minutes and a succesful Knowledge (The Planes) check (DC 20) to set, Plane Shift.[/spoiler]
-Smuggler's Hold (90 000 gp)
[spoiler]As Nondimensional Trunk, but magically hidden until command word reveals for 1 round. Spellcasters to find it with Divination magic need to succeed on a caster level check against DC 20.[/spoiler]

Awesome. :D Since I picked up Thrallherd, I can just dominate the crap out of the elemental every 10 days (using Metaconcert to get a DC of "You can't win"), and not worry about having to win on opposed charisma checks to control the ship.

So how big is this thing? I have a freakin' cult of 62 people following me around, now.  :smirk I could just ditch the 50 first level guys, though. More will show up wherever we go, so they can be our fans/groupies. The level 2+ guys will be our roadies, I guess. :D

I believe somewhere around 300ft. is the standard length, so that should be enough for the entire 'crew' :D

Ouch...  :lmao

The Secure Chamber isn't on the entire ship, is it? I plan on using [Mind Affecting] powers on-board regularly... I'd at least like a room that isn't Mindblanked.

A note for our Mindsight Psicrystal: I do have a level in Mindbender+Mindisght, giving me MS out to 100 feet.

No, haven't had time for that yet. I think I can start work on one this weekend. Not sure if I can get everything done then, but I should be able to make some decent progress.

There's a map of a basic airship in the Explorer's Handbook, to give you a basic idea.
The rooms etc. might be changed somewhat in the final design. Apart from that it's mostly just selecting locations for the weapons and upgrades.
