Abilities:

	Cannons - The Red Cross is equipped with four cannons, each of which can be loaded as a move action and fired as a standard
		      action. The cannon attack is a 250' line attack using your BAB + your Dex, Wis, or Int modifiers - whichever is
			  highest, against touch AC. You or an ally may spend an additional move action to aim the cannon for +4 to this attack.
			  The cannonball deals damage to the first target in the line equal to 6d6 + the modifier you used to shoot. If the attack
			  roll exceeded the target's CMD, the cannonball knocks them prone and continues until it hits another target, dealing 4d6
		 	  + modifier, then 2d6 + modifier to up to one more target. Cannons can be fired in a 45 degree cone from the position they
			  are oriented in on the Red Cross.

	Ramming - The Red Cross has been outfitted with a ram, and thus takes only one third damage from a ramming maneuver, as opposed
			  to one half. Its ram deals 10d8 damage. Other than the above, and not causing the grapppled condition, this is unchanged
			  from the Advanced Naval Combat maneuver https://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/ship-combat/advanced-naval-combat/#Ramming

	Boarding - To board a ship in combat, all you have to do is enter its space on the map. You can reduce the difficulty of doing
			   this by using grappling hooks to swing across from the rigging. If you successfully hit with a grappling hook (range
			   increment is 10', and must hit AC 5 of a square), you get a +8 circumstance bonus to Acrobatics or Climb checks to
			   swing across to the other ship. You may exceed your base speed to do this by taking a -4 malus to the check for every
			   10' by which your swing exceeds your base speed. Bonuses to AC through using standard actions to helm the ship, or from
			   a First Mate's Aid Another check, apply to the AC a grappling hook must meet.

Piloting:

	The Red Cross is outfitted with an arcane gust-generating engine, which few ships have access to. This enables it to reach high
	speeds without relying on weather, and without sacrificing maneuverability.
	Top Speed: 120'
	Acceleration: 30'

	DRIVING THE SHIP:

	You may spend a move action or standard action to pilot the ship from the helm. If you spend a standard action instead, then any
	piloting checks that you make in that round receive a +2 bonus. This applies to the ship's AC. If no action is taken to man the
	ship, then it will continue at it's speed and direction without change - but will not be benefiting from the additional AC of
	your piloting skill. While not helmed, the ship does not benefit from the First Mate's assistance (below).

	When piloting, you can increase or decrease the ship's speed up to it's acceleration.

	It is possible to maneuver the ship while moving - with the maximum turning radius being that of 45 degrees in total movement :
	i.e. - You cannot normally swerve the ship right 45 degrees, during your movement, and then swerve it back to the left at 45
	degrees during that same movement.

	-

	FIRST MATE:

	When in the crow's nest, or at the fore of the ship, the ship's First Mate may call out to the pilot to assist them. While in
	position, that crew member may use a move action to Aid Another the Pilot's next piloting check. This bonus also applies to the
	ship's AC in the same way that the captain using a standard action to pilot does.

	-

	PILOTING CHECKS:

	That being said, it is possible to make piloting checks to perform more complex maneuvers. The checks are a follows - with the
	skill check being either Profession (Pilot) or Knowledge (Nature).

	Turn 90 degrees in a single direction during movement : DC 15 + (ship's current speed/10) ( Ex : Moving at 60 feet and
	attempting this is a DC 21, since 15 + (60/10) equals 15+6=21. Performing this maneuver also halves the ship's speed after it is
	done.

	Turn 45 degrees more then once during movement, in opposite directions : DC 10 + (ship's current speed/10). This does not
	decreases the ship's speed, but you must spend an additional move action during your turn to constantly redirect it.

	-

	SPECIAL RULES:

	The ship takes half damage from most sources, due to its size - the damage is halved before DR is applied. However, it takes
	full damage from siege engines or fire.

	While the ship has in total 500 HP, if it drops to below 250, it gains the Broken condition - at which point, it's effectiveness
	is greatly hampered to the point where retreat is recommended. With the Broken condition, the ship suffers the following
	penalties :

	-2 to AC
	Acceleration Halved
	Top Speed Halved
	Piloting checks gain +5 DC
	Failing piloting checks deal 5d6 damage to the ship.
