Watercraft     Not to be condined with the much larger true ships, watercraft are nimble vehicles much closer to land vehicles in design philosophy (they also use land vehicle rules). The earliest watercraft to see common use in Lur-Asko were those of the Alacris, which used coral waterjet technology for propulsion. Mose were built by the city of Arator, which used them to patrol the cluttered rivers of I'Gremsul. During the Imperial Age, the anthrosaur empire discovered Aratoran craft and put them to similar use; this was virtually the only widespread usage of Alacrian technology by the empires. Later, to meet the demands of the Adventuring Age, I'Gremsul produced many cheaper watercraft powered by simpler propellers and paddlewheels.
    Generally, a watercraft's obvious confinement to water is too limiting for most adventurers. The major exception is still I'Gremsul, where they are virtually the only type of vehicle of any use within the dense jungle. Only hovercraft can match their mobility on the water, and even the finest Aratoran watercraft are far less expensive.

Travel Speed & Water Conditions     Unlike land vehicles, watercraft do not use TE and list only a single travel speed. Only water conditions will interfere with a watercraft's speed; moderate waves will reduce travel speed to 3/4, while severe storms reduce it to 1/3.

Driver Competence     If the driver of a watercraft lacks competence in watercraft, they can still operate the vehicle, but with the following effects:
    -Normal travel speed is reduced to 1/2
    -Travel speed is reduced to 1/5 in moderate waves, and to 0 in storms
