Vehicle Improvement Rules for BECMI
by HåvardHere is another thing that could be fun tinkering with. How could PCs invest in making their ships, wagons etc better? We already have a few magical items coveirng this, but I am looking for both magical and non magical improvements.

Cosmetic improvements: Some improvements may be mainly related to cosmetic effects. Some of these may add to crew morale or lower the morale of attacking creatures and vessels.
Protection, Combat Some improvements may add to the vehciles defenses and Hull Points
Protection, Environment: Some improvements may not have much effect in combat, but may help protect the vehicle against dangerouns terrain or weather conditions.
Comfort Some improvement may help improve rest on board, perhaps adding to Hit Points recovered per night etc.
Speed/Manoeuvrability Some improvement may be linked to making the vehicle faster or easier to manoever
Weaponry: Weapons may be added to the vehicle.
Other ideas? Some players love to tinker with improving their strongholds, vehicles, mounts etc. It is fun to give such players options even if other games may have no need for themv
