Travellers' Tales: Ships of the Goblinoids (d20)
Feared across the ocean¸ a ship crewed by the goblinoid races is able to overcome any merchantman and many warships with a determined attack. These races live for war and battle¸ and their vessels are designed to fulfil this specific need on the high seas. Any adventurer taking to the sea should be very much aware of these ships¸ for goblinoid pirate and war fleets are a common feature of many oceans and if one is expecting to survive any such encounter¸ then a basic knowledge of the way these ships function is essential.
Inside you will find: Goblinoids at Sea: Never before covered lore showing just how the goblinoids wage war at sea. From the ramshackle fleets of goblins¸ through to the merciless efficiency of hobgoblin pirates¸ their tactics¸ aims and capabilities are examined in exquisite detail. The massive orc war fleets are also depicted¸ demonstrating just what this numerous and ambitious race can achieve given only isolation and a charismatic warlord.
