Sailing Ship/War Ship

Sailing ships are fast-moving designs focused on travel. Warships are slower but more heavily armed vessels capable of taking on more cargo. They share many of the following areas, but, as their map tags reveal, they don’t have the exact same facilities.
A sailing ship or warship requires a large crew to properly sail the vessel. Warships carry extra soldiers to fight battles and fire the siege weapons. If the characters are guests on a sailing ship or warship, the crew consists of the following creatures, all of which have proficiency with water vehicles in addition to their normal statistics:
One captain (bandit captain)
Four other officers: a first mate, a bosun, a quartermaster, and a cook (nobles)
Twenty-five sailors (commoners)
A warship typically includes the following additional crew to augment its fighting ability:
Forty soldiers (guards)
Eight siege engineers (guards)
One priest (the ship’s surgeon)
