Skyships typically resemble ocean faring ships held aloft by three or more brumestones. Some have sails atop their deck in order to catch more wind for higher speeds, and often skyships also have some manner of sail protruding from the sides of the hull to act as wings and provide additional lift. Some skyships are seaworthy in case an emergency landing in the water is necessary.
Skyships typically require a crew of around six to ten to function, and can carry up to an additional thirty passengers. In addition, skyships can carry up to ten tons in cargo. Skyships are faster than ocean-bound ships, capable of flying at ten miles per hour. This expediency and the cost of construction and maintenance of the skyship makes them quite expensive, costing 100,000 gp to purchase outright, 2 gp per mile for each passenger, and 1 gp per 100 pounds of cargo per mile to ship.
