Bombard

Bombards are built by giff. The major feature of each ship is an enormous cannon that fires massive cannon balls capable of blowing other ships to smithereens. (The cannon is included in the cost of the ship.) A bombard can carry up to fourteen giant cannon balls, each of which weighs 10 tons. These cannon balls make up most of the weight of the ship’s cargo. A winch mounted on the aft deck is used to load the cannon balls on board.

A bombard can float and sail on water, but it can’t land safely on the ground (its keel would cause it to roll on its side).

Battlestations

Spelljammer Helm: Hold Concentration on the Spelljammer Helm to enable the ship to move in combat. If Concentration is broken or the creature leaves the Gravity Bubble the ship stops moving and remains stationary until another creature who is Attuned to the Helm starts Concentrating.

Crow's Nest: You gain Advantage on Perception Checks. You can spot weaknesses in the enemy vessel or gain information on their weapons or stats.

Gundeck: Take command of the gun crew and they use your Proficiency Bonus and Ability Modifiers for reloading checks and you can make the Attack Roll.

Swivel guns: Use one of the Swivel guns to attack.
