Mundane Craftsmen

As per the insert in City & Guild, page 70, we can expect most enchanted ships to be of Superior or Excellent quality, though this depends on the shipwright's skill. Superior vessels add a bonus of +1 to specific activities, such as navigation or ship-handling rolls. Excellent quality ships may have a higher bonus, which may be applied to the same areas as well as providing the same bonus to laboratory totals for enchanting that device.

If the Hermetic Shipwright is leading the construction of the ship, its quality is based upon his Profession: Shipwright score plus any bonus from the workshop as enhanced by the mundane shipwright (see the nearby insert).

The four ships belonging to the covenant of Favonius, designed by Memnos of Verditius, are of Excellent Quality, giving pilots a +2 bonus to any navigation rolls, and captains a +2 bonus to any ship-handling rolls. The same +2 bonus also applies to laboratory totals for any future effects enchanted into the ships.
