I like the mental image of a dwarf ship that's 6 ft tall and got 47 masts to make up for it.like one of those italian airplanes from the 1920s!

Darkvision limited to 60ft. Nighttime navigation was based on stars. A ship can barely contain enough ale to last a dwarf a month, let alone an entire crew...

Probably a bad idea. If I was leading a boarding party, and all the defender's retreated below decks, I'd consider it a victory. Take down the sails, pin the rudder, then park my ship outside of their cannons' firing arc. Then just wait. Maybe have my crew bring over buckets of shit, vomit, or whatever other vile substances we could find, and dump them down the grates. If I got real desperate, I could just board up the doors and set the ship on fire. Sure, I'll miss out on most of the treasure, but those dwarves will probably burn to death before the boat totally sinks.

> “How will the dwarves feel about eating spoiled food and being separated from everything their culture cherishes?” Same way human sailors do, probably.

I think sailing has been pretty staple culture for humans for at least 3000 years if not more.Yes, but before maybe the 15th century they didn't really go on the really long voyages without frequent stops for resupply that lead to severe nutritional deficits. Maybe on accident or in unusual circumstances, but not as a standard modus operandi. Most of the time, people just sailed within sight of the coast.

>Darkvision limited to 60ft. Nighttime navigation was based on stars. You don't need darkvision to see stars and that would be dim light, so darkvision is a boonThen it doesn't help navigation

Then it doesn't help navigation

It still means they can see the area within 60' of the boat as if it were daylight (but greyscale)How does that help with navigation?

We have been at sea a long time.
