Check: Make a Maneuver Boats/Sailing Ships check once per hour while you are in the water. Success means you may advance at up to full boat speed.
If you fail by 4 or less, you make no progress through the water. If you fail by 5 or more, you swamp.
If you swamp, you must make a check per round to avoid sinking. If you pass three checks in a row you completely recover the boat control.
If you fail two checks in a row, you start sinking and you must make Swim checks unless you have another naval trasportation to embark in.
The DC for the Maneuver Boats/Sailing Ships check depends on the water, as given on the table below.
| Water | Maneuver Boats/Sailing Ships DC |
