Naval Strategy - For PCs

[AsteriskAmp]

What?

Well, the most obvious thing is magic. That one Druid Spell that destroys cities, Blizzard or something like that, will take out a ship's rigging if not sink it.

Ships don't like having their rigging and masts destroyed or set on fire by lightning bolts.

Fireballs cause sails to go up like a light.

Not according to many systems.
Ships aren't actually tinderboxes until gunpowder comes in but before metal is implemented.

Rigging and masts take time to be damaged, and from afar it's actually rather hard.

The Druid Spell is not that great against ships, I've looked through most of the spell lists, and apart from some cherry-picked spells, siege will always come on top.
