====== Cutters ======

{{:skull_shackles:cutter:cutter3.png?200 |}}{{  :skull_shackles:cutter:famished_mane.jpg?200|}}Cutters are naval vessels and are generally disliked by their crew, as they are cramped and have large sails to deal with.  Not only that, they carry a limited armoury and only a small contingent of marines, but still need a full crew of 20 sailors.  Their one advantage is that they are a touch faster than most other vessels.  However, they are often popular with smugglers as they can outrun most other vessels.

They can only hold 50 tons of cargo and supplies, but have a movement rate of 100.  The battle map is an example of a Chelish Naval Cutter, other navies might have different cabin arrangements, and smugglers will have repurposed many of the cabins.

As they are small, and so unpopular, they are normally commanded by a fairly junior officer, often a Lieutenant (referred to as Captain), supported by a Marine Lieutenant, Quartermaster and Bosun. They generally carry a complement of 10x Marines, 10x Sailors and 10x Seamen.  The marines wear light armour and carry boarding axes, while the seamen are armed with cutlasses and the sailors with clubs.

This is a custom variant of The Sailing Ship.
