TW Sky boats

[glitterboy2098]

a few questions about these technowizard craft. (pg 136 of RUE, or pg 95 of RMB)

they are limited to operations on ley lines. would it be possible to include a PPE battery of some sort to allow them to operate off a leyline for a time, like the TW warbirds in RIFTER #5 can?

they are listed as sail powered. is there anything preventing the mounting of a TW refit motor and propellor set up for propulsion?

they have a max altitude limit of 200 feet. is this due to spell, leyline, or design, and could this flight ceiling be increased?

2 nothing, though he'd probably want a TW Jet or TW prop motor for a air vessel
3 everything is able to change, due to tinkering by the TW, house rules , or most likely GM Fiat. But to start out with the tW should only have the basic model to start out with.

for #3, i was basically wondering how tall a ley line is. pg 130-131 in the old RMB has in the caption 300ft, but that ley line looks to be no more than 20 some feet wide, while RUE has leylines at a half mile to a mile wide.

i just plan to expand on the skyboat concept with by adding things like a PPE battery for off-ley line operation, and TW engines for forward propulsion, and i wanted to be sure there wasn't anything to stop me.

with a bit more reading, the TW flyer can reach 5000 feet and has to stay on a LL, so i'm going to guess most LL's aren't much more than 5000ft high...

ultimately i decided to go a different route with my idea, instead of the skyboat one (i'm probably going ot move it to a different group).
