Gripdeck

A gripdeck spell improves the traction of the deck and actually makes it "grip" a sailor's feet, thus reducing the chance of being swept overboard in high winds, storms, rough seas, extreme maneuvers, or combat. Anyone who might be swept overboard gains a +3 saving throw bonus. If the event does not allow a saving throw, all personnel now receive an unadjusted saving throw vs. paralysis to avoid being swept or knocked overboard. Anyone who does somehow fall overboard falls no more than 10' from the ship.
