Alright, so I'm DMing a game of Pathfinder, and one of the players (An Artificer) has a plan to create an airship. This isn't a huge issue in itself; the setting already has mundane airships existing, but I digress:
The method he intends to use is to create/acquire a normal colossal ship, then cast a permanence'd Animate Object on it - using construction points and so on to give it a fly speed.
The intention then is to treat it like a normal airship, though more maneuverable than an 'actual' one, requiring no crew, and being able to simply follow orders.
This doesn't really rustle my jimmies too much, though I'm not sure if there's something I'm not thinking of here.
I do kinda have a problem with another assertion though - that said character would be able to cast invisibility on the airship, as it is a creature, and thus make it and everyone and everything on board invisible. Along with this of course would be the repercussions for casting any number of spells on it, though I haven't really thought on that too much.
So my question is, what do people think of the above? Am I getting concerned over nothing, or is it something that needs looked at again? (Or alternatively is there something I'm not considering)
p.s. I'm pretty sure said player will find this thread - he does a lot more research on PF than I do - so when he does, hi! :D
