This is great. It is exactly the sort of thing that a planejamming campaign 
needs. I love the fact that one wrong turn through the planes can destroy 
the ship. And I love the fact that anyone openly using this ship is going to 
be as hunted as the possessor of an Ultimate Helm. It helps justify the fact 
that planejamming *is* something that almost all people know nothing about.

I think that you have shown that planejamming ships are going to be a lot 
more powerful than spelljamming ships bound to the Material Plane. 
Planejammer might work best as an epic campaign setting expansion that 
people use after working through both Spelljammer and Planescape campaigns. 
We could mine various other settings and D&D products for small elements 
that, like this, can be taken into the planes or into space.

(I'm sure that both Al-Qadim and the Aztec gods will have something useful 
for a Planejammer Campaign Setting to use.)
