The inspiration behind the Nurak was a character that compelled people to go back to their job/task. I translated it as best I could without making it too similar to existing mind control pieces.
Kinda weird for Pirates; maybe the ships that get hit cannot shoot at Nurak on their next turn? What makes the most sense to me would be forcing them to repeat the same action they took last turn, but that gets ugly trying to remember (especially in bigger games).
With those changes in mind, do you see their point costs changing much?
Nope – I think playtesting would be required to see what they’re like for further changes.

Flavor text: This sailor has traveled among the French fleet, giving out his luck in large quantities. It seems that any gun crew that works with him becomes more accurate and effective in a short period of time.
