Simple question if you have a captain ability to shoot after a move action and another ability to move after resolving a shoot action. Do both chain.
No: “This ability cannot be combined with the Captain ability. This ability requires a non-free shoot action, while the Captain ability requires a non-free move action.”
Also I would assume you cannot shoot after entering a whirlpool since the end of movement happens before the pools effect.
If you’re using the whirlpool to teleport to another one, you cannot shoot coming out of the second one.
“Using a whirlpool to jump to another whirlpool ends the ship’s entire move action. It cannot shoot (via a Captain), ram, board, or use any other effects that require a move action, until it is given another move action after exiting the second whirlpool.”
I also want to get an opinion if you start towing a ship with the galley keyword can you just start immediately chugging back home.
Yes
I like to assume the ship isn’t fully yours until you dock it at home island.
“-When you tow an opposing ship, it immediately becomes a member of your fleet and may be given actions.
–You are not required to tow it back to your home island in order to gain control of the ship or its crew.
–It may be given an action on the current turn, if able.”
