Thanks for clearing up the last question I asked about Jean Desailly.

A question came up on the Discord that I wanted to affirm.

Can Behemoth copy the specific ability of USS Lamon/Barracuda and ram another ship while submerged?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

Absolutely.  Wizkids’ handling of the sea creature rules vs. creature “type” keywords (Titan, Sea Dragon, etc) was a colossal mistake.  The sea creature rules are the base rules that apply to all the different creature types.  The sea creature keywords (like Sea Monster) were written specifically for each type, which is where you get exceptio…

    Sea creatures can’t be rammed, pinned, or boarded. Nor can they ram, load treasure, tow, or be assigned crew. Sea creatures can be given only move and shoot actions.
