Harbinger SM 003
Captain Blackheart SM 002
Crimson Angel OE 039
Helmsman SM 012
Shipwright SM 026
Oarsman SM 019

Here’s the scenario.  Crimson Angel rolls a 5 or 6 (either one) before giving the Harbinger an action this turn.  The Harbinger moves and sho…[Read more]

Cumulative… or Stacking Abilities?

If Calico Cat OE 038 and Captain SM 008 are both aboard Cat’s Claw OE 032 and shoot at a non-Pirate ship, will the ship’s cannon rolls be at +2?

That’s okay, we’ve already made some house rules to fix Wizkids’ foolishness.

The 2nd part of Captain Jack Sparrow’s CA 058 ability was also house ruled.

I think our games will be more balanced and fun that way 🙂

Thanks for the reply.

Wizkids created some confusion for me, because their flavor text is not reflected in their rules.

The flavor text insinuates that Calico Cat is in command of the Cat’s Claw, and there’s a link between the two, but Wizkids neglected to give her the “captain keyword”, the text form of the ability, of the word…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply.  So to clarify –

Calico Cat OE038 does not have the “captain keyword” or text form of the ability.  So she is not a “captain” in any way shape or form?  Is that correct?

Does that also mean that if I wanted to benefit from the Cat’s Claw OE032 ability, I would need to include a 3 point generic Captain instead?

Thanks.
