From today’s game, if a player successfully rolls for SAT, moves with their first action and then has their Captain ability cancelled, can they then choose to NOT repeat the first action (since the ability says “may be given the same action twice”) and instead shoot via the Sac ability?  Or are they locked in once they complete the first action?…

I’d never put any effort into tracking specific release dates, and it’s way too far in the past to remember any of those details, so any info you have on that will be more than I’ve got.

I certainly plan on doing some play testing once the set is more or less complete. I’m a little hesitant on changing the effects of the ability as I personally really like the idea, however I’m definitely not opposed to adding further restrictions to make that result harder to achieve. Is there anything you would suggest?

For ships like Fantasia and Hannah that have the ability “Friendly ships within S of this ship get +1 to their cannon rolls.”, can this also apply to the ship with the ability itself?

No, “within X” is measured outward from the ship but doesn’t include any part of the ship itself.

It’s the same reason cancelers can only target things on other shi…[Read more]

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

Yes.

@Ben

Just to confirm, the ignoring terrain ability does not allow you to shoot while overlapping a fog bank either?  (similar to Ghost Ship as discussed above)

Correct.  The same ruling applies to b…[Read more]

“Infin8Ouroboros said”
To be clear, a “ghostly” ghost ship only ignores terrain while physically in motion, not during the entire move action(and associated free actions), correct?

 This has generated some rules discussion on Discord, including whether a Ghostly Ship can shoot from within a terrain (such as an iceberg or Fog) while said shi…

Does a Reroll crew work with a crew such as Jean Desailly/George Washington Lebeaux etc.?  I am unsure based on the Pirate code verbiage regarding rerollers.  “You may re-roll crew abilities, provided that the effect of that ability applies to or is used by the ship.”  Since the effect would be moving the enemy ship I am not sure if it counts…

When Unique Treasures are revealed at a wild island, does the exploring player choose the order in which the UT effects are applied?  (I know I’ve asked this before but I can’t find the answer in the Code or through a forum search here)

The wording of the specific UT matters, with the effects of some being determined when loaded versus when revea…[Read more]

I think Divers and Raft seem like the most fair events though they don’t really feel like “events” per se. They feel like they should be something like equipment with a one time effect.

Both of those would have been great as equipment.   For a point or two more, Divers could even be made reusable.  Raft could be reusable too, assuming you went to…[Read more]

From this old FAQ, does this part about Ghost Ships and fog banks still hold true? (for regular fog banks, not those created by smokepot specialists/shot)

Q: If a ship becomes “ghostly” while in a fog bank and is forced to leave the fog bank, where does she exit?

A: She can exit at any point along the edge of the fog…

Events are a neat idea that was very poorly implemented.

Becalmed and Mermaids were both massively game-breaking against any fleet that wasn’t specifically built to avoid them or at least minimize the effect.   Players started “unofficially” banning them in games almost immediately.

This clears things up!  Thanks.  Now to find more exploits…. 

Keep the exploits coming!  (So they can be fixed.)  😀

Has this already been covered with the orange text?

They are now, but it wasn’t completely clear before.   Mostly I just wanted to make sure there weren’t any other weird cases out there I was forgetting, in case that revised wor…[Read more]

Is there a ruling that states this is the case? It seems logical that you wouldn’t be able to, but I can’t find anything in the code that specifically states that you can’t.

Shipwrights only change where you can take a repair action, but they don’t provide any mechanism for actually removing the fire mast first.

You can use one to repair other…[Read more]

Can you use a Shipwright to repair a mast replaced with a fire mast?

Shipwrights won’t extinguish the flames, so you have to put the fire out some other way before you can repair the mast.

On Nemo’s Plans with Runes of Thor:

Similar applies to these.   You could use it against a ram roll, then a boarding roll, and then a single shoot action roll, but you can’t use it on every single die rolled during a single shoot action.

The discussion from 2020 gave me the impression that this couldn’t be done.  Is there something I’m missin…

“The Code, Nemo’s Plans”
If a UT applies to, modifies, or is triggered by a specific action or situation (other than exploring the wild island) it may be used once, each time that action or situation occurs.

Does this mean that if Cross of Coronado (or a similar treasure) were on the same ship as the Plans, you could use the Cross every time…

Once each time this ship is given an action, you can roll 2d6 any time you would roll a d6. Choose the result you want to use.

 Can this ability be applied to extra action, SAT, or other such die-rolling ability? The Code is not clear.

That ability applies only to die rolls made as part of an action.

While those abilities can generate…[Read more]

@Xerecs

I assume that the “cannot load treasure” part of the Sea Creature rules would satisfy the above and thus prevent Intermediaro from giving treasure to a friendly Sea Monster?

Correct.   Intermediario’s ability doesn’t say anything about overriding cargo restrictions, so that sea creature rule still applies.

@CrazyIvan

Is it correct that…
