I assume it would be best to use it on the most accurate cannon available, but only at the end of the shoot action. That way, you have the best chance of hitting in order to get the second shot, but if it backfires, you can just eliminate a mast that has already shot (therefore not needlessly losing that shot).

Of course, that assumes positioning…

If a switchblade blades a ship, would that count as touching that ship for the purpose of abilities like Filching Gold (Once per turn this ship can randomly take one treasure from any ship she touches)?

If yes, would a Scorpion hitting a ship with it’s blade also count?

Filching Gold is worded as a”once per turn”, could it be used like any of…[Read more]

As long as nothing else is preventing the transfer

I take it that Sea Creature rules would prevent a transfer, correct?

How would an ability have to be worded to be used with Broadsides Attack?

Based on the flavor text I assume this is meant to be mandatory, so you should add a “you must” into the first sentence to make that as clear as possible.    Specifying the timing might be useful too, like beginning/end of turn (if used on ALL turns), immediately before/after taking an action (if only your own turn), or tying it specif…

To make it work on a ship it needs to be highly restricted, by capping the maximum damage reduction (2 or 3 at most), reducing the rolls so it only blocks damage with certain results (1-2-3 reduces that amount; nothing on a 4+), or adding some other meaningful negative to it (hits eliminate two masts, hits automatically become fire, can only…
