Suppose you have the Savage Shores version of Wraith in your fleet, and a source of the SAC ability. If I SAC a crew can I choose not to roll for Wraith or is the roll mandatory? PC entry seems to indicate that the roll is optional.

If a ship (or crew) has the ability to eliminate a crew to gain an extra action, this…

Can Duel be used to target an enemy ship in a fog bank?

Ironclad keyword looks okay, combining two existing abilities into one is cool. I would advise using language similar to or exactly used by WizKids. In this case the second half of the ability would read thusly: Ramming cannot eliminate this ships masts.

Return Fire would need some re-wording I think. Possibly something along this line:

“When…[Read more]

Can you re-roll the die roll for the Duel event, if the chosen crew are on the same ship as a re-roll?

Would point costs change dramatically if Sea Beast was used instead of Sea Monster for the existing Sea Monsters?

If a ship has Holy Water, and an enemy ship has Voodoo Doll, can the Doll be used against the ship with Holy Water? I’m thinking no, since it would count as a direct effect because it targets a specific crew and turns them face-down and prevents them from using their abilities.

I like this a lot.  My hunch is that playtesting would go well.

You might have more chance to test it in a normal setting than I will, at least in the near future. A simple test run would be to use Sea Beast instead of Sea Monster with some of the regular Monsters from DJC, OE, and so on. It still probably wouldn’t make sharks good though. 😀

A keyword that could be used to “replace” Sea Monster. I would have no intention of retroactively applying this to WK ships or to my own exiting customs. Anywho, this was spawned after some discussion between my brothers and I after some minor discussion on Discord. I present the Sea Beast keyword.

Can a submarine ram another submarine while both are submerged? I couldn’t find anything conclusive in the Code.

Is the ability of Tobias Huntington the same as the ability of Rollando (and others). I know there is a difference in text but would the two abilities function more or less the same?

For reference:

Tobias Huntington: Choose a ship within S of this ship. If there are any unique treasures on that ship, that ship’s controller shows them to you. T…[Read more]

Transferring the crew is allowed, but all of the extra effects caused by it will cease as soon as the possessed crew is separated from the possession source.    It will revert back to its original nationality, it will take up cargo space again, and its point cost will apply normally.  (ADDED:  It does not return to its original owner.)

The sam…

I would suggest a re-word to Mortar Shot. SOmething more along this maybe:

When this ship is given a shoot action you may double the range of one of her cannons. If you do you must roll a 5 or 6 to hit with that cannon. Remove Mortar Shot from the game after the shoot action.

This ship gains one 3S cannon that can shoot from any mast. If a 1…

Thanks Woelf, had an idea about getting Explosives on the Skin Flayer. Should be fun to try it out…..

What would happen if you got Explosives onto a switchblade? If it hits more than one ship with it’s blades and rams another ship, which ship can Explosives be applied to? Could it be applied to all of the affected ships, or just to one of them? If just to one of them, which one?

On a similar tangent, would an Eternal ship that used Explosives…[Read more]

Has playing the fleets started yet?

Sadly no, not yet. However I do have everything set-up on VASSAL, I just need some time to run the fleets and record it.
