Placing Token Cards
If your ship is anchored to a specific location, all characters start at the ship’s location.
Structural Damage
Structural damage is a special type of damage; it does not affect characters, and it is the only type of damage that affects ships. Cards that reduce damage only to characters do not affect Structural damage. If you fail a check to defeat a ship, it deals an amount of Structural damage to your ship equal to the difference between the difficulty to defeat the ship and your check result.
When your ship is dealt Structural damage, first apply any powers on the ship card or other cards in play that reduce or increase that damage. Then characters may play cards or use powers that affect Structural damage. Finally, any character may discard any number of cards from his hand to reduce Structural damage by 1 for each such discarded card. If the Structural damage is reduced to 0, the ship is unaffected.
If a ship that is not already wrecked is successfully dealt any Structural damage, it is wrecked (see Wrecked Ships below); you do not need to discard cards equal to the amount of damage—the effect is the same regardless of the amount of damage that is dealt.
If a ship that is already wrecked is successfully dealt any Structural damage, discard a number of cards from the blessings deck equal to the amount of damage successfully dealt to the ship.
Wrecked Ships
When your ship is wrecked, flip it facedown to indicate its wrecked state. When commanding a wrecked ship, at the start of your move step, you may attempt the check to repair the ship listed on the ship card; if you succeed, the ship is no longer wrecked, so you turn the ship card faceup. If you move while commanding a wrecked ship, other characters cannot choose to move with you. When a ship is wrecked, you can never stash more plunder cards under it (see Plunder Cards below). At the end of any turn, if your ship is wrecked, banish 1 random plunder card from under the ship.
Plunder Cards
Plunder cards commonly represent potential rewards carried on your ship. When you stash a plunder card, roll 1d6 on the table below, draw 1 card of the corresponding type from the box without looking at the card, and unless otherwise instructed, put the plunder card facedown under your ship.
If you win the scenario, treat any plunder cards under your ship as you do loot; if you lose the scenario, put them back in the box. You don’t get to use plunder cards while they’re under your ship card, so do your best to keep them safe until the end of the scenario.
You stash 1 plunder card when you set up a scenario. You also stash 1 plunder card if you defeat a ship while your ship is not wrecked (see Encountering Ships).
If you are instructed to add a plunder card to your hand or to a deck, roll on the Plunder Table, draw the corresponding card from the box, and add it as you would any other card. (This does not count as stashing a plunder card.)
5-1A: For the rest of the Adventure Path, when setting up each scenario, each character may temporarily replace 1 blessing in his deck with the blessing Blessing of Besmara. At the end of each scenario, return that card to the game box.
5-2A: For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in her deck with the loot Totem Necklace and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in his deck with the armor Shark Skin Armor. At the end of each scenario, return these cards to the game box.
5-2B: For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 ally in his deck with the loot Rekkish and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 ally with the loot Rickety Hake. At the end of each scenario, return these cards to the game box.
5-2C: For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 weapon in her deck with the loot Brine’s Sting, and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in his deck with the loot Farglass.
5-2D: For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in her deck with the lootBu ccaneer’s Breastplate, and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 item in his deck with the loot Svingli’s Eye.
