Jirelle's "reduce structural damage to your ship by 1"?

[bonelock]

Does this power reduce damage at the Raker Shoals on the start of another character's turn?

[Joshua North]

I would say yes, here's the rules from the book with my emphasis added.

S&S Rulebook wrote:

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.

Anytime there's structural damage, Ship gets it's powers first, followed by any character being played and alive, finally you can discard cards to reduce that damage.

Yes, Jirelle's power has no limitation (written) that it has to be on her turn.

I concur...as long as she is on the ship, then her ability should work.

She doesn't even have to be on the ship. She just has to be in the party...and breathing.

Actually, that isn't true (about needing to be on the ship).

It has nothing to do with her being on the ship. Just like anyone can discard cards to reduce damage.

Theryon is correct. If you want the official word, check out this thread.

Thank you! I stand corrected, I'm still getting some of the nuances down. I'll have to pass that along to our group next meeting.
