Besmara's Tricorne and Swashbuckling

[Zaister]

Quick question: using the power of Besmara's Tricorne on a check does not] add the swashbuckling trait to that check, correct?

The would be very helpful with Jirelle's ability to reroll dice on checks with the swashbuckling trait, but I fear that combo doesn't actually work.

[Hawkmoon269]

You are correct, it does not.

[Ripe]

No it doesn't... like you said, it would be too powerful if it did.

And to make it even worse, since Tricorn is an Item it prevents you from using Old Salt's Bandana to add the trait.

Rulebook p.12:

Play Cards and Use Powers That Affect Your Check (Optional).
Players may now play cards or use powers that affect your check.
Players may not do things that modify a skill unless you’re using that
skill, and players may not do things that affect combat unless you’re
attempting a combat check. Do not add traits from these cards to the
check; for example, playing the spell Aid on a check does not give
the check the Divine trait.

Using the Tricorne modifies a check, and doesn't say to add the Swashbuckling trait.

Eventually she can simply reveal a card tonadd that trait, but not until the Role Card at least.

And that's only one of the roles (Pirate Queen). It's the one I went with though, and I've got no regrets so far.

Early on, I found Eyepatches to be excellent at getting a small boost to many checks, as well as also giving me the Swashbuckling trait. Though again, only one item per check, so it wouldn't combine with the hat.

Tessa Fairwind was the best way to add Swashbuckling.

PS: Never go on land, very hard to Swashbuckle there.
