Right now, Eva seems more disinclined vis-a-vis the boarding/ramming stunt than anything. Here's a transcript of the chat so far.
~~
[9:52:07 PM] McBeef: um so the problem is that those positional aspects can only be made once per turn
[9:52:20 PM] McBeef: changing one for free is like getting to take two attack actions
[9:52:25 PM] Anstarra Silverain: She suggested a cost
[9:52:38 PM] McBeef: Ok. How about this.
[9:52:44 PM] Anstarra Silverain: Alternatively, maybe once per scene, or for an FP
[9:53:01 PM] Anstarra Silverain: I know that a basic legit stunt is like, for an FP ignore the laws of physics something something
[9:53:10 PM] McBeef: If you take -2 for sail during the actual ram
[9:53:18 PM] Anstarra Silverain: Penalties to stunts
[9:53:24 PM] Anstarra Silverain: Verad will have conniptions
[9:53:38 PM] McBeef: I'll consider it. That will represent that you have more crew forward
[9:53:56 PM] McBeef: which means that they're more likely to be hurt in the boarding attempt
[9:53:59 PM] McBeef: errr
[9:54:01 PM] McBeef: ramming attempt
[9:54:14 PM] Anstarra Silverain: I don't even really care about ramming
[9:54:17 PM] McBeef: well
[9:54:18 PM] Anstarra Silverain: it's dangerous for the ship
[9:54:24 PM] Anstarra Silverain: Virara just wants to do something cool
[9:54:41 PM] Anstarra Silverain: It would be pretty neutering to take a penalty
[9:54:46 PM] Anstarra Silverain: none of us are like +4 sailors
[9:56:43 PM] Anstarra Silverain: mm.. how about something more like..
[9:58:43 PM] Anstarra Silverain: [Aggressive Boarding] - When creating the advantage /Preparing to Board/ a critical success also deals a level of Condition to the enemy ship if they do not successfully remove the advantage before the boarding action occurs.
[9:58:53 PM] Anstarra Silverain: implying they crashed hard into them
[10:11:05 PM] McBeef: um
[10:12:38 PM] Anstarra Silverain: whaaat
[10:13:07 PM] Anstarra Silverain: a critical success isn't that easy to get
[10:13:21 PM] Anstarra Silverain: and I meant like if the enemy doesn't remove the advantage, obviously
[10:19:32 PM] McBeef: um.
[10:19:35 PM] McBeef: After thinking about it
[10:20:17 PM] McBeef: Something like For a Fate point, Characters can use the fight action if a ram action would be possible as well.
[10:20:18 PM] Anstarra Silverain: I decided to make a discussion thread so I could actually sorta-chat with Virara and Jana ;b
[10:20:41 PM] Anstarra Silverain: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread....#pid266484
[10:20:47 PM] Anstarra Silverain: people and not having skype
[10:20:48 PM] Anstarra Silverain: losers
[10:21:22 PM] McBeef: so if you want a ram and fight
[10:21:36 PM] McBeef: I'd allow a stunt that said, for an FP, whenever you can ram you can also board
[10:21:49 PM] Anstarra Silverain: Would that
[10:21:56 PM] Anstarra Silverain: allow multiple people to do boarding actions that turn
[10:22:01 PM] Anstarra Silverain: or just whoever spent the fp
[10:22:23 PM] McBeef: I'd say whoever spent the fp. Can lead a boarding action in the same turn as the ram
[10:22:45 PM] Anstarra Silverain: Alright, well, I'll post it up for discussion and see what people think
