Ahoy there! Many people have mentioned the prior, but I haven't seen it recently so I thought we could revisit the idea.
A new tool for the pirate's ARsenal in the form of a pry bar would be rather handy. I know there is a strategic play to causing damage and boarding a ship to prevent patching, but imagine the opportunity to snear onto a ship and pry off a few boards that are already there! New sneaky shenanigans abound! Even killing a pirate who completed patching and removing the hard work of his last breaths. Or taking off a plank from your mid-deck to patch a hole at the bottom if supplies run low. So many possibilities (so long as theyou are related to plank removal)!
This would need at least two characteristics to be balanced:
- A loud SNAP to alert nearby crew a plank has been removed.
- A similar (or greater) time requirement to remove a plank as to put one in place.
What think ye, salty dogs of the sea!?
