Armour

Armour is a ship stat in Corsair Cove.

Effect

Armour reduces or absorbs danger in event actions, protecting health, crew, or progress through hazardous choices.

Mechanics

• Armour is the protection branch.
• Armour matters most before risky branches where the ship must absorb incoming damage or survive the approach.
• Use it for hazards, direct fire, storms, and events where surviving the approach matters more than dealing damage.

Rules and formulas
