Health

Health is a ship stat in Corsair Cove.

Effect

Health is the ship’s loss condition. Repair at a pier before sending a damaged ship into another dangerous event.

Mechanics

• Hull or health is the ship’s direct damage buffer.
• Low health turns otherwise winnable event branches into repair problems because many hazards and fights can damage or block the ship directly.
• Practical check: send damaged ships home before another event that mentions fire, storms, combat, forts, or monsters.
