Question about Crew Advancement and Coins:
Gaining Level 1 cost newLevel x 4 Coints = 4 Coins
Every Crew Member gets 1 coin (+2 per crew tier) as a bonus payment. I assume that the crew tier used here is the old tier, so gaining Level 1 tier brings 1 coin per Crew Member.
So the advancement is free of cost when youre crew has 4 members or more.
It get’s even better advancing to Level 2:
Cost = 2 x 4 = 8 Coins
Crew Member Payments = 1+2 = 3 Coin per member.
so you only need 3 members in the crew to pay for the advancement and you still have 1 coin for the party.
This seems odd to me. Yes, you need to have the money to get it back as a bonus, but is that as intended?
Do I miss something?
You’ve missed something.
Each PC gets 1 coin (+2 per crew tier) with Crew Advancement (p18), but that only happens when they mark 8 crew advancement ticks, not when they go up Tier.
You get those ticks by reviewing what the crew did at the end of each session. The crew gets 1 or 2 xp for each item on the crew’s advancement list. It’s not tied to Tier advancement at all.
Yes! Thanks! Now it makes sense. 🙂
