Draco Starcloud Pestilence

This is interesting little boat introduces a new ability to Pirates: its masts are immune to damage unless the target rolls a 6. With an ability like that, you'd almost want to use it in a fight. Gold running might be a better duty though despite having only three cargo spaces; with its protection ability, the Pestilence wouldn't be as easy a target and it comes with a base move of S+S. It could also make an interesting fighter if you put a captain and a Musketeer on board.

However, the Pestilence's power makes it a great target for boats with the double-range cannons. Those ships already need to roll a 6 to hit, so they have nothing to lose by firing on the Pestilence, especially if those ships have World-Haters on them. Also, the ability only protects against cannons and not rams, so an enemy could still easily ram Pestilence into submission.

The Pestilence is an interesting boat that can serve you well at 9 points. It still has some of the standard one-mast vulnerabilities, but you can make it work with the right crew.

I give the Pestilence a 4/5.
