The Captain (Dreamlands F21): what can you do with the action?

Recommended Posts

First the easy question:

Is it possible to use the action twice on the same story to add The Captain's skill and icons twice to it?

Now the trickier one:

If The Captain is committed to a story can you use his action to target the story he is committed to?

I'm inclined to assume the story isn't a valid target since the action says "... without committing him to that story" but I'm not really sure.

The first part is definitely yes.  Like Paul Lamond etc.

The second part, in contrast to what you've suggested, actually allows him to use his ability.  I think that the "without committing him" clause only says that you don't have to commit him to said stories.  Since he's already committed to a story, you can't commit him to those other stories, nor can you recommit him to the story he is at.

Thanks for your answer. That sounds reasonable.

what about if its your turn to commit, can you pay all three domains to commit his icons to EACH story. so basically hes committed to all of them without actually being there?

Sure, as long as you can pay for it, you can count his icons any number of times to any number of stories you like.

As far as I can see, you can count his icons AND commit him normally to the same story.  The card doesn't seem to forbid that, it just looks like added explanation of what his ability does.

Nope, you cannot do that. The question has been added to the FAQ in the meantime. Here's the relevant part of the answer:

You cannot trigger The Captain’s
ability to have his icons and skill count
twice at a story, whether if its used at a
story he’s already committed to, or if
the action is triggered twice at the same
story.

 wow that makes him amazing. as long as you have the domains you just dont commit him and only use his ability 3 times a turn. that would be a short game and screw terror lol
