Neither Titch nor I would order any PC around. Titch will 'suggest strongly' a helpful course of action when on board the ship and he will frown at the mercs and not be at all happy about them. My question is this. will the mercs/npc non crew or the PCs be allowed to order the ship's sailors around? If so then that will make things difficult since Titch will want them doing what is needed to repair the ship and not say bring someone rations or wine or run errands.<br/><br/>Yes he will be fully aware he has a 'Prince of royal blood' on board but he is the Captain and conflicting orders to the crew will cause problems. Think Like this there were times in various star trek episodes where an important civilian was on board and wanted a course of action done. The captain would listen and then proceed how he thought best and woe be on the civilian that tried to order around the crew. The PCs and the mercs and any non crew are civilains on the Maiden and even pirate crews knew the need for a captain and would follow him as long as he got them wealth and did well.<br/><br/>I built Titch to be a sailor and captain his one trait lets him reroll any sailor professor roll once a week. I have no desire to control or order other Pcs but have found that OOC discussion has loads of benefits.<br/><br/>MU
