Really? That rather puts the kibosh on a Men of the Sea campaign,
doesn't it? In our MotS campaign, our hero band has about eight members,
and even with all the augments, I doubt we could push our Opening
ability much above 10w. How the heck are we supposed to set sail and
beat a 10w3 resistance? It's not as if we could realisitically get
support from some external community for all (or even most) voyages. As
a plot hook every now and then (oooh... the Closing is particularly
strong in this area/at this time) that's fair enough, but every single
time until the Closing ends? Bummer!
OK, so we're probably going to ignore this anyway, but it doesn't seem very well thought out...
