Port Value

The term Port Value is use to refer to one of the two skill values that Crew members have. It is the value on the right in the skill values box on the Crew Board, and is marked by an icon of rectangular shapes, perhaps representating a tower or a city gate.

Skill Test

Skill tests are performed by rolling the Fate Die and comparing the outcome to the Skill Value for the type of skill being tested; the dieroll should be lower or equal to the Skill Value for the skill test to succeed.

There are two Skill Values: the Island Value and the Port Value. The skills are attributes of individual Crew member, found on their Crew Boards. If the event was triggered by using a specific Crew member, that Crew member's skill value is used. If multiple Crew members are involved, the player can choose which Crew member's skill value to use.

Skill test will sometimes happen as part of Resolving an Event, and are often called for by Sea Event cards, Expedition Cards and Denizen Cards.
