I propose t’ make a new rule, entitled Skill:

Every Swashbuckler has a General Pirating Skill, or GPS, which is tracked in the GNDT numerally. The total GPS of all Swashbucklers determines the chances of success during the plundering of another ship, and each individual Swashbuckler’s GPS determines the potential amount of booty e gains from a plunder.

New Swashbuckers start with 1 GPS.

Set all Swashbucklers’ GPS to 1.
Set Captain Elias’s GPS to 5.

I have plans on adding GNDT columns like ‘Booty’ soon enough.
