Bear in mind that the modifier would not prevent the captain from eventually training to 10 in both skills, but it would greatly slow them down.

I voted for "Yes, but only to leadership, the men won't respect the captain as much", but only so we maintain some measure of the original intent.
But really, I have no strong feelings either way.
 
Voted also to have a leadership penalty because normally these captains will be stronger then normal officers already and be much better suited to command ships. So giving them a little penalty isn't so bad...
 
Ok, adding things up 3 out of 4 total people either like both penalties, or just the leadership one.

3 out of 4 total people favor some version of ditching the grappling penalty.

Results seem clear. Will upload a proper version to the other thread that launched ths poll, and submit to new content.
