Does the pirate's strength rise if you add an aging card in the middle of its fight?
The publisher answered this on BGG, and the rulebook says the count is taken before the fight starts.

No. The pirate's strength, including any plus-2-per-aging-card hazard, is set before you start fighting it, so aging cards added by a reshuffle during the fight do not raise it.
