Ball & Chain + Multiple Block

[Podfrey]

1) Is this a legitimate combo? (I can't see anything to say not)

2) How do you resolve "must follow up" (Ball & Chain) vs "cannot follow up" (Multiple Block)?

The way I see it is that you can never use multiple block. This is due to the fact that you use multiple block as part of a block action.

A ball and chain player can only ever take move actions. So while he throws blocks, he never actually takes block actions.

Am I correct?

Legal skill, but you don't make a Block action.

"Multiple Block (Strength) - At the start of a Block Action..."

"Players armed with a Ball & Chain can only take Move Actions"

I agree.

So does a Ball and Chain player earn SPP for casualties? Even though it's a Move action, the rule does say that you "throw a block following the normal blocking rules". SPP are earned for casualties that occur on a block... or is it only for a Block Action?

And could you get SPP for blocking someone on your own team, using Ball and Chain? I assume not, because the SPP rules say "opposing" player.

Also, what about if the Ball and Chain kills/injures a player who was already prone. In that case, the rule says make an armor roll "instead of a block". So, it is neither a block nor a Block Action.

My interpretation would be the B&C player gets 2 SPP for the regular blocks (even though it's a Move action), but does not get them for hitting a prone player.

You are correct (after minor editing of what you said).
