Hi,

only the players from the other team. The own team completed a special training to ignore the bad smell, that their friend is spreading. :roll:

Greets,

Hello everyone.


For an opponent, Disturbing Presence makes it more difficult to pass, to intercept and to catch the ball (-1 from the D6). OK.

But I wanted to know if there was any particular reason for not included in the rules (in what is amended by DP) the fact of picking up the ball ?


- Best regards.

Probably because it would then be to powerful - couple of DP players next to the ball means pick-ups for most players would be on a 6.

It would be far too powerful for the coach with lots of D-Presence players. Every time the ball was loose (on the ground), he could force the opposing team to roll a 6 to pick it up.

And if both teams had lots of D-Presence, then the game would degenerate into a scrum with little realistic chance of picking up the ball. Although this might appeal in principle to some coaches, in practice it would be very dull!

Wow. And this didn't change from LRB5.

Yes, it is very annoying if you play it where it impacts picking up the ball.

How'd I miss that one.
