BB2 Full listof changes to crp

Is this not a coding error?

[Darkson]

Optional skills? No, deliberate.

Piling On on fouls? We don't know. They haven't (won't?) confirm on way or another. We suspect it is just an error, but until they say no-one can be sure.


This is part of the problem, no-one can be sure with a lot of it whether it is a bug or a deliberate change, and they're their usual communicative self, so if there are 10 bugs/differences they will normally clarify one of them. On their Reddit AMA they promised a PDF with the rule changes they'd made, along with reasons, but when (if!) that sees the light is anyone's guess.

...no-one can be sure with a lot of it whether it is a bug or a deliberate change...

Personal guess here... but they are probably unintentional mistakes which Cyanide becomes defensive about and backtracks around to saying are game "improvements."

Here you go -

For who wants to bother, here's the BB2 rulebook pdf:

Well, it's not listed as a change, so assume it's a bug, though they've not acknowledged it as such yet.

Has anyone tried Break Tackle in BB2? Does it work as described in the document and only kick in on a failed dodge? If so that's one improvement over BB1 at least.

Not quite, although it is better than it was in BB1. BT kicks in only when BT would make a difference. That means it's not actually mandatory use and can be used on, e.g., a rerolled 1. It's certainly better than it was in BB1, as I say.

[Jimmy Fantastic]

BT is mandatory in that you can't use a RR to try to RR a failed dodge without BT before BT kicks in. It works the same as FUMBBL. So while not completely perfect it's one of the few skills where the slight lack of optionality is justified.

[dode74]

I agree it works well, it just doesn't work as their rules say.

[Jimmy Fantastic]

This is what it says
"The player uses his Strength instead of his Agility when he fails a Dodge. This skill may
only be used once per turn."
-
The skill is used only if it changed the result of your dodge.

So it works like they say unless you have a point that I don't get Dode.

[dode74]

They've changed it. It used to say "skill use is mandatory". Apparently there was an update according to cknoor.
