NEWQ: When does the ball scatter/bounce and how many times?
A: The ball scatters to represent inaccuracy at passes (3d8), kick-off (d8+d6) and throw-ins (d3+2d6)

Cant recall it now, but I was pointing out an 'spelling' error on the d3 (either the d3 wasnt there or it was the wrong 'd').
Not questioning the rule at all.
Cheers!

I wrote d3 because i thought more people would know what i was talking about, namely the throw-in template.
d6+2d6 is just a bit more confusing i think.
The Q&A is to be short, precise and supportive to what you actually do and not the wording of the rules (while still being in compliance with them)

With d3 you get numbers 1..3 and with d6 numbers 1..6.
d3 is absolutely valid expression. In the end, it's up to the player how to do the roll.

Not for shadowing.
Shadowing typically happens in the opponent's turn. Therefore the active team is subjected to the reactive shadowing skill and that means you can only 'pro' it now. Remember you can reroll your dice rolls with a team reroll in your turn... and shadowing is not on the player being shadowed.
BTW if, for a strange reason, you were shadowing a passblocker or a shadower, then shadowing could be used on your turn.
Bloodbowl conga line, a host of shadowers following each other, now that would be funny.

It used to be that way. Shadowing is no longer a roll unto itself, but forces the active player to make a roll to escape the Shadowing player; since the coach taking the turn is rolling the dice, team re-rolls can be used on Shadowing. Same deal as with Tentacles.

Cheers for that, just double checked and you're right.
Makes me think about pro now?

Pro no longer combos with Tentacles and Shadowing, but might be more useful if you face a lot of either in your league (yeah, right).

The Q&A has been incorporated into the NAF Clarifications Document:

If you have a rules question, it will hopefully probably have been answered there!
