Bombs and Rerolls

Post by natsirtm »

This came up this weekend, and we couldn't find anything determinate to base a decision on.
My gut says no, but couldn't find anything in the rules.

Are you allowed to use a team reroll, to reroll the 4+ chance of knocking someone over who is in a square next to where the bomb explodes.

I would say no.
Mainly because my thinking is that Team Re-rolls are for changing the possibility of the players action. Not changing an inanimate object. Just by going by the spirit of the game rules.

Saying that, there's no real part I can see that says you can't technically.

No

It is in the text of CRP, if you ignore the bit in brackets it reads "A coach may use a team re-roll to re-roll any dice roll ... made by his own player". The knockdown roll is the same as the stuff in brackets, that is, not player rolls.

I share your interpretation of the spirit of this line, even though it is not one of the rolls mentioned in the brackets. However, you could argue that the "made by his own player" is to distinguish between a bomb thrown by a player on the moving team and a fireball cast by a wizard, rather than to distinguish between a bomb and a player...

So... can a re-roll be used on a wizard then?

Wizard doesn't meet those criteria.

I'm with Duke Jan, the distinction "by a player" is important. The bomb is not a player.
