Genuinely interested what comes in 1-4 there, then.

I like DC 'cos it makes my catchers viable catchers (re-rollable 2+), but I know not many people seem to actually use them to catch the ball.

My first three would generally be..
Block/Wrestle
Side-Step
Fend

the skills I would be taking or at least considering before DC would be...
Dauntless
Kick
Pass Block
Tackle
Jump Up
Diving Tackle

This takes no account of Doubles.

Generally if I am taking a catcher I would like him to survive, frankly as with anything other than elves I don't want to be catching with him, if things have gone so badly wrong that I'm considering passing he is probably dead anyway :) Why turn him into an Elf (and a poor elf at that he will still be dodging on a 3+)? If you want an Elf to catch... play elves

I get told that a lot! :lol:

I'm contemplating Dark Elves next. Just want to learn the ropes with a more difficult team (using Humans at the minute) so I can get a decent education about what could work, rather than what usually does.
