As amusing as it is to think about dumpster diving outside a stadium for body parts, Raise the Dead
is always mid-game, immediately after an opposing player dies.
And right now we're talking about rules, not fluff. The rules are clear up to a point:
- Undead and Necro teams get a Necromancer as their head coach;
- Once per game, immediately after an opposing player dies, the Necromancer can Raise the Dead;
- The Necromancer can Argue the Call as a Coach (and therefore can possibly get "Sent Off")
What is unclear:
- Can a Necromancer, who has been "Sent Off", still Raise the Dead?
Since the text of Argue the Call simply says that when Sent Off, the Coach can't argue the call anymore, and doesn't contribute to Brilliant Coaching. So by default, you'd imagine that he could still Raise the Dead. But that rule was written before Teams of Legend came out. I guess we're having a kind of pedantic argument about what "Sent Off" means. In Baseball, for example, an ejected manager has to physically leave the stadium (and sometimes tries to sneak back in
using a ridiculous cartoon disguise). In soccer, a manager can get a red card and they just have to leave the sideline and not talk to the team for the rest of the game, but I don't think they have to leave the stadium. What happens in Blood Bowl?
