Bah, see Williams run when he hears I'm using the small green ones...

Bring it on, the little fellas will be triumphant!

*Well a triumphant morale victory at least...

Na some how I think a lot of coaches are gona walk away from the Pearlies this year with a Fear of Stunty teams.

I mean I've been making my Flings Read a lot of The Order of the Stick so they are just as psychotic as Belkar (He just kept on stabbing him and he wasn't jolly halfings are supposed to be jolly)

Aran Can you please confirm if we can use the Chef or not?
The rules pack contradicts

True, but stunties are significantly less likely to lose a game if the TO allows Star Players. Having 3 trees instead of 2 makes a big difference to flings (regardless of the pro's/con's of Deepfruit)

Go on...you know it makes sense.

Quite correct! Ask my Monkey-Bowl Lizards that faced them. OUCH!

Halflings cannot use the Chef.

I just had a go creating a couple of 110 Halfling rosters and you can indeed make a pretty tasty (

) stunty team without a chef. Remember that Assistant Coaches, Cheerleaders and indeed Fan Factor have a more important role in games these days (ref. kick-off table and winnning the Fame roll) and you can afford a decent amount of all three of those plus 4 re-rolls and a full 14 Halfling/two tree roster at 110.

Pearlies has classically been one of the more vanilla tournaments on the scene with the bare minimum of special rules and as such will remain so as this year is the first time I've run it and I don't want to make any sweeping changes.

Don't panic, I honestly think that Halflings at 110 can achieve more than the stats of a basic Halfling would suggest and as it appears that there will be quite a few 'short teams' attending the weekend at least you can beat up your fellow 'teams of restricted height'. And besides, if you manage a draw (and god forbid a win) then you have bragging rights for a long time...
