When Bomb explodes and player has been hit by the explosion (BB2020 rulebook:) "You may apply a +1 modifier[]" (Mighty Blow).

Who is this "You"?

Easy: When my Bombardier hits on the opposition player I will make decision of Mighty Blow.

But how about:
A) Bombardier fumbles and explosion hits the Bombardier?
B) Bombardier hits team-mate?
Opposition catches the bomb
C) and fumbles it?
D) hits my player?

I can think at least couple sane option:

• You refers always the Coach of Bombardier.
• You refers always the player rolling the Armour dice.
• You refers the Coach of the last throwing player.

Page 29, Armour Rolls: The player making the roll may add +1.

Yes, armour roll is made by opponent, but where it is said that roller is the person who decide to add +1? Actually bomb is not Mighty Blow (even I used that term), it is: "You may apply a +1 modifier...".

I found discussion about bombardier fumbling:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodbowl/comm ... ghty_blow/
And most think decision is made by Coach of Bombardier:
"Bombadier awards the decision of adding +1 to "you", referring to the coach who controls the player that is using the Bombadier skill."
"You choose. The skill states it is your choice. Nothing about bombadier gives that choice to your opponent, like Animal Savagery does."
"The optional +1 for bombadier is awarded to "you", which is the player with the skill. If he blows himself up, you may choose not to apply the modifier."

But there is also opposite view:
"It does in fact say "may" choose to apply it and so it is your opponents call"

And another with bomb exploding:
https://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphp ... ic&t=31726
"This means when you hit your own player you do not add mighty blow, when you hit an opposing player you do add mighty blow "
VS
"I still interpret the "you" in this case as the person rolling the armor and injury dice."

(And after these there will come my question: will this change if bomb is catch and thrown back)

As covered above when your opponent makes the Armour Roll, so they are reading the rules for what they can do when they roll their Armour Roll they become the "you" in the text. They make the Armour Roll 'they' may add a +1 to Armour or Injury Rolls.

So if you are rolling for an oppo's player's armour 'you' get to choose to add the +1, when they roll for your player's armour 'they' get to choose.
