Piling On versus Block... Some figures...

Just use those black orcs to punch something squishy and get on with it. The more you need a roll, the less likely you'll get it, that's my theory based on rather unfortunate experiences!!!

Ive always preferred block over PO, mainly because i like to play it safe, and the knocking people down on the floor without a turnover is much more important to me that injuries

Actually from experience the knocking people on the floor leads to more casulties, not necessarily for the player but for the team as a whole.

Not causing a TO means your other players can block, and are more likely to cause a casulty as well as the other useful advantages like making it easy to score.

Not being on your arse at the start of the turn again means more blocks thrown.

I just finished to read the 3rd issue of House Rulez where you can find a really interesting article about injuries. Very technical, but, even if you are not interested in percentages, giving a glance at the tables is useful to have a complete picture of the situation...
