You can only get FA on doubles of course, so it is not entirely straightforwards to get 6 or 7 FA players on a team. To do so would require you probably to miss out on alternative physical traits like Claw, RSC, Big Hand, Horns, Spikes, etc. (Though the upcoming example of Nurgles might make this comment utterly irrelevant.)

I voted that I thought the new rule was too powerful, but it may be the case that it'll only really matter in the case of the Nurgles (which need toning down completely anyway).

Cheers,

I am fine with FA being effective while prone (reasons already stated).

When you come stompling and rumbling down the field of blood bowl you don't mind to look down at some bad looking fella. You look up to see if there's someone to pass the ball to, or who the next person whom your wrath should fall upon, am I right?

I voted no, in case of someone didn't get my oppinion...

FA when prone is fine by me.

Also, is FA cumulative?

It certainly is. Which, incidentally, is one of the reasons I'm against allowing it to be used when prone. 4-6 FA players on the pitch and you can't move the ball at all. No handoffs, no passes, no scatters....

Yes, it's cumulative.

Wow that could be powerful on a Rotters team. Say the coach is lucky enough to get a few doubles for some Beastmen and he's got pretty much the entire pitch covered. Second skill becoming Pass Block obviously.

I voted yes, 'cause IMHO that makes more sense, but damn, that would make the nurgle team real strong!!!

Thats the whole problem, nothing wrong with the trait, just that one team now can get 7 of them eventually with no rolls doubles or otherwise.

I take it you are allowing for 6 Rotters and the Beast? TBH I'd say drop 2 Rotters because it just has to be a typo, well I sure hope it is!

Still, a strong team non the less. But so are Khemri with 4 mummies, first skill piling on and you have walking auto-casualties. Bastard things.

Sean, Andy Hall has already said that the 6 Rotters was a type. Should have only been 4. Yes, yes, I know .... who proofreads this stuff.

Understood. But the MBBL2 has had the Rotters team since we started and that team has every player able to get FA and I don't see the two Rotters teams currently playing winning overly impressively (the WBBL has one also)

Harmland Globe Rotters
