Bonehead should be more negative, and the availability of BG's (mostly Ogres) should be decreased.

Voted the availability thing, as that is more important, I think

I'd make bonehead worse, reduce the availability of Ogres and stop BGs using Leader RRs.

Make all the negative traits more negative, and give each team its own racial big guy.

I think Bonehead needs to be more negative.

I also think WA needs a complete re-write... not to tone it down, but rather so that it has a potential for effect no matter what the opposing team does. At the moment, it has a negative effect if your opponent crowds the WA but none otherwise. It should also have a negative effect at other times too. (The old roll a d6, on a roll of 1 the WA attacks the nearest player (friend or opponent) was better, IMO.)

I agree with the One Team/One Big Guy opinion. Personally, I'd like to see it break down as follows:

Amazon, Dwarf, High Elf, Dark Elf, Wood Elf, Khemri, Undead, Necromancy, Vampire - None
Humans, Norse - Ogre
Chaos Dwarves, Orc, Goblin - Troll
Chaos - Minotaur
Halflinig - Treeman
Lizardmen - Kroxigor
Skaven - Rat Ogre

What I would not want to see this list, or any other, do is change the current 'Big Guy' star players. Morg should still play for Chaos, Deeproot should still be willing to play for Wood Elves, and so on.

I voted for availability...but do feel that Takeroot should be changed to the "on the pitch variant" and Ogres are too numerous...

I don't know how useful this poll will be. I'd like to be able to vote for 3 or 4 of those options. The poll really seems like it's going to tell us what aspect of Big Guys people are most dissatisfied with.

Too many options on a poll tend to lessen a question's utility. I think we have consensus on a lot of these questions, but a few yes/no type of polls would serve to give a much idea of what people think than a "pick your favorite" poll like the one above.
