Question on fouling

[Daguun]

Let's say you have the following position with player "F" fouling a prone opponent:

Code: Select all

. . . . .
. . O X .
. F o . .
. X X X .
. . . . .
Legend:
  F : Fouler
  X : Fouler Teammate
  O : Opponent
  o : Prone opponent (being fouled)

What is the bonus on this foul? +3 or +4?

My opponent stated that it was +3 arguing that the fouler was in an opponent's tackle which negates his usual +1.

I say he should read the rules again.

What do you guys think?

As far as I know, the rules have been changed now to state that defensive assists may be given, so your opponent was right; +3 on the armour roll.

Sorry, my mistake there, I looked at the diagram wrong , there is a +4 bonus, 3 assists, 1 for the foul. Sorry for wasting your time with the first post .

I believe you are referring to the line that says no player may offer a defensive assist if he is in a tackle zone.

"Defending players may also give assists to a player that is being fouled. Each defensive assist modifies the
armour roll by -1 per assist."

PBeM gives it a +4.

Aren't fouling assists now calculated exactly like blocking assists? (except for Guard)

[Furelli]

Thats right. Like all assists you can only give them if you are not in the tackle zone of an opposing player. This means that the answer is +3.

Furelli.

[Thadrin]

plus 4...one for each of the guys at the bottom of the diagram and one for the fouler.. The opponent cannot assist as he is in an opposing tackle zone.

[Furelli]

Ooops. Me forgot the +1 for fouling.

Furelli.

With the +1 for fouling factored in, this is a +4 foul.
