This got clarified by the BBRC in the latest Rules Review. Vote to see if you think the clarification is right or not.

I voted yes as well, he's still ugly and stinky even if he's on the ground.

Have to agree here, just because he's lying on the ground doesn't make him any less repugnant. I wouldn't want to touch a plague infested mutant if he were standing up or lying down!

I voted no.
You've still got a Prehensile Tail even if you're on the ground as well.

No biggie anyway. Where's the 'not particularly bothered' option?

You've still got a Prehensile Tail even if you're on the ground as well.

For most other skills I would vote no, but FA is passive and doesn't need any effort to use. Prehensile Tail on the other hand is hard to use when you are knocked on your arse and trying to remember who you are

FA depends could depend whether you're face down or not, as does the tail come to think of it.

Actually I kinda like it, it makes it a trait that's now more attractive, and might be taken a little more which is good.
Anyone for FA/Sprint/Gutter Runners? And sod the Sure Feet!

Can I change my vote?

I plan on taking a lot of FA on my current Chaos team (if I can manage to roll doubles for once!) Should make those elfy passing games a little more exciting (for me).

You notice that they changed the FA rule just in time for the releaso of the new Rotters team? Hmmm.....

Torg, I like the way you think. heh heh heh. CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, DW, I have disagree about the face down thing. My uglyness is not limited to my face. I think if I was laying on my face with my shirt off I would qualify for FA. That is unless you like Ewoks.

I voted yes but actually I think that no skills should work while the player is prone.

Of course not. You don't mind him when he's lying on the ground. He might be ugly, but you don't give a damn. Besides, it makes the trait too powerful.

Agree with Zombie here. It's just too goddamn powerful otherwise. Never mind the fluff that suggests you can still see/smell him on the ground - if you can't blitz away a guy who's going to interfere with your pass then the trait is extremely powerful.

If you need a fluff reason just say when he's on the ground he's no longer in eyeline when you're looking up to pass or catch.

I voted no because i think it makes FA too powerful.

I do understand the thinking that you can still see his ugly face when you try to throw or catch the ball, but seriously, why would a catcher look down when he is trying to catch the ball?

I don´t think FA is too powerful now. We´ve always used FA that way (works when prone), and this didn´t cause any balance problems.

Ah, but how many FA Players did you have on any one team? 1 or 2 I could understand, how about 6 or 7?
