Is it time for some new skills?

I would love a block, tackle, pro lineman. Not to mention pro gets better with certain combinations, pro and dauntless for instance. Pro by itself or as a 1st skill is not very useful, but pro with other skills is a very nice second skil imo.

Pro also helps out Big Guys which cannot use team re-rolls...

Funny, my favorite vanilla lineman has block, tackle, dirty player...

Yeah, having that "ace in the hole" Dirty Player helps out if you need to get problematic opponents off of the pitch.

Plus if that Wardancer isn't fouled off the field, he can't reroll that dodge.

True!
I've had a few DE blitzers and witch elves this past weekend that made me regret not taking DP on a longbeard or two.

Yes, I think that with every new team that comes out they should add a skill or trait.

Obese is too powerful with the +1 strength, but a +1 AV -1 MA might be just fine.

I've wanted a Taunt skill for awhile, a bit like Hypnotic gaze but not as powerful. Something for the lineman: If a player with taunt is in an opposing player's tacklezone the opposing player may not use Tackle, Block or Diving tackle during the Taunting player's team turn.

That's not too bad of an idea...

PB not good?

Imagine a whole team of pro, catch, pass blocking players..

(AG4 perhaps?)

Pass block is good but only on certain players. I dont think many Orc or dwarven coaches consider it very highly and then only on 1 or 2 player and after 1 or 2 skills at least.

free three movement. I gave my Treemen pass block just because of that.

I understand that, but how often will he really get to use it, i mean your not gonna have him use it if he has to dodge are ya?

Who voluntarily stands next to a Treeman, though?

me too, even if it works once a match, the looks on the face on the other side of the board is worth it!
