Galak, i know this is in general chat, and i know it says "Dice Rolls", but can you use pro to re-roll a failed spell cast. I'm assuming no, but i'm not 100% certain as i haven't use the spellcasters
Skummy had it right ... its not considered a skill roll, so Pro, Leader, Team and Trophy rerolls don't work. Its actually a pretty important part of balancing out the spellcaster we've found in our testing in the MBBL2. Spells like the Chaos Warp Bolt are just too good if they can be rerolled; however if it cannot be rerolled its a good balanced risk.
And we also felt it matched the text about wizards ... not too many references in stories of wizards being able to fix a misspoke incantation.
The other 2 reasons I love the rule, its an expensive player that comes with a built in I break easy factor. So if you don't like the team's wizard ... break his neck. The other reason I like the rule, the wizards add flavor, but rarely have I felt that the game was decided by a spellcaster. So they add flavor without abuse.
These rules are definitely not for some folks. But really it one of the best house rules I've ever played with in my time with BB. The rules have changed a LOT since the non-defunct MLF league created them as testing and more testing and more testing brought the rules into balance.
There are few large scale house rule changes I support for the game. The ones the MBBL2 now use are the ones easiest to understand and balanced ... but of all the rules the MBBL2 has used ... these rules have seen the most testing and I think are the most balanced.
