I'm gonna vote for Block as well. Sure, other skills sound nice, and this may be a rare opportunity, but sometimes it's better to go for the sure thing that'll accelerate leveling now. Especially since Agent has already had trouble getting the team off the ground so far. And I'm looking forward to seeing Skinks running ball shenanigans while the Krox and Sauruses punch things.

As for the new Skink name... Canada?

Rule number one, don't get me killed.
As much as I'd love to vote Leap or something stupid for our Saurus, let's be real. We want to see dead elves/rats/etc, and Block leads to dead enemy players.

We'll give him a leaping Krox when it inevitably gets doubles.

I'm dangerously tempted to vote dodge in preparation of break tackle shenanigans but it will take a drat eternity to hit that point so Block rules the day. However, I'm gonna vote break tackle for at least half of these saurs because nothing is more terrifying than a saurus that can actually dodge.

Yes we can expect to roll doubles 1/6th of the time. Which means yes we'll probably get dodge at some point in the not to distant future.
However +ma or +av is a very rare roll! you get what? 1/12th? or 1/18th of the time?

It's a shame we didn't get +ma on the saurus with frenzy, that would've made for an amazing blitzer. On the flip side having an extra point of AV means that when you don't have block and you roll both down, you're much less likely to die.


So of course I'm voting for Dodge Agent355 has been avoiding an elf team all along, this will finally open him up to facing off against some crazy elven coaches.

EDIT: Also if we're going to only give 5/6 saurus block, it makes sense that the one that doesn't get block at level 1 should be one with a special roll. Maybe people should be voting for wrestle? who knows. Block is a bit boring though considering that the next two level up's will also be block 100%.

EDIT: my option isn't going to win, so like a baby I'll change my vote to Dodge.

We will get plenty more opportunities for Dodge, and I too know the pain of sauruses who don't have Block for ages. My lizard team ended up with three blodging sauruses, and one of them had his first two rolls be 12 and doubles, so I had to wait until the third skillup to give him bloody Block. (Yes I gave him Sure Hands and yes it was awesome eventually, but that's not the point.) Please go with Block for the sake of Agent's sanity.

Voting Dodge because:

1) Agent advocated choosing block for this level up. (Either just pick what you want yourself or let people vote without giving advice on what you think the :airquote: right vote is.)
2) Voting block on a doubles roll is proof Blood Bowl is a game for assholes. (Who else would vote for a bog standard choice when given an opportunity to be creative. :colbert:)

You're an idiot. The LPer can give as much advice and commentary he wants; it's still his LP. And Dodge on a Sarrus isn't creative mate but Block is a more useful skill that will lead to more level ups.

Yeah, I agree. We can get to the skink-related shenanigans and fun skill choices once all the Sauri have block.
