Good to see more Blood Bowl LPs. I was an avid watcher back during the first round of BB LPs, and I hope we get some more goons into it to play against you so it's not just Grognards Tryhards.

It was still very useful. I have one question that seems really silly, the dice faces, I get the arrow, just pushes, the Skull, you fall down, The explosion(?) you knock the other player down, explosion with skull, you BOTH fall down, what is the explosion with a exclamation point? Is that the one you knock them down with a chance to injure? Or is it just a higher chance of injury? Does explosion imply chance for injury?

The explosion symbol with the exclaimation point is Defender Stumbles, which is treated as a normal knockdown just like the normal explosion symbol, unless your opponent has Dodge, in which case it only counts as a push. It's one of the reasons why Dodge, along with Block, are considered some of the most important skills to have early on, since it negates the 'bad' effects of one of your Block Dice rolls.

And yes, you can have both abilities on a player, affectionately known in the community as being a Blodge player. Blodgers are annoying to deal with since normally, they only get knocked down when punched on 1 out of 6 dice results as opposed to the 3-on-6 you'd normally have.

Shadowing is just one of those skills that can really trip people up, even experienced players, because if you ever /forget/ that Shadowing is a Thing you have to deal with, it can lead to some hilarious 'Watch this fucker have to roll five dodges in a row' moments as the Shadowing character hounds their every step.

Man 355, you really need to buy some real spikes for your armor instead of those fake styrofoam spikes you're using, because you just can't get a cas for love or money.

+MA on Fleetfoot for maximum bullshit. Had you not rolled so well, I would have said Sidestep just for annoyance value.

Also voting for the Nuffle Alter, cause I wanna see me some Star Playahs.

Block for Starence, Guard for Lincoln, so we can better leverage our strength advantage.

You people are spelling it wrong. The skink's name should be WRASSLE, in all caps.

It's too late, we already voted for all the boring skills that every other lizard team ever has. Because we enjoy throwing away the power to make this team unique.

The problem with trying to make a team unique for the sake of being unique is that it quickly makes most of the the team basically useless at higher TV, and that ironically leads to games that are ultimately boring because your options on doing anything useful become limited. The very first Blood Bowl LP team on the forums was cKnoor's Changer of Plays, and because people went wild with niche skills, there were maybe three or four useful players on the entire team, and the rest existed basically to serve as punching bags while Mister Hadwich scored every single touchdown.

It's better to get your basic, 'boring' skills first before you start trying to go for uniqueness, because at least then you'll have a solid base from which to try wild and crazy poo poo rather than a team who may once in six games try anything crazy simply because even playing cautiously will result in a one in three chance of failure and being crazy is wildly more dangerous.

Mighty Blow, since Agent355 needs all the help he can get with murdering people considering how many times we've heard him say how bad he is at rolling injuries or how well the opposing team's AV holds up.

TARGET ELIMINATED.

That said, I vote for Break Tackle, so that we can move our Frenzier better and have more opportunities to Frenzy Trap ourselves.

Wrassle gets Sidestep and Fleetfoot I'm gonna say should get Jump Up, so he can continue being the single most bullshit player imaginable.
