Big Guys

All of the rules that apply to other players apply to Big Guys also, except where specifically modified in the Big Guy rules that follow. The characteristics, skills and traits of Big Guy players are included on the Big Guy player lists below.

Fortunately for most Blood Bowl players, most Big Guys are simply not all that interested in playing Blood Bowl, mainly because most Big Guys are too stupid to really understand the rules of the game! Although Big Guys do occasionally play in all Big Guy teams, they are far more frequently seen as members of other teams. It is rare for Goblin teams to take to the field without a Troll or two on the roster, for example, and there are many Chaos teams that include Minotaurs in their ranks. Most ubiquitous of all are Ogre players, who have been known in their time to play for just about every Blood Bowl team in the Old World!

To represent this, many teams are allowed to include up to one Big Guy on their team. Halfling and Goblin teams are an exception to this, and may include a total of two Big Guys in their ranks. The Big Guy player list that follows shows teams that can include a Big Guy. Each Big Guy counts as one of the 16 players that make up a team. Players like Morg 'n' Thorg are Star Players, so don't count against the limit of Big Guys allowed on the team.

The stats, skills and costs for Big Guy players are shown below. Big Guys will only play for certain teams. The allied teams section in the player list dictates which teams the Big Guy can play for.

Most Big Guys can only take Strength skills. A Big Guy that rolls a double while making a Star Player roll may choose to take a Strength Trait, or General, Passing, Strength or Agility Skills. Rat Ogres, Minotaurs and Beasts of Nurgle can also take Physical abilities (representing mutations) if they roll a double.
