Just a little idea/personal opinion. Cheerleaders and assistant coaches rarely seem to be bought by player. Their cost, even if low, doesn't seem to be on par with their potential utility, and they affect your TV. Making them inducements would let you rent some(with your inducement money or petty cash) without affecting your TV, and when you get smaller inducement money you could do something with it that is not overpowered.

Your opinions?

edit: 20k idea of woodstock is good
edit2: and/or put a limit like all the other inducement, like 0-2 for each

Hmm, maybe make them 20k or even 30k to induce... otherwise they might be too good as inducement. Would make a funny house rule.

im starting to wonder if they are undervalued by coaches currently, have played some older teams with 3 or 4 of each lately and laughed at the stupidity of the other coach only for them to win every kick off roll through them. Its something to think about...

Nice idea. Would help with the annoying odd bits of inducement money (10-40k) you can't currently use.

Yes, great idea, I think that 30k would be very nice... or 20 pheraps

i'd set them at 30, just so that the dreaded 40k inducement didn't mean 2 of them.

Also, I think they are more useful that people give them credit. 10 TV for much better chance of a RR on the kickoff table?

I like that idea. Just wouldn't want to ban them from the roster, but make the induced staff additional - like apos and RRs.

Edit:
My Agility Monsters have two assistant coaches fluff-wise - defensive and offensive coordinators. Smile

Ssssh... Don't talk about them... You can't imagine the number of rerolls i have secured just by adding 20k TV in my box teams. How will i struggle victories if other coaches buy some too?

Well, on subject, making them 20k would be quite a good idea, yeah.

Think this should be in LRB7 when it comes out.

+1 as 20k. I think it would be a good house rule for League. The dreaded 40k would allow you 1 of each (or 2 of 1 if you so chose). The coach 40k up is still in a better position (2 normal skills vs. 2 items that normally only cost 20k to buy pre-game).

+1. I like the idea of 20k each as inducement.

This was playtested during the vault process and got canned (- though I don't remember the cost)
It made Ch/AC even less popular than they already are. And it made it quite easy to have 'just one more' than your opponent when you were the underdog.

Maybe make it even less precise... 50K for 2 staff?
