It's not whether or not it was a stupid question, the mistake was asking "us". Wink

GL w/ team!

If you want to make better use of his abilities as a thrower, your best bet would be to build some goblins to receive. While Animosity is a problem, at worst your going to have your thrower retain the ball. Having a stunty receiver with Two Heads/Extra Arms/Catch will allow you to score from a lot of what would be hopeless situations.

So if I get this right, your reason to do this with a goblin is access to the catch skill?

Yeah, a troll needs a double to take catch.

Then you're heading down a tough road, and one that Underworld is really not designed for. They can do it, but it's going against the grain.

It's lose/lose - a gobbo can get Catch but has Animosity, so a flat 1/6 to fail before you start. A skaven lino avoids Animosity, but needs doubles for Catch and starts with no Dodge, which is another doubles.

The Underworld "air game" should be a desperation play, not a game plan. And before you optimize "desperation plays", there's pro'ly something better to spend your skills on.

But "fun" is where you find it, so ymmv. GL!

The underworld air game involves trolls, I'm not sure why you're talking about linemen and gobbos.

Only b/c the OP was talking about a Thrower, not a troll - not b/c I disagree with you. Your point just underlines my own.
