By, you can't pass the ball to a really stupid troll either. Is it working as it's supposed to?


In the question given, the bone-headed ogre already had the ball (so he's holding to it, even tough he doesn't know really well why he has that funny leather stuff that's not a goblin in his hands).

I think he scores the td, and someone tells him afterwards what he has accomplished Wink

Yes... it is a TD, he has the ball and stands in the end zone

I fully agree with Roland - that rule really irritates me as there is no logic to it. Any player holding the ball in the endzone should count as a touchdown.

Think of a "touchdown" as a rugby-style score, not a (American) football style. So you don't just "break the plane" of the goal and stand (or run) there, but you have to push the ball down onto the ground there to score.

In Rugby, if you can hold the ballcarrier (or just his ball-hand) off the ground, it doesn't matter where he's standing.

BL'd Vamps don't bother actually stopping to "touch the ball down" - a technical but necessary formality.

(Don't ask me how this interpretation deals w/ BH/etc.

Also... it's a game. Get over it.)

Which is fine.... except that the Stupid Troll/Bonehead Ogre/Hypno-ed player does touch the ball down?

(cross edit)

Maybe in BB he has to "stop" there - and the Vamp doesn't stop.

There.

Boneheaded or really stupid or gazed players automatically fail all catch rolls.


*If* the player was holding the ball already but went bonehead..

..couldn't you just chain push him in for the score?

So you can bean them with the spiked ball?


In effect, yes.

Gaze
-> handoff spiked ball
--> free stab
---> new meta is born


...can you even hand off to an opposing player? I need to go play another test game.

Um... welcome to the conversation. See OP (or

??? - no.


The only counter-argument, for NOT scoring w/ BH, is that the player does not have a move to take. BUT, if the Defense can cause a score while it's their Turn... I'd think there should be no diff here.

(Now, what if the D pushes a BoneHead in? Could they still try to knock the ball loose or push him OB? Do they deserve the option to try?)

The answer to this is yes. You can even hand it off to a prone player of either team. The usefulness of this is fringe but in some desperate situation you can hope for some favorable bounces here and there. Playing with a spiked ball against some gang-fouling skeletons makes a lot of sense though...

You will of course lose your turn if either the opposing player grabs the ball or it lands on the ground. Should it bounce back to any of your players that proceeds to catch it, there is no turnover.

But doesn't this only apply in the opponent's turn if you read the rules as they are written? Razz

no, its a td this thread is silly, people need to stop trying to use logic and fluff to support their argument. The rules are clear here, Blood Lust is a specific exception written in to the rules any other time a player stands in the end zone it is a TD immediately.

But the rule you are using to call the TD in your own turn is from the "Scoring In The Opponent's Turn"-section.

no its not. rules for scoring td in your turn -

A team scores a TD during their turn when one of their players is standing in the opposing team's end zone while holding the ball at the end of any of your players' Actions.
