So mr and DrPoods were chatting last night about doing some build challenges to spice up the game a bit - what do I mean by a build challenge? I mean making a player who fulfills a role through uncharacteristic and unconventional skill picks: In a word - Horny McHooves
Basically we cycled through a bunch of big guys who we'd make into unlikely ball carriers. I kind of want to do a Beast of Nurgle ball carrier but realized that he doesn't come with Mutations on normal rolls. Despite you know...BEING ON THE TEAM KNOWN FOR THEIR MUTATIONS, GOOD JOB RULES COMMITTEE, REAL FINE WORK HERE! DID YOU DESIGN THE FORD PINTO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
Anywhoo...
I think Mutations are necessary for actually making a ridiculous Big Guy ball carrier somewhat competent - the extra arms alone is a huge boon to the build but throw in Two Heads (which you pair with Break Tackle) and now we're cooking!
With that said, The Warpstone Troll really seems to be the only other viable candidate for a player anyone can build into a ball carrier besides the chaos mino. Anyone want to do some silliness in Ranked or Box and report back on the misadventures? |

I think you'd have a lot more success with an Ogre than a Warpstone Troll. I think you're perhaps overvaluing Mutations compared to that extra Ma and Ag that an Ogre has (which is better than extra arms). Either a Pact or Human Ogre would be my choice.
I carried a lot with Blasio until his recent untimely death on a 2+ dodge. |

No doubt, i considered the ogre but ultimatley i dont think its much of a challenge considering that you can play Ogres and thats just what you have to do. |

Yeah, but on a Human team it'd be cool. It's not like there are hundreds of Ogre success stories  |

Oh God!! Mino'yards??? That is just crazy enough to work... Not like we are talking about massively streamlined builds anyway...
But, Wild Animal would make it extremely difficult. AND mutations on doubles? That's a helluva challenge. |

Good luck to you all in your attempts. |

My Treeman Thrower worth noting a lot of the passes were thrown to my other Treeman (Catcher).
The tables on the player profiles are woefully out of date as I have not played them in a long time.
My Box Kroxigor is currently on a run of 9 TD in 9 Games (with only 2 games without a TD) and has also picked up 2 Passes along the way.
I tried a Mino but he kept dying and it's a lot easier than others to do.
The Challenge is to see a Mummy Thrower/Scorer...
Good luck with anything you fun and interesting enough to pursue  |

Rat Ogre would be interesting, has a higher opportunity cost when using him in favour of an Ag4 ball handler when compared to a Minotard. But with speed, ag2, and frenzy I reckon the Rogre would do very well even without taking any mutations. |

Okay, I am in with this Mino! I was planning, and still am planning to make him a Break Tackling Two Headed Cage Breaker. The AG helps this as well. Next Skill will be two heads for Sure. |

My blind spot! Yeah, a Rogre would be cool and especially so if he gets lucky with doubles. |
