Hi people,

today, i used my brand almost new safe-throw, laughing alone for being so evil because it seemed to me that if i try a 6+ pass and fail, then i keep the ball, but didn't expect a turnover... Thought i could continue to play like nothing happened !!!

So, was it something in my eye, a miss-click, or did it really happen & safe throw doesn't avoid the turnover when you miss the pass ?

Please say NO !

it will allow you to hold onto the ball if you fumble it. If you miss the pass you miss the pass.

Not for natural 1s, they still cause a turnover. So your 6+ pass is 2+ from a fumble turnover point of view (just like HMP)

(plus indeed, if you fail to catch by whatever reason including scattered passes)

Safe throw is to avoid interception, make an unmodifired agility roll to avoid.
Also it cancels a fumble EXCEPT when its a natural 1, anything fails on a natural 1 and anything succeeds on a natural 6.

I think what he's asking is "I suffered a turnover missing a throw with safe throw. It wasn't a 1, the thrower still had the ball, but it was a turnover nonetheless. Is this how the skill works?"

I don't know the answer tho.

It's a bug. Safe Throw should not cause a turnover in that manner, but it does. Plan accordingly. https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=bugs&op=view&id=1426

Is it possible that the thrower fumbled the ball and then caught it again after the bounce?

Can you show us the log?

It's from turn 2, 2nd half of this game. The WE Thrower rolled a 4 on a 5+ long pass in the sun, rerolled to a 3 and correctly held on to the ball. Then the bug caused a turnover.

Sorry Lucci, that did indeed seem like a bug when it happened. At least I rolled many, many, many skulls. And made many, many, many noobish mistakes. All well that ends well? Smile

Anyone know how safe throw works with bombs in this regard? i.e. does a non-1 fumble roll result in the thing blowing itself up? If so, should it?

States except when throwing bombs and team mates

Glad I didn't take Safe Throw when I was mulling over my Elf Thrower's options the other day...

Issues like this are why I'm annoyed that the Client is still closed-source. Active development should be ongoing, but it's not. Sad
