One of my key players in my Skaven team Hifflitik's Runners, has been the rat ogre. Now at + 75 spp he gained a niggling injury, making me question his existence. This is because I feel that skaven need a big body at a regular basis, lending (guarding) assists, and soaking some damage that the other taily fellows might otherwise be prone to.

In brevity, the question is: should I fire his rat's ass?

Oops, I now realise that the question is formed in a rather self-evident manner. Nevertheless, language is not only formal syntax, but meaning is formed in the interaction between text and receiver. Embarassed I.e. I think you know what I'm getting at...

I voted no because you did not provide a link to the team, so making an educated opinion is impossible.

Without the team link, people who are lazy (like me and everyone else) will just give you their personal opinion on whether or not all nigglers should be retired.

You should definately retire or keep him.

Yep, if you do not retire or keep him I don't know what to do.

You should keep, seeing as you now need a dub to get both block and tackle the niggle might be worth putting up with for those reasons alone.

If you keep him:

1/6 (17%) matches-> no rat ogre
5/6 (83%) matches-> a grand dad-level rat ogre gets to play instead of a newbie

My opinion (I am NOT a Skaven expert, mind you):
If you need a rat ogre for his tail or to tie up players, toss the niggled guy ASAP. If you need a reliable blocker, keep him until he gets another permanent stat minus.

Definitely keep him. He didn't even age at 76spp so take that as a sign that he wants to stay and play. Smile

After spending hours of pondering your grandiose dilemma, I'd be willing to answer; definately maybe.

(I'd keep him myself tho)

Keep him. You can't replace the 3 general skills and it's obvious you are no good at rolling doubles with a Rat Ogre Smile

No you shouldn't. He has been quite capable even with a NI. http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=964385

keep, he is awesome. You'll not get another one to that good without a niggle, yet still getting all those skills.
