I really love FUMBBL and all of the rules are so much better than when I started playing blood bowl in real life. There is just one rule I really, really hate: ageing.
How do you guys think about it and is there any way to get rid of it? |

My problem with ageing lies (mainly) with fluff.
It is supposed to represent older, seasoned players getting towards the end of their career and their many blood bowl related injuries catching up with them. When you buy a brand new player and they age after their first game I don't feel that is a realistic representation!
Also it's f***ing annoying!!  |

Yeah I think it's annoying as well. It would be better if ageing starts at higher levels (with the small chances you have now) and would depend on previous injuries...
51+ ageing on a roll of 2 etc
Modifiers: every injury is +1 to the ageing roll. Something like that would be more reasonable. |

I think only from third (31) or fourth (51) skill a player should be able to age, it's not even very logically that a player who was just hired ages because he had too many sports...So I am not against ageing, I voted the balancing thing, but it should be changed to at least 31 for first ageing, on double 1. This way you'd be getting a legend more easily too. |

Yeah play div x (good joke isn't it?).
Anyway I think that ageing should add a dead roll in his table. He has taken too many drugs and so and since science isn't that great, they can't handle it right and the players die. |

Have to agree... If a skellie ages after 6SP then u can easily ditch him and buy a new one... But a Bull Centaur, Wardancer, Mummy or Big guy... that's when u get really pissed off!...
Low AV teams especially aging is annoying... you do your best to keep them out of harms way, only for the damn dice to inflict that niggle on you instead!... bah! |

I´m a bit torn on the issue of ageing.
On one hand it prevents the really hard, i.e. high rating, teams of going over the top completely.
But
On the other hand it can occure to early, as already pointed out above, and can really devaste an up-and-coming team.
There´s already amble posibility to die on the AstroGranite as it is, especially with the fouling trend gaining ground (but that´s a completely other topc, and one I don´t wont to get into), without players getting NI from getting SPP´s.
I might be a bit of a perfectionist, but I love watching a team grow and players develop and are prone to releasing players suffering from a NI (bit like the Majors eehhh with all that "Lack of skill" B*******). Because they´re unreliable but still adds to your rating.
One extreme approach to this could be to skip on the skills when your players reach higher levels, but that would simply be out of character and very very dull...everyone wants the skills right??? |

What i'd realy like to see changed is that you could only age from the third (or even the second) skill on.
Ageing on the first skill is one of the lousiest things that can happen and it's just not logical to me also.
I mean ageing is getting old, you can get the first skill in one game, 1 skill is not getting old.
Ah i just hate it i guess
Also, play more Divx people |

i think removing the ageing roll on 6 spp and 16 spss would be fair just to get rid of those early agenings and then start at 31 spp and roll as normal i think that would be the most balanced way to go |
