okay, but a khemri passer has a skill that they will never "want" to use in pass, a complete waste. Even if they get + agility who are they going to throw to? They should instead be runners with 7 3 2 7 with sure hands G A and 70k. And the Ghoul is so fragile, and so disappointing. If you ever get one skilled up to be useful he is destined to die dodging on 2+ while attempting to score you the winning touchdown. And I doubt we will ever see any legend Ghouls.

Well, there is a valid, and not uncommon use: throwing the ball down field to an empty square in an emergency. Also, Thro-ras can take Hail Mary Pass on a normal role, and you can use pass to reroll it. Your opponent won't be expecting it!

I have seen Khemri score because of that pass skill far more than I wish I had. Obviously its not a good first choice to use pass but it is still nice for them to have as a back up for absolute emergencies.

As anyone who has seen me throw knows, I'm the worst by a mile!

Human catchers are awesome, on the other hand. +20k for A access, 2Ma and two starting skills (yes I know -1ST, but still)! Awesome deal!

Not quite true. Amazon blitzers have no nega-trait and get both S and A access.

I am not a fan of DE runners but at least they get +MA for losing a point of AV. I think DE Assassins are the only positional with a stat line entirely worse than a lineman?

Macavity may have agility 2, really hungry, off for a bite and ma 5. But he does come with Piling On, which we all know is really good in LRB6, so he is not too bad.

DE runners i like, the extra MZ to keep up with the blitzers is handy, and the dump off is a good last ditch option, and they can get leader easily.


Assassins are just terrible at everything.

And no dissing assassins! Multi-stab is awesome! Smile
