Now i've played skaven lots in a board game league, and i'm sure that all skaven team players got access to the physical ability. so playing online here i expected the same and discovered this to be against the board game. So i checked in the LBR and there it is confirmed, skaven players have access to physical along with chaos players.
So how come when i gain enough SPP for a player, on the skill choices there are no physical choices? Do i have to do something special to activate them? A friend of mind who plays chaos has not had to do so, all his players get access to the physical abilities. Does the site currently not allow skaven choose physical abilities?
any help would be a big help. |

Well you need doubles but other than that they work fine. |

they work exactly like the board game, as thmbscrws said you need doubles to get them, dunno how your tabletop league played it of course |

hmmm never remember needing doubles to get access to physical, is this a 'house' rule of the site? or did me and my bg mates not realise that it was only on a double? considering i'm looking at the relavant LBr page and there's stars all along skaven players for physical which to me suggests that a double is not required.... |

basically how it works is, there are skills and then there are traits, you need a double to take a trait. All of the physicals are traits and thus require a double like standfirm is a str trait. It's been this way since the lrb came out, though i believe you always needed doubles for the physicals. |

heh then we always played it wrong in the bg league. but then again we had a skaven team and a chaos team. So we were happy lol. Perhaps the others should have read the rules a tad closer.
Cheers guys |

Can I join your league. Chaos or Skavs? That's the only question. |

I want in on that league too! You got it right DoubleSkulls: The only downside would be the lack of block on a middle developed chaos team (+1 AG? DAMMIT I WANTED RSC!!!)...heh heh heh. Of course the Skaven would be hard to beat with their default 4 one-turners... |

How long can you keep a skaven one turner alive in that league, where every beast man has Claw Rsc and every big guy has tenteacles, and every other swinging dick has whatever he wants from the wish list. |

Heh, not just big buys, if there were one turners I would put tentacles on everyone. That STR 2 isn't going far. In the words of Mortal Kombat's scorpion "Get over here. . "
