Not everyone learns the rulebook by heart and chants its paragraphs every day heh It's not something you're going to run into often ; and I think you can have MA11 in LRB4 too, so it would explain the confusion. Therefore it's not a rule you're likely to remember all the time, more like one where you'll go "ah of course" when you fall onto it. |

Also, how often does one roll a double stat that would go over ten? Not usually, unless you play a few of the races that could possibly even do that ie. Skaven, Wood Elves, Halfling. I don't play those races so that would explain why this rule is not so common to me or to some others. |

what about AV9 teams? they can all potentially get AV11, except for this rule. |

They'd have to take av+ instead of the mv+ for av9 teams to run into that, and av9 teams usually lack in movement so they take the mv+ |

As far as I recall, this was a rule back in my 3rd edition boxed set, though Shadow's argument that page 26 rules are more common really doesn't make sense to me. |

Not sure he was suggesting it was more common. Just that, erm, it is a rule. And the rules arn't common or uncommon really. They're just rules. Every bit as common as the limit to two above initial stat. Part of the same rule in fact. |

imo...an "uncommon" rule would be one that is a brief blurb that you have to spend 20 minutes scouring the rulebook for....an uncommon rule would *not* be on that is part of the skill advancement section, and is directly underneath the dice roll chart for skill advancement...

You know why I love you, Shadow? You'd never bother adding the "h" to "imo" because it's never true!
@Asharak: true, but I'd already said that! |

As a matter of fact, I meant that it was an "uncommon" rule because it is not very "common" for that rule to come up in general game play. Ancre has it exactly right. Perhaps "common" or "uncommon" are not the right words to use, but you generally do not come across that rule very often. |

oh, i don't disagree at all with the understanding that you don't come across it very often...
my point was more along the lines of insinuating the problem is a glitch, instead of checking the rulebook first....
yes, i get there are glitches in the system, but people around here need to learn to start doing more research into something instead of immediately jumping into false conclusions about everything, or expecting the community to do their research for them...

Well, no stat above 10 is a very basic and well known part of the rulebook. Anyone who isny aware of that has no place posting on a blood bowl rules website IMO.
I mean, it would be great if we could blame other people for everything that goes wrong in the world, but surely we must encourage people to accept at least a small amount of responsibility for their own incompetence. Ignorance is not a virtue. |

Oh puh-lease. Stats could go above ten in LRB 4, and this site is still mainly LRB 4. If only people who knew the CRP rules by heart were allowed to post here, this site would be very, very quiet. |

Wild animal players still have to move first in CRP, correct? |
