"i wonder if po would get him out of take root"
No it doesn´t since PO only workes if you follow up a block and when you are takeing root you are not allowed to follow up. |

So nice to have to be perfect when the rest of the world doesn't have the same requirement.
Without getting into the details ... the discussion on the Ogre team and no General skill access for BGs was mixed with several topics that were under much heavier debate ... this really isn't a problem and is fixable but yeah we forgot to add a disclaimer about what happens with the current rules for these players until the Vault's extra ST skills kick in a couple of years from now.
Simple enough fix ... we already had worked out the rule for this situation for Vault 1.4 and I see Christer already clarified this the way I expect it to be clarified.

So let's see...str skills...mb (BG comes automatically)...Break Tackle (6), Guard (16), Multi-block (31), PO (51)...so if you ever get a BG up to 76 spps for his fifth skill, you'll be allowed to take block and pro and all the other fun stuff once more. Of course, good luck avoiding aging by this point...not to mention how many BG's actually get up to that many spps? In all my teams, I've only ever had one single BG get to his 51 spp skill roll, let alone beyond... |

Without Block and Tackle or Sure Hands ... it takes a lot longer to get SPPs for BGs.

they made shit players from big guys ... It takes time to make em rise an ability...and when it raises you cant even get block...so annoying.
Same goes for skaven linemen...They cant get dodge now...Great! Av7, so you fall and fall and fall and fall.
Thanks for make my hate to GW bigger each day Jervis. If you want us to spend our $$ in your games, at least make em playable.
Is there a point in breaking something that works? Yeah, spoiling the fun of hundreds of fans.

Hey, does anyone remember back when star players were the only big guys?
The game was still fun back then, and you're not even losing BGs, just a skill or two...
I for one would be glad if BGs were made so bad nobody would ever take them. But they aren't. They're making them effectively equivalent to a positional player, and everyone still takes them, right? |

Why dont you go make a game that thousands of people enjoy and leave playing bloodbowl for people who can appreciate the game for what it is . |
