To counter putting all the eggs in one basket the skill slots must be reduced and the stat boosts capped.
Even if Officious Ref targeted the best player, the impact on games would be too limited to discourage building stat freaks.

I think, overall, being sent off on a random event is B.S. & OP'd.

I won't go into specifics, but what I'd like to see, is it re-named to "Argue the Call" or something similar. And at worst, risk being KO'd after a 'fight' w/ the ref. Being, knocked down, stunned or KO'd seems enough for a random events outcome, in so far as it effects the game.

Edit:
D6
1-3 - Knocked Down
4-5 - Stunned
6 - KO'd

I always liked the idea of throw rock. Imagining a treeman or something large throwing a rock at a player.

But I think it'd be more interesting if an obelisk remained on the pitch till the end of the game. Taking up a square on the pitch. It would function like a wall or statue does in blitz bowl..

If the rock lands on a square occupied by a player they should roll an ag roll to avoid it and if they fall av and inj...

But having an immovable object on the pitch would add a tactical dimension to the game.. that would be interesting

Maybe have trapdoors on the kick-off table instead of as a PTN?
