Hullo Hive mind. I sort of know what I want to take, but what do you guys think I should take for my Legend skill? It was a normal skill roll for rare Skink Legend,! Mishter Imposhible. The Terrordactyls are currently in the Lustrian Challenge, and will be up against Uedder's Wood Elves. Make you case for skill please. Only 5 Options, and Sneaky Git WILL NOT be taken, but will be left in place of Pie. Pound some pavement, sisters. |

I chose the Sneaky Git Pie because it is the only logical use of any skink with Sneaky Git. An avoidance of Pie option shifts my answer to the most absurd. Pie should always be an option... even in prison. |

Catch is probably best with your oneturning. |

It would be something to consider, apart from it being a General Skill. Given the choice of general skill, it wouldn't be in the top 5 for a double Roll. |

It's between Catch and Diving Tackle. And you don't want to use a +MA +AG Legend skink to mark people, so go with Catch. |

Diving tackle is a nono.
Catch or jump up. Jump up might help sometimes to get those extra 3 steps needed but since you have surefeet sprinter.. it isn't that effective isn't it?
I'd go for catch for sure. You have to other ag4 player who can pass and other players can just hand off if they have ball and you need to get it to your legend.
Leap isn't THAT bad either. Especially against sidecages it helps if you leap into it and blitz (one die for some catchers or red/half/-2 die for other ballcarriers) and surf isn't usually that farfetched unless ballcarrier has sidestep or stand firm.
So catch if you want dedicated ballcarrier that can also receive (occasionally)
Or jumpup if you are this guy seems to be down a lot and missing the 3 key steps
Or leap if jumping into sidelinecages seems option for you.. leaping might be handy also when oneturning or in other kind of tight spot. |

I think catch to help out with the one turn option.
Jump Up is good for those legendary recovery moments, when he is taken down but then recovers the ball. |

Why leap on a 3+ when you dodge anywhere on a 2+ anyway?
It's catch or JU, and most likely catch. |

'Cos you can't dodge through walls of players and ain't a 2+ if you are in a diving tackle zone... but how often does that happen?
But I would say the only skill you are likely to use more than once or twice a game is jump up. For those times you are taking a beating, when those dodges and gfis fail and he stays on the pitch. |

I can agree Jump up is a fair choice, but lets be serious, this guy has one foot in the grave. Marking guys isn't his thang.
Leap can be helpful for those, once per 5 game chances where you cant get through a cage.
I knew what I was taking before the poll, I just thought it would be fun for other to speculate. |
