Why not make pass block better by letting you leap while pass blocking? |

You can already leap while making a pass block move AFAIK...unless you're suggesting adding it for free to the pass block action.
The reason pass block isn't taken so much is more cause coaches tend not to pass unless they are forced too, and pass block bugs seem to be a bit more common than others. |

Also too because pass block is seen as a "sucky" skill and Blood bowl got team balance better.
When team value wasn't factored into games, pass block was taken more. Because it was a 1600tv elf team taking on a 1100tv orc team, people took it as their 4th or 5th skill. Now people get concerned about team bloat and extra tv leading to someone getting a big guy or extra reroll. |

You cannot use leap with pass block, I have tried. I like pass block because it tends to force teams not to pass when that might be an option otherwise, while it might not be a game breaking skill, it does make coaches think twice about what they are doing.
Edit: Correction, apparently you should be able to use leap with pass block but the client does not support it. |

I agree with other comments that the rules as written already support the combination of these skills. If it doesn't work in the client, then what you have is a bug report, not a rules suggestion.
Which is probably a good thing for you, because no-one really gives a toss about rules suggestions, in general. Whereas bug reports will at least in-principle be addressed eventually.
This isn't the place to make them though, go to Help->Bugs, check if it's a duplicate, and add it to the list. |

I didn't realize it was a bug until a few moments ago. |

im pretty sure you are able to combine pass block and leap in the client. have had a few of those players, and it worked fine. |

Just tested it in test-mode...not a bug, works fine- you are allowed to use leap in your pass block move as it should be. You should try test-mode when you have these questions as you can add the skills and change stats at will. |
