Is the piledriver a bonus foul action from the skill or is it your one team turn foul?
Thanks |

I think we need to play it as the latter until we get an errata/faq, which is a shame because it makes the skill useless and is a big deterrence to rolling random Strength skills. |

For me, it is a bonus foul action : in same turn, you can take your foul action with a player then foul again with one player with Pile driver skill (who can be sent off normally if he rolls a double).
That's what means "free foul" in Pile driver skill description, according to me. |

The above makes sense as you could have multiple players with the skill if rolling randomly and the interpretation above allows multiple use of the skill. |

I agree... it allows multiple fouls in one turn as long as you're willing to risk the send off. |

I remember goin' round on this and coming up with "it's a bonus foul, doesn't count for your one foul per turn," but I don't remember why that conclusion was reached. |

What's a real shame is that Pile Driver ends that player's action. What would have been hilarious would have been Sneaky Git/Jump Up/Pile Driver synergy - blitz somebody, knock them down, kick them in the teeth and then run away again - but I can dream of that showing up in the 2024 ruleset  |

Okay, so Pretty Woman is definitely saving up for Pile Driver. |

If we are counting this as a foul, and I think we should, and it can be taken on multiple players, then is it theoretically possible to do 11 fouls a turn?
Can someone let neilwat know please? he can now more easily break his own record for number of fouls at a one day tournament. |

Probably only a need for pile driver if you are the rare coach who fouls a lot? Even people with dedicated foulers like JR's above often only fouling once or twice per match. If you don't mind a few folks getting sent off then fill your boots. |

Best skill on a Deathroller by far. Comes with Jugger, just use a Piledriver blitz every single turn. Boom. Player removal.
Remember folks, 170k secret weapons get sent off anyway, may as well give the ref an excuse. Not like you can cage-break with him any more, so just smash stuff. |

Personally I only foul every other turn, but only because I haven't figured out how to foul in my opponents turn |
