So... I would like to ask my fellow Fumbblers for some advice. I have a Marauder who acts as back up ball carrier. Was hoping for double to get dodge, but alas, no dodge. So to keep him in his current roll, a tad lost as which skill to give him. Thanks in advance.

Strip Ball.
He's already set up well for back-up ball handling
But Strip Ball would make him more dangerous on defense, when he can get the odd block on the ball, and guarantee the ball comes loose. With 4ST, he'll be 2d on most blocks anyway, and the 4AG gives him more mobility.

I'd say Strip Ball now, and Tackle on his next normal roll to make a sacker.
Dodge and Sure Hands will be good in the future as well, if you want him to carry the ball for any length, but barring the doubles for dodge, Strip Ball, Tackle, and Juggernaut are probably a good build plan.

To be honest he doesnt really need anything with str4 and ag4, for being a "backup" ball carrier, which I imagine means he is a finisher or is taking the ball only when your drive runs into trouble or the main guy is out, ie rarely. I would say, best make him a good useful all round player and let him help with the ball on the rare occassion it is needed and rely on his str and ag to carry him through.

Sure hands is the only obvious skill and that isnt really necessary when you already have one. I think tackle or mighty blow would be more useful more often than the skills you mention, I imagine he does a lot of blitzing?

If I was you, the gobbo would be my support ball hander and that guy would get guard for mobile support and the player would simply fill out whatever role he was needed in.

Yeah Guard is nice for him.

So guard seems to be the way to go. Any other suggestions?

Yeah Guard or Tackle are always handy and he doesn't really need anything else apart from Doubles and moar Stats.

Guard and gobbo as back up ball carrier. Then hope for doubles for him I guess Very Happy
