Evening all,

So my ROgre Boneripper finally reached Legend status. To make things complicated he rolled a double 3:

He's currently a Block, Claw, Tackle, Guard, BT ROgre but I'm after help with the last skill as there are too many choices:

1, Horns - For Blitzing fun!
2, Dodge - Synergy with BT and protection
3, Pro - Less roaring and doing nothing
4, Sidestep - More for fun but would make him tying up the edge of a cage more effective and some protection along the sidelines
5, Stand Firm, would've been my normal skill choice and still a sensible if boring one

Any help or advice gladly appreciated, thank you!

at that TV you're so much likely to find dedicated blitzer with Tackle. go with Pro and put that +30k TV to good use.

Depends if you're gonna keep him into season 2, if so then you won't need Pro as you can get reliability with sacrificial bodies, but then you may be lacking bodies for assists so horns may be more important to get 3d.

EDIT: Pretty sure if you kept him he'd be the only piece you could afford to keep though Crying or Very sad

Pro is great in 2020, not so much for the Wild Animal roll, but for the ability to re-roll a single dice in the block. If you get a Skull and a pushback, you can re-roll the skull 'for free' and fish for a pow, if it fails you get the pushback and a second frenzy hit.

Pro is a seriously bashy skill.

Tough choice between Dodge and Pro. S5 Blodge is rather good. BT is downgraded in new rules but still helpful.

Horns combo so well with a frenzy blitz but head is just saying pro.

Horns would be my go to skill, but honestly you might want tentacles to make the use of him as a dangerous piece, once they get near him you want them to stay for the hugs right?

I voted Dodge, core skill so he won't get hit as much, stands and uses his Guard assist more, plus it goes beautifully with Break Tackle to make him a really mobile Frenzy threat. Or if you're really under the cosh (and you will be at times with skaven!), to get him out of trouble reliably. Pro is also worthwhile, Horns and Tentacles ok but Dodge all day for me!

(Btw. I assume you will be blitzing with this guy. If you are not, then the case for Pro increases... but he's such a good hitter I assume he will be blitzing just about every turn?)

Thank you for all the responses so far. They're greatly appreciated.

@DrDeath - yes he has been my go to Blitzer until now. However my Stormvermin have been quietly accruing the necessary skills to replace him. I've got one with a MB, Claw, Tackle and my other Stormvermin got +St last game too. That gives me a killer/Can opener and one who can create gaps for the Gutters to run through.

Now Boneripper has reached Legend I may end up using him less in order to mitigate the WA roll (inadvertently making the case for Pro too...).

@XpherAndTheAxes - Great shout with Tents but without SF I don't think it's as effective as it could be.

@stej - Without DP a leaping big guy is no fun! Very Happy

@pielover101 - If he's still alive by Season 2 I'll retire him. He'll have earned it plus the TV trimming will be horrific and he's the most obvious candidate.

Pro just does so much. Dodge won't let you reroll those Wild Animal rolls, just saying.
