FUMBBL :: Online Blood Bowl League

Buckminster Briar, stat freak and cornerstone of the Stiff Little Flingers finally got off 175spp with a hatrick after 6 barren matches.

This makes him ony the 4th 'fling ever to reach Legend status, and with 55 TD's in 47 matches he's the 2nd highest scoring active 'fling and 4th highest scoring of all time.

It also makes him my first ever Legend player. I feel oddly proud.

The question is....what the hell do I give him with a double 4 rolled on his final skill.

Here he is:

Here's the team:

95% of his TD are from TTM, and he generally hides behind trees waiting for a hand-off from a colleague.

I've put up a post in the forums for suggestions on what skill he could take, and will leave the decision until around 12 noon GMT tomorrow as I can't wait to play him again!

Decided on sprint, it's the skill he'll use the most.

Got to be Sprint. The "he has to use the doubles because he can always get a regular skill later" argument doesn't apply when he's not getting any more skills later. And Sprint makes him substantially better at what he does.

Sprint would be the obvious... fend or jump up are good aswell...
Or go for leap for the weird option... :d

Fend, Leap and Sprint are all good.

Pro might help him land a few times when you roll a 1.
Leader? Do you need rerolls? idk

Nerves of Steel... for those times the defense is nearby when he receives the ball.

What about Sure Hands?

If you plan to continue using him in the same way, Sprint or Catch seem to compliment his roll nicely. Leap seems wasted as there'll always be a gap and with Stunty and AG5... Pro also could be useful for failed landings, gfis or dodges when other reroll options are gone.

If you want to diversify, Sure Hands for recovery. Strip Ball for insane plays?

Probably will be sprint, but I'll leave the decision until later today.

Definitely don't need RR. That's what the chef is for :)

That Hafling kick'ed my ass, when he played vs my gobbo team :-)
the dd 4 roll on last skill, opens for options, both sprint and sure hands are good, fend is ok. I dont no what i will give him, i only hope he keep scoring TD an be the best halfling legend all-time. Go Stunty Teams and looking forward to a rematch ;-)

Leader would have been fluff.

In the end, it ended up being a moot question :-p

Retired!? Wtf!?!?

Posted by Rabe on 2013-01-27 23:42:46

Auto-retired due to a concession without being aware of the rules for players with 51+ SPP... A tragedy. :-(
