Hi all,
in the "ideas for nerfing dwarfs" thread, enough people have voted for the dwarf lineman, that I need to know what his statline should be.

So - keeping in mind that this is a house rule for leagues that want to nerf dwarfs, what should the lineman be like on this roster:
0-2 80K runners 6338 GP thick skull, sure hands
0-2 90K slayers 5328 GS thick skull, juggernaut, frenzy, dauntless
0-2 80K blitzers 5339 GS thick skull, block
0-2 70K blockers 4329 GS thick skull, block, tackle
0-16 Linemen ???
0-1 Deathroller as normal

Gentlemen, let's hear it :D

Hi Martin,

I voted, but my personal preference is as follows:

0-4 Dwarf Blockers 4 3 2 9 GS/AP Block, Tackle, Thick Skull
0-16 Dwarf Linemen 4 3 3 9 G/SAP Thick Skull 50k

I think the following is also attractive

0-4 Dwarf Blockers 4 3 2 9 GS/AP Block, Tackle, Thick Skull
0-16 Dwarf Linemen 5 3 2 9 G/SAP Thick Skull 50k

With 0-2 blockers, the team starts with poor movement and less block than a human team, it needs linemen with strength skill access... and I would prefer my dwarf linemen with no Strength access.

By the way... does your team have a deathroller?

Roller. Yup. Good catch.
