Treeman stand up question

Post by plasmoid »

Hi all,
I recently noticed that in the Bloodbowl handbook (2002), there is a section under movement, describing that you need to roll 4+ if you try to get up and have MA2 or less.
There is no mention of getting help.

However, under treeman special rules, it is described that you can help getting up.

So - are treemen the only ones able to get help?
Or is it a cut & paste error and nobody is allowed to get this help?
or what?

Martin :)

Cut & Paste error, presumably. They took away the helpers, or so I've been told.

Classic case of rules tucked away in the fluff section. If you go by the premise that the LRB (no fluff section) is the only reference you need, no helpers. If you go by Jervis' comments about the rules being Handbook plus Annuals, then prepare to fight about it. I feel there shouldn't be ANY rules in the fluff section.
Perhaps this should be on the BBRC list. Not a clarification. We all know how they intended to remove helpers. Just re-edited to remove the rule in the fluff section. Or better yet, ALL rules from the fluff section.
