A little confused

Post by Sam Witty »

I have little problem, in the living rulebook it says that a leader re-roll is treated as a regular re-roll. But it seems that most people here believe that you can use it on a big guy. Can someone please clear this up for me. (I have a troll and gave one of my players leader.)

Yes, a leader re-roll can be used as a normal reroll, or a big guy reroll. In fact, Big Guys cannot use normal rerolls, only leader and trophy rerolls (apart from the PRO skill)

But note that leader rerolls can only be used when the played with the skill is on the field, not on the bench or injured.

Yep.. that's the way it is. I guess it's got something to do with the fact that Big Guys really don't pay attention in training, but if someone is yelling at them here and now (that would be the leader!) they sort of try to listen! (all fluff though, in hard rules it's been cleared up already..)

though this rule (and i hope it does) might get removed in the rules review, i don't think big guys should be able to use any rerolls other than pro

yeah big guys can use leader rerolls, as they are not the same but treated as team reroll.
And i hope they dont remove it as i think its logical that a big guy listens to a leader even if all the training does not help them.

sure it makes sense, but does it fit in w/ how big guys are supposed to behave on the pitch? they're not supposed to be the best player on your team, they're supposed to suck about as much as a (albiet much more expensive) halfling. i also dont agree w/ the ogre team being able to use team rerolls on their ogres.

I think the ogre teams should be able to use team rerolls but it should be reflected in the price of the rerolls. I wouldn't mind seeing the Big guys on other teams only able to use pro to reroll things though, another way to make them a little more negative.

I think it makes sense to use leader for big guys. A full ogre team should not get rerolls, or perhaps have a cap on number of team rerolls 4? 1 per half?
