Pass Block query

Post by Rab »

Is a player allowed to use Pass Block to move from an existing interception position into a more favourable one?

In the pbem game I'm playing, he's got a gutter runner with Pass Block next to the chap I want to Pass with. That position allows him to try and intercept. Is he allowed to move him to try for the intercept when he is in no tackle zones? Obviously I would then have an easier pass, and he an easier interception....

I've read the skill description and it uses words like 'may' rather than 'must' which seems a bit woolly....

The gutterrunner may indeed do so.

Or you can move your intercepting player in front of the thrower if he's only 3 squares away.
So then you give him a -1 modifier for the throw. :wink:

And with NoS you don't have to think about the tackling zones :P
