Piling On: Force the call before armour?? Not in the review!

Just read the rules review.

The Piling On question has not been answered.

Anyone care to help?

No change made I take it. By the current rules you choose to pile on after the armour roll has been made.

Same with diving tackle.

Agreed no changes were made. It is still declared after for another year.

Well how would that be applied in the pbem tool?? How can you add it aftere the roll is made?

There is a setting on the LRB tab to use 3rd edition or LRB Piling On. LRB Piling On, if you check Piling On in the AV window. It then checks to see if you needed to use the skill or not to break AV. It tells you whether it was used or not ... that's all already pre-programmed.

So if the AV you needed to beat is 8 and your ST is 3,you roll 6,1 it would add the piling on as it would get thru the AV?? but it wouldnt add it if you rolled say 1,3 on your dice?? I just want to be sure of that.

All I know for sure is that it will not knock you prone if use of the skill is not neccessary. It tells you if that's the case in the feedback window.

Too bad they didn't change it back. But in my league, we've always played that you call it before rolling, and we're not about to change. It makes 1000% more sense both realistically and in terms of game balance. Same for diving tackle and same also for rolling for the pass before rolling for interception.

All eminently sensible suggestions, but a lot like bashing your head against a brick wall. Unfortunately however, it doesn't even feel good when you stop!

I agree with Zombie on this one, we also play it that way in our league. Additional to that, we announce the dirty player +2 bonus before the armour roll is made or save it for the injury roll (if armour roll succeeded).
