Multiple Block and Tackle

Post by JPS »

I could not find this elsewhere.

A player with Multiple Block and Tackle blocks two opposing players, each with the Dodge skill. Can Tackle be used to negate both defeneders' Dodge skills (on Stumble results) or only one?

I have always believed that Tackle simply negates Dodge, always. However, since you can opt to NOT use Tackle, USING Tackle must also be a choice. And since you may only use a skill once per player action, using Tackle on a Defender Stumble's result against the first defender would mean that you could not use Tackle against the second defender should you roll Defender Stumbles on the second block.

Is this correct? Was this the intent?

Thanks

Read the whole "Skill" section:
LRB6.0 wrote:SKILLS
This section of the rules includes lots more skills for players to use. The
specific rules for each skill can be found on pages 43 to 48. Each
entry also lists which category the skill belongs to (i.e. Passing, General,
Mutation, etc). A skill’s category effects which players can access it, as
described later on in the rules for Blood Bowl leagues (see pages 26 and
27). Unless otherwise stated in the skill description, the following
rules apply to all skills:
1. All bonuses/modifiers from skills can be combined.
2. All skills may be used an unlimited number of times per Action.
3. Some skills refer to pushing a player back in order to work. These
skills will work as long as you roll a result of ‘Pushed’, ‘Defender
Stumbles’, or ‘Defender Down’ on the Block dice.
4. Skill use is not mandatory.
5. You can choose to use a skill that affects a dice roll after rolling the
dice (e.g. Diving Tackle does not need to be used until after seeing
the result of the Dodge roll).
6. Only Extraordinary skills work when a player is Prone or Stunned.
7. A skill may only be taken once per player.
I could be wrong (never the first time, mind you :wink: ), but it seems they both may not use their Dodge skills....

Digger is correct. You may use Tackle against both Dodge players.
