Don't understand a particular rule or just need to clarify something? This is the forum for you. With 2 of the BBRC members and the main LRB5/6 writer present at TFF, you're bound to get as good an answer as possible.
I am a long time lurker, but I need a bit of clarification on something that came up in one of my games.
Can a player who is blitzing my Dark Elf Runner( who has Dump Off ) attempt to intercept the pass also? I was under the impression that he couldn't because he is already blitzing. It doesn't say in the CRP clearly how to go about resolving it.( plus I can be a bit of an idiot at times! )
Yes, the blitzing player can attempt the interception, but they cannot use Pass Block.
Reason:''
Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.

CRP pg 66 wrote:
Pass Block (General)
A player with this skill is allowed to move up to three squares when the
opposing coach announces that one of his players is going to pass the
ball (but not a bomb). The opposing coach may not change his mind
about passing once Pass Block's use is declared. The move is made out
of sequence, after the range has been measured, but before any
interception attempts have been made. A player may not make the move
unless able to reach a legal destination and may not follow a route that
would not allow them to reach a legal destination. A legal destination
puts the player in a position to attempt an interception, an empty square
that is the target of the pass, or with his tackle zone on the thrower or
catcher. The player may not stop moving until he has reached a legal
destination, has been held fast by Tentacles or has been Knocked Down.
The special move is free, and in no way affects the player"s ability to
move in a subsequent action. The move is made using all of the normal
rules and skills (for example, having to dodge in order to leave opposing
players" tackle zones.) Players with Pass Block may use this skill against
a Dump Off pass. If a player performing a Pass Block in their own turn is
Knocked Down then this is a turnover, no other players may perform
Pass Block moves, and your turn ends as soon as the results of the pass
and the block are resolved.
daloonieshaman - 0 for 2 on rules questions yesterday - will he do better today?

This is the correct answer, according to the FAQ in the rulebook (CRaP page 77):
QUOTE
Q: If you blitz or block an opponent with Dump-Off with a Player that has Pass Block can you use Pass Block to move after he declares his use of Dump-Off? ...
A: No, once a block is declared as part of a Block or Blitz Action, you must attempt to complete it before moving again. ...
UNQUOTE
I think this question has been answered before on this forum.

my bold
my bad I forgot the change that was added at the last minute
I don't think it was changed, I just think it was made clear that you could PB a DO.

no in 6 you could not use PB with DO (listed in the skill description) ... It was made possible in one of the last minute changes before the dark age descended upon us
plasmoid wrote:Pass block can be used against dump-off.
Pass block can not be used against dump-off by the player actually performing the blitz.
Just summarizing
Just for clarity, I assume a player throwing a block as either part of a Blitz Action OR a Block Action may not use Pass Block. Or am I mistaken?

It does sound like someone trying to cath a branch as they fall
Now I have to tell my buddy he was right on that one.
