Leap can be: viewtopic.php?t=20642

And it's being put forward to the BBRC in OCtober that you can't Pass Block a Dump Off: viewtopic.php?t=24266

Amazing what can be found with a couple of minutes and the Search function.

Why should we use the Search function when we have you? :wink:

So the correct answer is that

a) you can always leap during a pass block. AND

b) you can Pass Block a Dump-Off, but it breaks the game of Blood Bowl and both coaches have to go home and are suspended from league/tournament play for at least a month OR

c) the commisioner makes a common sense ruling (not encouraged.)

This October, the BBRC will revoke the one month ban, and therefore be forced to disallow Pass Blocking of Dump-Offs.

I don't know that the search function would have worked... I am more confused now than before you showed me the "right answer!"

Me, too, and I've got a Dark Elf runner. Dump Off just gives me a head ache.

So, we got that you can leap during a pass block, but if you do so then can you then leap during the next turn?

Everyone loves a good necro as evidence that you actually used the search function :P

Yes, since it's a new Action. You can Leap once per Action, it has nothing to do with turns.

And the rules lawyer in me still disagrees with Galak, or else the wording of Leap should explicitly include Pass Block (since moving in a Pass Block is not an Action). But the fair-play player in me agrees with him :)
