I saw in some thread that big guy can use a leader reroll. Do the big guy have to be the guy with the leader trait to use it or he can use the leader reroll even if he is not the player with leader

The Big Guy can use the Leader Re-roll just like everyone else could, even if he himself is not the Leader.

Thank you for your quick response.

just a question... the leader reroll " carrier " has to be on the gamefield to use the leaderreroll on a BigGuy, right ?

Right

Totally right. It does not matter if he is standing or not, as long as he is on the pitch and not in the dug out!

The LRB states Standing or Prone. I read that as supposed to exclude Stunned.

Yeah, but it also says when he is on the field. this implies that if a player is stunned he would not be on the field. This needs textual clarification. Hot list 2004?

Why does it imply that?

The counter is used in exactly the same way as a Team Re-roll
counter, but it may only be used if a player with the Leader skill is on the playing field (standing or prone) at the time the counter is used.

Its just an AND he is on the field AND (Standing or Prone).

It's like he is on the field AND NOT Stunned.

Nowhere is standing that a stunned player isn't on the field.

Quick Note:
If you are stunned, then are you not prone on the field, just face down?

never expected such a discussion about words and meanings after my question!

1. prone is used as a technical term in blood bowl to denote "down but not stunned."

2. if being stunned on the field also counted, there would be no reason to put "standing or prone" in the description of the skill, since any time the player was on the field at all he would count.

3. it doesn't matter all that much, really, because there are very few ways to end up with a stunned player on your turn and not turn over. I can think of three (wizards, ttm, ofab).

Would matter quite a bit depending on what Wild Animal rule you are using. If they go first, its before turning over a stunned leader.

"may only be used if a player with the Leader skill is on the playing field" i really think this is the key part of the phrase. i think they only added the "standing or prone" part to say that the player didn't have to be JUST standing. but that's just my opinion.

If a BG cannot use a regular team reroll but is allowed to use a leader reroll, does that mean you can pick and choose whether or not you would like to use the leader reroll in every situation, in an effort to "save it" for the BG?
