some skill questions (PBBL) (Leap, Frenzy, Safe Throw, TTM)

Post by Bonehead »

1. Right Stuff and Throw Team-mate
Does the TTM use the team’s Pass Action or can you throw as many stunties as you want each turn? Also is it the same difficulty for a thrown player to land if the pass was accurate or inaccurate even if both results count as inaccurate?

2. Safe Throw
The skill description states that this skill is used after the ball was intercepted. Does the player who intercepted the ball still gain star player points?
(I assume the agility roll is not modified by enemy tackle zones, right?)

3. Leap
Does leap always cost two squares of movement, even if your player leaps only one square?

4. Frenzy
Does Frenzy force your player to go for it for a second block when used with a blitz?

Reading my sig was by about three seconds of total waste of time.

Yes, assuming you have not taken all your GFIs already.

TTM is the players Pass Action, and seeing as you can only have one Pass Action per turn...
2. Safe Throw
The skill description states that this skill is used after the ball was intercepted. Does the player who intercepted the ball still gain star player points?
Nope, no SPP's, as a sucessful Safe Throw means the pass was never intercepted.
(I assume the agility roll is not modified by enemy tackle zones, right?)
Well, seeing as the skill states "an unmodified Agility roll", I'd say that was a given.
3. Leap
Does leap always cost two squares of movement, even if your player leaps only one square?
"Making a leap costs the player two squares of movement." Doesn't say anything about only costing one if you only leap one square. A leap costs 2 squares, regardless of where you leap to.
4. Frenzy
Does Frenzy force your player to go for it for a second block when used with a blitz?
As Nazgit said.

Thanks.

I'm still not sure if it is a turnover when a player without the ball is thrown and lands on a player of his own team. When is this a turnover?
Never
or when the target was not prone, thus knocked down by the thrown player
or when the target was holding the ball
or always, even if the target was prone/stunned?

Sorry, can't help you on those ones, as I haven't read the PBBL TTM rules that closely, as I don't use them.

Is a TTM a TO when fumbled?

Yes, if the thrown player was holding the ball (this is cleared out in right stuff skill description p28 and in turnover section p9).

A TTM is a turnover when:
The Right Stuff player fail to land while holding the ball (including fumbles)
The Rigth Stuff player hits a player from his own team (with or without the ball)

In all other cases it is NOT a turnover.
