Ball carrier fails a Really Stupid roll
Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 4:53 pm
In our current PBeM game, Mad Jackal hands off to his Wardancer who has RS because of a special play card. The player catches the ball, but then fails his RS roll. Does he drop the ball? Is this a turnover? The skill description doesn't seem to say so...

Our reading of the description above would suggest that he neither drops the ball nor is it a turnover ... but that just seems wrong. :?Really Stupid (Extraordinary)
This player is without doubt one of the dimmest creatures to ever take to a Blood Bowl pitch (which considering the IQ of most other players, is really saying something!). Because of this you must roll a D6 immediately after declaring an Action for the player, but before taking the Action. If there are one or more players from the same team standing adjacent to the Really Stupid player’s square, and who aren’t Really Stupid, then add 2 to the D6 roll. On a result of 1-3 they stand around trying to remember what it is they’re meant to be doing. The player can’t do anything for the turn, and the player’s team loses the declared Action for that turn (for example if a Really Stupid player declares a Blitz Action and fails the Really Stupid roll, then the team cannot declare another Blitz Action that turn). The player loses his tackle zones and may not catch, intercept or pass the ball, assist another player on a block or foul, or voluntarily move until he manages to roll a successful result for a Really Stupid roll at the start of a future Action or the drive ends.

So obviously not a turnover either.
