Bonehead and team re-rolls

Post by King-Nerd »

Is it worth using a team re-roll via loner skill to change a failed bonehead roll?

I have tried to figure out the maths and got "Use a re-roll via loner will save you about 41.7% of the time", that does not seem like a good use of an expensive team re-roll.

As with most things in good ol' Blood Bowl, it's a relatively simple question with complicated answers....

Is it the last action in your turn and do you currently have as many rerolls as turns left? In that case the reroll is wasted if not used.... Can you absolutely not afford loss of all the bonehead loner's tackle zones; and must the bonehead loner take an action for the turn to be successful? Can you cover the loss of the bonehead loner tackle zones with other players?

As you've suggested, above, the loner will only successfully reroll 50% of the time....

The percents suggest NO... the situation may suggest otherwise....

That's why you give them Pro on double rolls. :)

I wasted 2 RR a few weeks ago on my Snow Troll. Won't make THAT mistake again.
