Snow Troll as mercenary

Post by Banelord »

Unlimited Mercenaries: For every player safely employed by a
team there are dozens of freelance players who play just one
game with a team and then move on. These are the stars who
didn't quite make it and the cast offs from teams that went
bankrupt. A Mercenary costs 30,000 more than an ordinary
player of his position. For example, a Mercenary Human lineman
would cost 80,000 gold pieces to hire for a match. The normal
limits on the total number of players allowed in a team and in
each position do apply to Mercenaries (so they aren't truly
unlimited). However, players that are missing the game due to
injury do not count towards the number of players on the team,
so you can use Mercenaries to replace players that are missing
a game if you wish. All Mercenaries have the Loner skill as they
are unused to playing with the rest of the team. In addition you
may choose to give a Mercenary one additional skill selected
from those available to a player of that position on a Normal roll,
at an additional cost of 50,000 gold pieces. For example, a
Mercenary Human lineman could be given Tackle if desired for a
total cost of 130,000 gold pieces to hire for a match.
The snow troll has the loner skill by his own. What happens now, a "inverse" reroll (double the loner roll) or what?

Hah!, now the Review change of "you can not have a skill twice" makes sense...!

Short answer, he is not double Loner(ed)....

So a merc (Mighty Blow) Snow Troll is just as good as a regular one skill one! (This is true of nearly all big guys).
