Talk Fantasy Football

I was lucky, and rolled double 4s on my halfling Rorimac, and I think I'll pick Hail Mary Pass. But as my halfling is Stunty, will he fumble the pass on roll 1-2, because a player with Stunty but must subtract 1
from the roll when they pass?
Please, help me!

Afraid so.

That said, a 3+ is significantly better odds than a normal short pass and opens up a whole new tactical option for the mighty flings.

For what it's worth I've a 'fling with +AG and Pass and wish I'd taken Accurate instead of Pass on the double (as TRRs are rarely in short supply).

actually, no, they would not take a penalty to a hail mary pass. A hail mary pass is only ever fumbled on a 1..even if you are stunty and in 8 tackle zones.

Although this is right for normal passing skills it is incorrect for HMP. HMP is a straight 2+ roll with no modifiers so is a good choice on stunty teams. A couple of diving catchers downfield and fingers crossed

Oops. I'll go and sit in the corner with the "D" cap.

That said, perhaps the FAQ should mention Stunty alongside tackle zones ans Disturbing Presence as I'd always interpreted a HMP as a Pass?

It's a 2-6 roll, like Bonehead. It's not "make a normal Pass AG skill roll as if the player's AG is 5" or anything else that results in a target of 2. It's simply a not-natural-1 roll. The skill description is explicit. In fact, it (admittedly implicitly) says that there is no roll to pass, merely a roll to not fumble:

Emphasis mine.
