Yes, Strong Arm is not a skill and does not modify the Dice Roll, it just influences what range you pass at.

Not if you roll 1, RR, 1, which happens quite often at an action that will lead to an TD :wink:

3+ long Bombs are way cool, and if you get the agility increase, which I have had on a High Elf thrower 2+ baby

If you roll that 3, though, he's going to fumble the ball so his roll is either going to be accurate or a fumble. Ironic, isn't it?

Accurate & Strong arm means he only ever fumbles on a '1', so a '2' would be inaccurate. Unless of course he's got +AG too.

A natural one is always a fumble, isnt it?

@Pitch dark: yes, a natural 1 is a fumble, regardless of any modifiers. Also, a 1 after the dice roll (due to modifications) is a fumble. some coaches mix modifiers and the target number for convenience, but that results in a wrong (lower) fumble range.

@to the rest:

An AG5 Elf with acurate and strong arm fumbles a long bomb only on 1

Target number: 2
Long bomb becomes long pass due to strong arm: pass modifier -1
Accurate: pass modifier +1

Success: 2+
Fumble: 1
Failure: not possible

If the Elf has AG4 (still with Strong Arm and Accurate)
Target number: 3
Long bomb gets long pass due to strong arm: pass modifier -1
Accurate: pass modifier +1

Success: 3+
Fumble: 1
Failure: 2

Don't forget that accurate changes the modifier, not the terget number, so it decreases the change for a fumble.
