Talk Fantasy Football

I always read the description of frenzy to mean that you have to follow up if you push back your opponent, regardless of whether they also fall over, and regardless of whether it is on the first or second block.

However, recently in a table top league, other players have had other interpretations such as:
1)if you knock them over, it doesn't count as them being pushed back.
2) if you knock them over on the first block, you don't follow up, since you don't even use the frenzy skill.

I think they are wrong, but I was wondering what everyone else thinks.

Frenzy players follow up everytime. No matter what!

yes its always on you always have to follow up

give him a slap from me please!

You had got it right, frenzy players always follow up no matter if he ogt knocked down or not.

Using the Frenzy skill is not optional, so it's follow up every time.

well I didn't mind so much that he wasn't following up, since it was with a minotaur with piling on, and he had a stiletto from a handicap roll...

so you may be able to tell that from his interpretation of the rules, and the fact that he only piled on once the whole game that this guy wasn't a great player.... in fact I was a little disappointed to win by only 2-0.

Hehe

So you have to follow.

LRB pp35 Frenzy skill description "A player with Frenzy must always follow an opponent up if they push them back."

It does not say, if you choose to use frenzy, it says you must.

Hope that helps convince your coaches.

Thanks ian,

that's the way I always read it too, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going mad.

Nope you wasn´t going mad but your friends was (is?)

I wouldn't say he wasn't going mad... he's calling himself a gold penguin, that's gotta be a sure sign of madness. (Or I could be drunk, seeing golden penguins...)

You're defenitly right! They always follow up!

Sorry to bring this topic back ... but shouldn't this be re-worded somehow?
