AG+ on a -1MA Amazon ?

Post by Borg »

I just rolled (6;5) for an Amazon Linewoman's first skill.
An agility increase looks nice, if it weren't for the fact that she has only MA5.
Should I still give her the +AG or simply go for Block (or kick) ?
Why ?

Thanks.

I'd declare her line fodder, give her Block, and keep putting her on the line until she meets her maker.

Definitely take the +AG. She can be really good when you break the opponent's cage and need someone who can dodge, get the ball and throw it better than the rest of the girls. Very useful IMO. MA5 isn't that bad, after all.

I'd definately give her +AG. Amazons need the variety and AG4 dodgers are always handy. Use her to retrieve balls or as a passer. If she can roll doubles you'll have very mobile guard too. I'd give +AG to Orc Lineman without a doubt and they're MA5 too, so why not to an Amazon?

+ag on a team ball-handling team that actually lacks agility is always useful.

Just choose her other skills bearing in mind she won't be supermobile, like tackle.

However, keep in mind that she's nothing more than a back-up - don't try to build her as a competent ball-handler as 5 ag still won't allow you to go very far obviously...

Take the AG. You will be suprised how easily she will be able to break away and make big plays.

Good points on the AG+ side, so, that's what she got.

When going on offense I can now put her in the back to receive, opposite my Strong Arm Thrower.

Thanks fellows.
