3rd Skill for DE Runner

Leap becuse he can be hard to stop. MA7 + leap can run long.

Next Block (or Wrestle) and Dodge.

Use him to be more than a simple runner. Hope for +AV and you have a 5th blitzer!

im actually liking the idea of dumping off them wrestling someone to the ground.. Im probably going to go with Leap just because the Ag 5 begs it a little.

On a side note my on pitch team has 3 linemen.. all with block, 1 with dodge, and two skillless linos on the bench. One of the Block Linemen got a 4,6 for skill roll. I wouldnt take the MA but Im weighing the AV against dodge. What do you think?

+AV makes him as tough as a orc, dwarf, chaos warrior....

Really good to keep them alive and on pitch. I have a de blitzer with AV9 and he takes alot of beating, but with skills Block, Dodge, Side Step, Fend & Shadowing he is hard to take down.

I use him to mark important opponents.

Depends on the league, if you don't face a lot of MB/Piling on, or do face a lot of claw, then skip AV. Else take it and cherish it, 6349 Block, Fend, Dodge is the bane of any elfkilling orc/dwarf/norse/chaosdwarf.

I only yesterday played a 11-0 casualties (2 from fouls, one with claws even CASd the tree) game facing AV7 wood elves sporting 0 fends

Pass Block, on AG5 is a dream....3+ interceptions.....followed by eithe run/dump off or run pass......

makes him a ball hawk on defense...

@Matt,

you're right re: safe throw, bt i still feel this runner is good enough for most dark elf sidesn as a passer and dodge or leap would simply benefit the side more.
