Hi!

My friends and me are playing a short league of BB, we are in our 10 game, with 6 more to come. After that we play for a trophy with a KO system. The league consists mostly of bashy teams.
I got lucky and have a strength 4 Lino who will hopefully get his next skill after next game. I wonder if it should be LEAP (for the cages), or BLOCK for everyday use. Any opinions?

Thanks and good luck with your teams, winst

Because of STR+ I would use him as a blocker. You could easily get two block-dice against most opppnents without caring about guarding teammates.

For this purpose block is a good choise in my opinion. I took it as first skill for all my Blackorc Blockers and I'm really satisfied.

On doubles I would take frenzy or guard.

I think it's safe to say that pretty much anyone who jumps in is going to be saying, "Block!" It's as close to a no-brainer as you can get, IMO.

On doubles I'd go with Guard. Guard + AG4 = nightmare for your opponents. On another team I might be tempted by frenzy, but DEs already have witch elves, so you shouldn't have to worry about keeping the sidelines clear. Some folks will say Mighty Blow (or even Jump Up) on doubles, undoubtedly, but I think the team as a whole benefits more from Guard.

On another stat increase, I'd take it in an instant. Some people might argue against a +MA or +AG but I sure wouldn't pass it up.

As has been said, Block or Frenzy on doubles. As for future stat increases i would ignore mv but still take ag, wonderful cage breaker.

thx guys

thanks for the help folks!

Good points you made.
So block it will be :D , that will leave me worrying about those Black Orc cages, but at least it will help the guy survive without a big "foul me dirty" hat on (that is the hope at least).

A GFI with a re-roll for the winning TD will always fail.

If you need to hit the ball carrier to score the winning TD, he ball will pop loose and always fall to the Blitzer, who will catch it on a 6, and will be one square out of range of the EZ.
