Weird skill rolls
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:56 pm
Just finished a game with my amazon team on fumbbl and had three players all break the 6spp mark... a thrower and 2 catchers.
The thrower rolls for skill, gets a 6-4. I struggled with the decision, but eventually decided to take the +MA even though i really wanted to get some passing skills on him. If he lives long enough though, 7MA will be very nice on him.
Then I roll for my first catcher... rolls a normal skill but snake eyes on ageing, with a 6-4 coming up on the ageing roll. -1MA. Helllooooo, karma
Took block to help his longevity anyway, since I'd rather not replace him immediately and depending on how his second skill roll goes, I'll decide then whether to retire him at that point or not. 5MA is going to hurt though 
Then my second catcher... another 6-4 on skill! Took this one without a thought, 7MA catcher on an amazon team will be very nice.
I just thought it was odd that fumbbl was all about the +MA/-MA/+MA. sometimes I guess that's how the rolls go... I wish I could roll that many 10's when trying to break armor or roll injury though, only 3 cas inflicted in 7 games so far with this team, doh!
