TAKE IT. Great with hypnogaze even in a TZ.

While it seems like a sexy choice...it won't be worth the extra TV. Get him block and you won't have to worry about him being pasted quite so much.

Aye, get Block. Then if he gets a 4th skill, get Leap. He'll be a God of a player then.

Get him block and doge in whatever order you prefer. After that... I wouldnt take leap, there are too many other options for vampires to bother with leap. I'd ignore the aguility 6 option because it dosent really help you much more than agility 5, it could be nice though.

It means you can blitz into 2 or even 3 TZs... but that's not as good as Leap. It also helps you throw bombs, which isn't very valuable, or pick up the ball in 2 or 3 TZs, which is ok but not great. I agree, take Leap.

You are boring! Take AG6. It probably isn't the most cost effective thing to do but its much more fun :)

But Vampires can hypnogaze their way into cages. Why on earth would this guy need leap. This guy's a super gazer with AG5. AG6 helps only marginally there. Why not take dodge to add to his mobility. I'd consider his AG5 to mean that this guy does a lot of gazing on defence, opening up blitzing routes for other vampires (who can have Block).

Passblock.. I was worried it was an action that would lead to further BL losses, but that is not the case so AG5 Passblock - 4+ catches...

It also helps you throw bombs
actually not. AG 6 bombs are fumbled on 1-3 and accurate on 4-6 same as AG 5 bombs.


I would take dodge. You have gaze to eliminate tacklezones, and with AG 5 and dodge one TZ is piece of cake...

But then again I might take the AG for the fun of it... :D

Best answer here.

AG 5 and dodge will be MUCH better than AG 6.

AG 5 dodge is, by default, your first vamp to activate most turns....with a near guaranteed hole opened up.

..It's very difficult to build a cage that can survive when any 1 member could lose his tackle zone.

Enjoy, and don't let him get fouled!!

I agree with Ian - AG6 is the fun option and has to be the way to go!

Pick up the ball in 2 TZs on a 2+, dodge into 3 TZs on a 3+, ignore weather and Disturbing Presence, etc., etc., etc.

Way to go!!!

But vamps have other ways to get around tacklezones. You know....hypnogaze, which is the reason vamps are good.
