Beastmen Ball Handler

Post by swilhelm73 »

He's currently 6/3/3/7 Horns, Block, Sure Hands

Just rolled doubles.

He is on a Nurgle's Rotter team.

On offense he is my running back/ball handler on defense he plays safety.

So I'm thinking of the following more or less in order;

1) Dodge - reduces the chances of him being knocked over, increases teh chances of him dodging away.

2) Foul Appearance - 1/6 chance that he can't be blocked and he has a slightly higher then normal chance of being around the ball whether its being thrown or caught.

3) Stand Firm - risk free dodging and can play right byt he sideline more confidently.

So what do you think?

I'd be tempted to go for dodge, but stand firm appeals as well. How about side step?

I did consider SS, but SF seemed to be a slightly better choice between the two because of its risk free dodging...

What about big hand, especially if he´s your main ball handler?
It changes the probability of picking up from 1/9 to 1/36.
And failing every 9th time is, especially in risky situations, not too good.

And if your defense knocks the ball loose he´s the man picking it up in 3 tacklezones without a problem.

Although dodge, sidestep and stand firm are very good my choice would be (and was in my homeleague!) big hand.

Like Lofwyr just said. Big Hand. Next Doubles should actually be pass.

Big Hand.

Big hand and Sure Hands means you'll only fail 1 in 36 pick-ups. Don't get much better than that.
