I just rolled a double for my BOB (10) and I dont want to increase his MA.
Do you have any advice what skill or trait I should take for him?
I always use him at the LOS.

The rest of my team:
4 Linemen (no skills)
1 Linemen (+1AG)
2 BOB (no skills, except for this new skill or trait I will pick)
4 Blitzers (block as usual, one with leader)
1 Th (+accurate)
1 Troll
1 Goblin (+block, sidestep and AG 4)

... for conservative Orc play... Stand Firm.

In a Cage-play he´ll be good and for defense he can effectively shut down any widezone. Defensively he´ll also put pressuere on the opponent - that dodge with no risk of failure should be used to put him in multiple TZ´s to tie down opposing players...

For something very alternative...

Try Diving tackle... Everyone is gonna dodge away from him, and that -2 to dodge is gonna burn RR´s and most certainly cause a turn-over... Very sneaky but hey.... Orcs are sneaky scumbags... :D

I would have chosen Break tackle.

Stand Firm is the obvious and I think the best choice.

I really like Frenzy on BOBs as a 1st double. The extra chance to knock people over ought to increase the number of casualties he gets - and its great for punching holes in the line and sideline drives.

If not then Stand Firm (but it doesn't help get SPPs and realistically its going to take ages to get Block & Guard too).

Frenzy or Dodge.

The former increases the damage he can do, the latter keeps him alive longer. If you play alot of dwarves the latter is less of an issue of course.

For once I agree with Sean.

Completely agree with Ian here.

I also love Frenzy on BoBs. Either SF or Frenzy won't dissapoint you in the long run.
