The only disadvantage big guys have now are the nega traits. They're treated as regular players in all other ways, mostly to keep confusion and special rules to a minimum.

yeah, here's the tradeoff in a nutshell between last version's rookie big guys and this versions.
Good:
*They get skills at normal rate (of course, everybody's rates changed in LRB such that the 2nd skill isn't until 16spp)
*If they were allies, you don't lose fan factor anymore.
Bad:
*They can't use team rerolls (Tho they can use leader rerolls)
*They can't "buy off" neg traits with a doubles roll...you're stuck with them forever.
*They can't use doubles rolls for extra ST or AV like they were able to before.
Overall I think it's a sensible change. Having a whole list of extra special rules for big guy skill advancement is silly. This way is a whole lot simpler, while still pretty well balanced. Plus, now, if you see an ogre, and it's NOT morg, you KNOW he has bonehead.

Hur. Yeah, I forgot about the not using team rerolls. They can use leader, pro or trophy though.
