New style of team

Post by duff »

It occured to me that there isn't a team with highly specialised position players and very limited linemen. This is a style which would be different and add some more variety.

My thought is that in a legue, they would struggle at the start as specialists would try to cover general duties, in the middle they would do fairly well as some specialists would have learned the skills to expand their role and in the long term they would "peak" as specialised players only have limited room to grow.

Some player types
Blocker (lineman equivalent) 4/3/2/8 Block, stand firm GS
Runner (for moveing ball in running plays) 7/3/3/7 sure hands, dump off G
Thrower 6/2/4/7 Sure hands, pass and accurate
Intercepter (Leap to help get to the right spot) 4/2/4/8 Passblock, catch, leap.

I can't think of a culture that would produce such a team but see my "Nuffling" post.

Holy crap no!

Far too overpowered, I mean, sure hands, pass AND accurate on an AG4 starting player?

An overpowered list.

I appreciate what you are trying to do, and I think the team that comes closest is the Undead.

Khemri?

Necromantics?

Chaos Dwarfs?

Even humans are an example of this 'style' of team, but balanced! They have 'highly specialised' position players, in that you could make a catcher out of a lineman, even with SPP rolls..

I was kind of hoping some of you folk might have some idias of a culture/race/species that might produce such a team.
Any idias?
