More Big Guy thoughts

It occurs to me that the endless attempts to balance the big guys might be futile, if only because logically, there really is no reason those guys -shouldn't- rule the field (as opposed, of course, to game balance requiring that they don't). But I figure I'll foolishly add my two groats. I thought of a couple of corollaries to the Big Guy trait that might be worth considering. Or not.

1. Stunty is a Relative Term: Any non-big guy player that dodges into the tackle zone of a big guy may ignore the -1 modifiers for dodging into the tackle zones of big guys.

2. Goliath Never Gets any Sympathy: When rolling to see if the referee spots a foul committed against a big guy, subtract two from the dice (making it only possible to be sent off if IGMEOY is in effect).

Those two aren't too bad.

agreed but in the fluff those few Big Guys that made it are the exeptionally bright (still muddy but that's besides this) ones. The rest is just too plain stupid, and thus a bad BB player

Well . . . A roll of 1 should always fail. So it should just be that there is no IGMEOY against big guys.

Those two aren't bad, are they?

Hmmn? Hey! Somebody write this down!

The spotting foul roll works on a 6, not a 1. And as it stands, there is no mention of "automatic" failure, though that might be due to a lack of negative modifiers.

Thanks, I thought I just did...

Maybe the second thing should say: "A player fouling a BG is caught only when the ref roll is a '6', independent of the IGMEOY counter."

I'm not wild about the first one, but the second seems fun, with Mestari's wording.

yep, better

Well, it's another idea. I kinda liked my idea for allowing one "freebie" cheapshot on the big guys, though.
