TTM clarification

Bob-the-Fish · Post by **Bob-the-Fish** » Thu Jun 19, 2003 10:23 am

I just started a goblin team and I have few questions about TTM.

1. Does it use the team's Pass Action for that turn?

2. If the Big Guy throws an inaccurate pass, i.e. not a fumble but not complete, the goblin can still land successfully right? He just doesn't get +1 to the roll.

1) Yes it does.

2) Yes, in fact i think he gets -1.

Asmodan · Post by **Asmodan** » Thu Jun 19, 2003 12:42 pm

1) yes it does

2) yes he can, but he dont get any modifiers at all. What sean said about -1 is wrong.
Its -1 for each tackle zone he lands in but not -1 for landing after an inaccurate pass.

Asmodan's right.

Thank god that TTM doesn't have to be accurate

to succeed. It helps but isn't a must.

Good luck with your TTM

beware of thrown players ending up so far from the end zone that they can't reach it... lotsa fun for yer opponent

it used to be -1 for landing an inaccurate throw cause when the rules were made there weren't rookie big guys so you had ag2 ripper bolgrot throwing goblins a lot.

when the rookie trolls came out and were ag1 the -1 for landing was removed but i think its still printed on the quick reference cards but they should just get a straight ag roll

Yup your right Grumbledook it's still printed on the reference card!!

Are we talking 3rd Edition? Because if so, I don't believe 'Ripper Bolgrot has ever been AG2??? Morg is +1 AG compared to a rookie Ogre, but not Bolgrot, I think..

If 2nd edition then I don't know since I didn't start playing until 3rd edition.. But wasn't 'Ripper' Bolgrot an Orc with a chainsaw or something in 2nd Ed??? Damn, I need some sleep...

the chainsaw bloke had a similar name but checking yes it appears i was wrong and ripper bolgrot is indeed ag1

Does a accurate throwTeamMate/successful landing give the Thrower a completion SPP. (it would be treeman in this case)

in short: no

We have house ruled that if the throw was accurate and the landing successful then the bigguy gets a completion, we don't see why not.

yet another discussion on ttms and spps...

although it uses the pass action for the turn, you're not throwing a pass and therefore are unable to receive a completion. it doesnt matter if he lands on his feet, it doesnt matter if he's holding the ball. in order for a completion to occur, you must throw an accurate pass that is caught by the intended receiver. as there is no receiver in this case you cannot obtain a completion. if you dont like it, house rule it.

i like that house rule for counting it as a completion. but my question is since we are sorta on the subject, does the troll have to make a pick up the ball roll to see if he picks up the goblin. or any TTM player for that matter.
