Vampire Skills

Hey Guys,

Well 2 games in to what I hope will be a long & illustrious league career,
3 Vamps have all gone up by one skill(although one of them rolled snake eys for aging & got -1AV).

I chose Pro for the two who got skills & Jump Up for the one that rolled
doubles --- but this was just yesterday & I can change the skills if I want.

I plan on getting 2 more Vamps after a few more games --- question is,
is Pro for the first skill always the way to go? & if they just roll skills for their first 3 SPP rolls, is Pro, Dodge & then Block a good choice?

Maybe some could go Pro, Block & then Dodge.

Other people have suggested Pass on doubles & Catch, Sure hands & stuff
like that for the skills --- I disagree --- with Ag4 & ST4 they make good allrounders, I like skills that work both sides of the ball, & I prefer skills that they will use all the time rather than twice or 3 times during a game.

what do you guys think?

Pro, Block and Dodge are all great skills for them. I find that Frenzy is good on doubles, since it tends to free up the sideline when you set up offence. With the limited mobility of the team, every little bit helps.

I like using Thralls to pick up the ball in the back field, so Sure Hands isn't a priority with me, but I could certainly see putting a vampire on the Catch route as a means to get some SPP's and have a Pass Blocking 4 AG player to help against throwing teams. Vamps do so well at hypnogazing the cage away that discouraging the throw is probably a really good idea.

Is your league going to change to the rules reviews rulings? if so, Pro's now a trait and H Gaze has been changed

Let us know how you will fare and if you will use the BBRC changes.

More defensive skills like Strip Ball are probably a good idea, with the change to Hypno Gaze you won't be able to crash cages as easily.

Such a kick in the pants to have 2 with Pro for one week only....

Our league is just choosing new skills for guys with Pro -- I took Block for both --- I kept Jump Up for the 3rd one as it will work OK with the new
Hyp. Gaze.

Not getting to stressed about this as I have just started the team --- but
Pro now being a trait was completley unexpected.....
