Gutterrunner or Rat Ogre?

Kundschafter · Post by **Kundschafter** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 10:42 am

In our league it is possible to declare a player as starplayer when he has more than 50 SPP. I did it with a GR. Therefore I can hire a 5th GR for my team. I have one space left on my teamrooster. What should I do? One more GR or trying a Rat Ogre?

My GR's are the following:
Nameless 9/2/4/8 Dodge, leap, sure hands, catch, vll - 74 SPP
Gnadenloser 9/2/4/8 dodge, block, side step, dauntless - 37 SPP
Bratze 9/2/4/7 dodge, vll, sprint, sure feet, catch - 53 SPP
Seelenloser 9/2/4/7 dodge, block - 6 SPP

You should eventually not overlook (bad english?) that all my Linerats have Block, one of them Block, Claw, RSF (Strike!!!) and another with horns. Nobody has an strength increase until now. My opponents mostly are very skilled trainers, but there will be two new teams in our league. We´re playing to the actual rules.

Here are the teams, without the two new ones (Orks and Dwarfs): http://www.ddbbl.de/teams/teams.htm

What do you think?

(Sorry for my bad english)

I take it that

1) You are playing 3rd ed rather than LRB
2) You aren't normally allowed Big Guys

What version of the Rat Ogre will you be playing with?

Personally I'd probably take the RO anyway - BG lite environment his strength will make a big difference to the team.

Personally i would go with the RO, but be aware that it will be hard to train him as he will be a primary target for your opponents, and at first he'll hardly make it till half time untill he gets some skills.

We started playing 3rd ed (League is 2 years old and so are the teams - one season = 1 year) and now play LRB +house rules. If I play a RO I have to play it by using the newest rules, with rolling a 4+ when standing up.

A 5th GR doesn't add as many options to the team as a Rat Ogre does.

Tips - don't let him get knocked down (pretty hard for most teams to do) & try to feed him people to block. On doubles take one of Stand Firm, Tentacles or Dodge. Really he's there to stop you getting pounded on the LOS.

With the new rules for the Ratogre, he's a definite must for your team.

What I heard was, that he is allways laying on the floor and would not be able to stand up...

That´s not, what I´ve expected from a guy, that costs me 130k.

Like gken1 stated the rat oger will suck up much damage that would cause your little one to faint. He is a good choice for your team to hold the LOS.
