Norse Blitzer

I rolled a regular skill with a Norse Blitzer on a Chaos Pact Team;

Ronald Reagan Norse Blitzer 6 3 3 7 Block, Jump Up, Frenzy, Mighty Blow

I tend to use him as a blitzer of convience on offense looking for juicy targets, especially near the sidelines, and on defense I used him as a safety along with my blockle beastman.

I'm trying to decide between PO, tackle, or guard;

PO would get me more CAS, and a norse blitzer is about the best player to give it to with the JU, and it now works with MB. However, PO is fairly weak as a skill now. While getting a MB PO hit on a breaking away catcher is a nice thought, falling over and not breaking armor could hurt alot.

Tackle is a great skill for a safety of course. OTOH, my lineman only have general skills, so they are always going to have a fair amount of tackle among them. Further, Frenzy does slightly reduce the need for tackle.

Guard is a great skill overall, you can never have too much of it. Further, the lineman can't get it except on doubles. OTOH, this guy isn't generally going to be spending a bunch of time around the other team's bruisers if I can help it.

PO, nice combo with MB

Oh, and if it helps/matters at all the division this team plays in allows Ogre and Vamp teams and has a few old Chaos Pact, Old World, and Lustrian teams in addition to the official teams.

It also uses Galak's negative winnings/freebooted apoth rules.

think I'd go with PO for the reasons you mention in the original post. It's really in the spirit of a norse blitzer.

PO would be my bet!

hmm hard question po is good, but guard also nice

I voted for PO cause the Norse Blitzer have jump up. For there you can risk to re roll the armor roll. Next turn your blitzer will make a normal block and it's not needed to waste the blitz action for this guy.
