Cheerleaders on the Pitch - NEED PLAYTESTERS

[Styrofoam King]

I was hoping people might be able to play-test this for me (I won't have a BB group together until a month or two.) Any takers? Feedback?

CHEERLEADERS ON THE PITCH
After a routine Cheerleader strike turned into on the bloodest games of Blood Bowl in Tilean history, some coaches started to see cheerleaders as what they truly are: unbridled death-machines with pom-poms. With a little money, you can easily find yourself a female agent, gearing to help your team out on the turf.

HIRING: You may have ONE Cheerleader player on your team at any time. This model costs the same as a Linemen plus an extra +10k. And unless otherwise stated, also has the same stats as a linemen. Your Cheerleader can be one of three types:

Quicken: Are at -1 AV, but gain Dodge Skill and access to Agility skills.

Vixen: Gains Hypnotic Gaze. This represents their distracting qualities, whether it be attractive features or perhaps haunting aura (explains Zombies)

Sicken: gains Foul Appearance, whether they are imposing or just plain UG-LY.

When a Cheerleader is on your team, you do NOT get +1 to rolls on Kick-off results (and similar events.) The girl is too focused on the game to cheer up the crowd. But, if for any reason you choose to retire your Cheerleader player, you may gain +1 cheerleader (for Kick Off tables) from now on (they cannot be made into Assistant Coaches.)


EXCEPTIONAL TEAMS:

AMAZON
Amazons (being women) have male cheerleaders, not female ones. They can still have male Vixen and Sicken cheerleaders, but instead of the Quicken types, Amazons have a new third type, Thicken.

Thicken: Same as linemen, but gains +1 AV.

BRETONNIANS
Bretonnians, being such sticklers for chivalry, are not strong believers in scantily clad cheerleaders, especially on the pitch. If you have any Knights on your team, you cannot hire any Quicken or Vixen cheerleaders (or inversely, if you have already have one, you cannot hire a Knight.) Sicken cheerleaders are allowed (because they can be male), for there is nothing sicker than seeing Friar Tuck in that short skirt.

GOBLINS/HALFLINGS/SKINKS
Goblins, Halfings, and Skinks (and similar stunties) cannot gain access to Quicken cheerleaders. Instead, they can have the following new type:

Biggin: As a matter of fact, most stunty women are bigger than male stunties. Biggin cheerleaders lose Dodge and cannot access Agility skills, but gain +1 AV and can now learn General skills.

Chuckle this intrigues me I will run this by a few of the local players and see if they wanna give it a run in a specialized experimental division .

Thanks. For gametesting purposes, I could see how you might want to allow two cheerleaders a team, but that's your call.

And now that I know Shadowforge put out a Nun team, I'm rethinking the Bretonnian 'no women' rule...

heh good stuff!

[Styrofoam King]

thanks. If it works out for you, let me know.

While I'm at it, might as well tweek a few rules:

WHO CAN BE CHEERLEADERS: For most teams, 'Linemen' is pretty well defined. But for the borderline ones, here's my decree:

CHAOS DWARFS: CAN have female Dwarf blockers, but any 'Quicken' blockers lose 'Block' when they start off. As a bonus, Hobgoblins can have Quicken, Vixen, Sicken, or Biggin.

LIZARDMEN: Saurus CAN have Sicken and Vixen, but not Quicken Cheerleaders. Skinks can have Vixen, Sicken, or Biggin.

CHAOS (old school): Chaos Warriors CAN have Cheerleaders, but Quicken Cheerleaders start off with an additional -1 AV. Beastmen can have Quicken, Vixen or Sicken.
~~
ADDITIONAL CHANGES: If you have a Cheerleader on the team that is the RESERVE BOX, you may count it on your Kick Off Rolls.
