Halfling Treeman double on first skill

Tempted with pass, however Nerves of steel may be better if your oppo tries to pressure you when your passing.
You can use NOS when you ttm right?
Otherwise dodge.

No, your dead wrong. The probability for a stick to stand up successfully with Pro is 62.5%.
I would never take Pass as a first skill, since Pro is a minor version of Pass already (50%-Pass) which can help in other situatiuons as well.

i am almost sure you can't use NoS on TTM. as for which skill to take, it depends: you rely heavily on TTM, get Pass, otherwise get Pro.

I'm pretty sure NoS is ball only, so it doesn't work for TTMs.

Pass vs Pro.

Pass is much better for chucking flings around (as it always works).

Pro useful for everything (blocking, standing up & passing).

Pro is actually equal to Pass for a Troll TTMing as they've got RS & AH to roll too.

Sure Hands doesn't work on TTM.

Vote for Pro if you're using on-pitch take root, Pass if you're not.

dodge is good, block you will need soon, break tackle, a ma increase would be nice. piling on would be great if it didn't get watered down.

Give this Treeman pass

Depends on your league.

Pass is probably the best option, unless your league counts Pro as a trait and uses on-pitch Take Root. Even then I might still take Pass.

If you do take Pass remember to only reroll fumbles. Re-rolling an inaccurate pass is almost certain to result in a fumble and turnover.

dodge for a treeman all the way. helps in the clutch when you need some blocks. if you get a ma increase take that too. if your lucky enough

well I think I will go for pass TTM is so fun even though my halfies get SI'ed most of the time

thanks for suggestions

Pass if you want him to be better at chucking flings about, Dodge if you want him to stay upright more.

Simple as that really.

Sure feet and then break tackle is another way to go.

pass i would go with pass that would help the halfling thorwing game if needed if not dodge

Since stand Firm means your treeman can't fall down dodging, dodge is primarily useful in PB/POW. I'd go for pro or pass.
