block and guard as traits

[zlefin]

I was thinking, when figuring out costing formulas, block and guard are both valued at 30k. Also they're taken very quickly by nearly all players who can on a normal roll. And they really seem like they could be as
good as stand firm and jump up. Obviously, it'd help mass block teams
and have a lot of effects on the game, and it'd probably require some team tweaking to make everything balanced with it. It might yield alot more skill variety, as there wouldn't be these 2 hogging all the early rolls on teams which start with fewer skills.
Might be interesting to see what would happen in a league using it as a rule. thoughts?

I never can think of many good new ideas but i think traits are one of the worse things in the current LRB. Nah block is here to stay, likewise guard as the only usefull strength skill aint going away.

The gaurd thing would really need a lot of better strength skills available, what else do you take with an ogre?
