True, but they also make more rolls. Repeated 2D blocks turnover eventually, whereas moving and handoffs/passes you have only a few rolls to turnover.bouf wrote:Being that all the easiest actions are on the top... and almost all of those are Block rolls! It sure makes Dwarf coaches look lazy, eh?
I think it's interesting that for an ST3 AG3 block player who is tied down by a ST4 player, you are more likely to turnover by dodging than by blocking.
Also the opposition block skill makes no risk to the turnover.

This is 100% true for GOOD dwarf coaches. Bad dwarf coaches never turnover and still lose 6 to 1 as elves, skaven, and humans outposition them and get wide open running and passing lanes, which the dwarves can not recover from.bouf wrote:Being that all the easiest actions are on the top... and almost all of those are Block rolls!

At the end of the day, MA 4 and AG 2 are real problems

Very true... except for the "to 1" part. They either lose 6-0 or 3-1, as one successful Dwarf offense knocks three failed ones off the clock (vs. Elves, anyway). Last season we had a Dwarf team w/only one win: half the time they still had a TRR at end of half!Jural wrote:Bad dwarf coaches never turnover and still lose 6 to 1 as elves, skaven, and humans outposition them and get wide open running and passing lanes, which the dwarves can not recover from.

With Pro, assuming you use it only to re-roll skull/both down:
1d: 1/3 to have to use Pro, so 1/6 to fail, 4/6 to succeed (that is, not fall down), 1/6 to rr (4/36 to succeed). That's 10/36, 27.777...%, or the same as a 6+ roll on 2d6.
2d: 1/9 to have to use Pro, so 1/18 to fail, 16/18 to succeed, 1/18 to rr (8/9), or 10/162, or about 6.2%. Who needs a calculator when you've got the Golden Ratio?
3d: 1/27 to have to use pro, so 1/54 to fail, 52/54 to succeed, and 1/54 to get to 26/27. (27^2)(2) = (3^6)(2) = (729)(2) = 1458 permutations. 27 fail w/failed Pro, plus one more with successful Pro, so that's 28/1458. Factor out the 2, and you get 14/729, or a hair under 2%.
With Pro and Block:
1d: 1/12 +1/72 = 7/72 ~ 10%
2d: 1/72 +1/2592 = 1/72, really. That's about 1.4% or so.
3d: Whatever. About half the chance with Block alone (such an infinitesimal amount more that it's not worth calculating). Trusting the numbers above, it's a bit less than 1/400.
Block is definitely better for a Big Guy.
1d: 1/3 to have to use Pro, so 1/6 to fail, 4/6 to succeed (that is, not fall down), 1/6 to rr (4/36 to succeed). That's 10/36, 27.777...%, or the same as a 6+ roll on 2d6.

bouf, your table ignores the negatrait. Big guys have a smaller chance of turnover because some of the time, they're simply going to stand there.
You could almost say that Pro increases the risk of turnover. If you attempt a block with your big guy and fail the negatrait, there's a 0% chance of turnover. If you pro that, 50% of the time you can now block, and that means that there's a risk of turnover...

I simply don't have the brain power to contemplate all these permutations on the pitch.

Oops. My numbers didn't factor in Bonehead.
I guess it takes one not to know one. Good luck.
