Chainsaw fouling w/ assists

[lordchaos]

Can you do this? Use assists I mean. I'm sure you can but I was argued with by General Jason.

Yup no problem

I'm curious as to what the rationale was for trying to argue that you couldn't assist a chainsaw foul.

The assisting fouler doesn't want to get his foot chopped off?

That brings up a related point.. are goblins stupid enough to assist a goblin swinging a ball that's heavier than they are? Sure, if the ball picks up a few gobbos on its travels it'll deliver an even more fearsome blow on final impact, but that is pretty suicidal even for a race that hangs around with trolls..

[Darkson]

Yes - where does it say the b&c can't use assists?

[Daefaroth]

I don't think he has a question about the rule, I think he is questioning the logic behind the rule itself.

Basically he is suggesting that B&C players should ignore all assists, if I am reading his post correctly.

[Cramy]

What the coach and fans will do to him is scarier than getting hit by the ball and chain, and scarier than risking getting his foot choped-off.

If a Goblin wouldn't be willing to be a "team player", I'd be sending him to the bottom of the river with a nice piece of concrete to keep him company ...

For assisting the secret weapons, I like to view the assists as the other players holding the victim down so the fouler can get a good clean hit

I also had it in my head that chainsaw did not allow assists. On checking the rulebook, I was thinking of Stab which states:

This player may attack an opponent with their stabbing attack instead of throwing a block at them. Make an unmodified Armour roll for the victim. If the score is less than or equal to the victim’s Armour value then the attack has no effect. If the score beats the victim’s Armour value then they have been wounded and an unmodified Injury roll must be made.

This seems to suggest (although does not explicitly state) that assists would not be allowed with Stab. Am I reading that correctly?

[Aliboon]

Assists only count when you are making a block action-a stab (or chainsaw attack) is in leiu of a block and therefore assists are irrelevant (i.e. you don't get a bonus to the AV roll if you have an assist).

[Buggrit]

Except when fouling when neither chainsaw/stab or anything else but Dirty Player and Sneaky git are useable. It's always good to have some assists with a foul

[Aliboon]

Umm, I'm sure you still get the +3 bonus for fouling with a chainsaw-its their best use.

[Buggrit]

The rules state that if you hit somebody with a chainsaw you get +3 to the armour, nowhere does it state that bonus applies when fouling.

[PubBowler]

Wrong.

The skill description for Chainsaw specifically says that a chainsaw can foul and get the +3. And must roll to kick back while doing so.
