Mighty Blow

Post by bjorn9486 »

Hello all, first post and I didn't really want to make a "hello I'm new" post.

In the league I am playing in, we have house-ruled Mighty Blow a bit. We state that if you roll armor and you would need the +1 to break through, then you use it there. If you roll armor and make it with out the +1, then the bonus goes towards damage.

We feel that this is a good compromise between version 3 of blood bowl and LRB5. I was just wondering if anyone has tried this out before and has is become broken?

Um, isn't this how it works now?

Well they're both right. 8)

One thing that many forget is that you don't have to use a skill and that you decide wether to use after the dice i rolled...

Page 23 LRB5
....
4. Skill use is not mandatory
5. You can choose to use a skill that affects a dice roll after rolling the dice.

OOooo, whoops

We've always read it as before you roll either armor or injury you have to choose which it affected. If that is the case, I'll need to re-read that section. Thank you for the enlightenment.

However the original posters wasn't talking about forcing usage at all.

So Darkson was right. What he posted was exactly how the LRB 5.0 version already works.

Hmm. I meant that both Darkson and rodders were right...

I just thought I could shed some light over the issue by pointing towards the paragraf in the book so bjorn could see for himself. Since it was bjorns first post I thought I could be a little helpful. ;)

Just read the section that Ikterus pointed out and I see where I was wrong. Thank you for the information and thank you everyone else for contributing to this thread. :)
