Blocking a chainsaw wielding player - both down

lerchey · Post by **lerchey** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 3:18 pm

I did a search on this, and found some similar topics, but did not see an answer to the question I have, so here goes. :)

Player A initiates a block against a player wielding a chainsaw.

It's a 1 die block, and a Both Down result occurs.

Neither player has block, so they both go down.

Player A should get it against the chainsaw because he blocked the player and took him down.

The chainsaw player should get it because he knocked down the opposing player as a result of being blocked.

Do BOTH players get the +3 armor roll bonus?

Thanks!

I see both being knock-down like this :
- both fell on their butt
- both loose what they carry in hand (chainsaw and/or ball)
- flying chainsaw is free to do whatever it wants to, and opts for a killing spree ! (this is bloodbowl, after all)

So I see both getting the +3 armor roll bonus.

chainsaw player then add 3 to his Armour roll....

i would say both players get the +3.

Definatly both players get the +3 on the armour roll.

Ever so funny when that happens. Especially when the chainsaw breaks the armour of the opponent, but not his own.

I beg to differ, but begging is quite pathetic so I give up and will just agree with the guy agreeing with everyone else.

I'm with lunchmoney on this one. It's actually covered within the rules under the Chainsaw skill description.

'...if a player carrying a chainsaw is Knocked Down for any reason, the opposing coach is allowed to add 3 to his Armour roll to see if the player was injured ... blocking a player with a Chainsaw is equally dangerous, if an opponent knocks himself over when blocking the chainsaw player then add 3 to his Armour roll'

So yes, both players get the 3+
