Don't get too carried away. He will be hunted, choose your times to field him. Remember AV7, find people with tackle and watch your dream melt away.

But yes, you jammy bastard, that is one mean skink. The next step to the next skill is far away and to have a skill combo is maybe getting him to 51spp which means this player would be 200k!

Look after him, don't abuse him.

IMO bring him on as a back up saurus, develope the other skinks now.

I have played two games with the ST4 skink.

First game he went badly hurt after turn 3. A failed GFI.

Second game was against a noob. I got the chance to win 4 - 0 and score 3 TD with this skink. He is now at 27spp. Looking forward to the next +ST (OK, I cannot take the +ST but any double is good, or +AG!!!!)

I'm glad someone put some thought into the stat increases limiting them to 2.

I used to have a ST4 skink on fumbbl - http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=playe ... id=7711634 he was the best. Sadly the team was in a test division so I had to retire that team :blue:

lol

But they are awesome :)

Barring doubles I think Sidestep - to help keep him alive. I'm not 100% sold on Diving Tackle after that - just because if you really want him to be your key blitzer jump up might be more useful.

I never considered jump up but indeed, would be nice choice. I notice that he his amazing in defense. I but him far away of LOS to sack oncoming players. If he is on the ground, I can still go everywhere with the jump up. Nice.

But then again I like sure feet more then jump up. Ok, you have to roll dice for sure feet but jump up gives you three squares when you are on the ground, sure feet gives you always to square with dice (on the ground or on your feet)

I would definitely take Sidestep on a normal skill roll, Block on doubles. And I agree that next skill should be Sure Feet.

Side step will be first choice of non double. Block on a double. +AG when 11!!!

Played my next game.

The ST4 skink went Badly Hurt (phew). He hit a casualty so he is one point away from skill increase (or stat increase :wink: )

To stay on theme my dodge saurus rolled a double 6 and is now a ST5 Saurus!!! :roll: :oops:

At some point, could you post your full roster so those of us without loaded dice can marvel at its ridiculousness?

No, last laptop died because it was the first day I got BBLE. I installed the programme and then myself. Took a glass of red wine and played a game. Made it dark in the room but too dark so I spilled my wine over my keyboard.

Laptop dead.

New laptop who seem to throw in some stats for my lizardmen.
