GR rolled a 12 - should I take the ST or a mutation?

Hi folks,

Last night my rookie Gutter Runner got his first advance, and rolled a 12. While I would love a ST3 GR, would it be worth it? My plan for his first double was VLL, to start him on the 1-turner path, but I have a lot better chance to roll another double than another 12. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
James

Take the +1 ST, it's worth it. Gutter Runners w/ ST 3 can become very dangerous players.

A ST+ Gutter Runner is a blessing by the Horned Rat that can not be denied!

Take anything else and he'll die next game. One turners are quite easy to develope, so wasting a ST+ would be a sin.

+ST no question. mutations are neat and cool and stuff, but ST is where it's at.

ST. It'll happen so rarely you'll kick yourself if you don't take it.

With his existing movement and agility, you will find that the +ST really makes him a very good all round player on both offense and defense. Its tempting, but you can't pass up on an extra ST.

dunno i would be tempted by dauntless but its a toss up, as a receiver st3 means you will need to get 2 players for a 2 dice block, but if you use him for blitzing he won't care much if its a st3 or 4 player, specially if you can get another gutter runner down to assist or get lucky and roll for horns

Gutter Runners Hit
Gutter Runners get hit
Gutter Runners Need +ST

The End.

Imagine what happens when you roll a 12 for his next skill roll

Always take +1ST on a 12, no matter what player, no matter what team, no matter what skills he has. +1ST is just too useful to ever pass up.

I agree 100% with Zombie.

As has already been mentioned, take the strenght as gutter runners have a variety of other uses apart from one turn scoring. Defence and the like, you will find this player far more usefull with ST3

Wow! I guess that settles it. +1ST it is!

I didn't really feel like painting that VLL mutant fig right now anyway

Thanks,
James
