Please put to rest

[Daragor]

In a highly competitive league finally, the guard skill has come under intense scrutiny. On offense can a player with guard actually assist more than one block per team turn. Following this can he make a block himself and use a skill (ie. tackle) on that block. Bearing in mind the player, as stated in the rules, can only use one skill per team turn. Furthermore, can the same be done on defense.
Secondly. If a player has dodge and stand firm and needs to dodge from a block result, must he be pushed back or can he actually remain in his square due to stand firm. This makes him effectively better than the elven catchers. Is this right.
Please any takers.

Guard can be used multiple times during both turns. In effect it's always 'on'.

A player with Stand Firm who fails a dodge remains standing in the square he dodged from.

[Darkson]

can only use one skill per team turn.

This is a 4th edition rule, no longer in effect with the LRB.

I think you're talking about getting the POW with the ! in your reference to the Dodge and Stand Firm guy.

Yes. He stays in the square even though he "used" Dodge to keep from falling over, he also used Stand Firm to keep from being pushed at the same time.

Don't confuse "each skill once per action" with only using that skill once per turn. The "action" is when you actually use that guy to do something. Then, you may only use each of his skills once for that turn. If a player is getting blocked by a player with frenzy, for example, but the block dice keep showing that POW with the !, you don't go down if you have the dodge skill even though you used it to remain standing for both of the blocks the Frenzying player threw. It was the blocking player's action. Not yours. Guard works the same way. It's passive. It only works during another players action so you can take advantage of it with every block (assuming he's in a position to lend the assist, of course).

Darkson has it right. It looks like you're playing with a ruleset that was scrapped years ago.
