So... The following interaction happened this morning during a game, and it has me confused.

Both teams set up at the start of the game. Kick-Off result is a Blitz. Chaos Dwarf Bull-Centaur activates for the blitz. Moves 5 squares, hits a dwarf blocker, chooses not to follow up, and then rushes. Rolls a 1 on the rush. Immediately falls down, Blitz is over.

My question is, I know I don't get a Team RR on that, but he has Sure Feet... Why didn't the Sure Feet reroll trigger?

The skill starts with "Once per team turn,[...]" and blitz according to the errata/faq, isn't a team turn.

(And actually, the FAQ specially covers Sure Feet currently.)
Quote:
Q: Can the Sure Feet skill be used on moves outside of a player's activation, such as those provided from the Blitz results on the Kick-off Event table? (p75)
A: No. The Sure Feet skill can only be used during that player's activation.

I think they've messed up the terminology.. since Blitz says the players activate, but they've previously said the Blitz event isn't a team turn. >shrug<

Agree its not a TRR, due to it being a Blitz.

But thought built in skills allowing a RR can be implemented. Like Catch

Here's the guide for what is usable during a blitz kickoff event.

Catch doesn't say anything about being used during a team turn, but then... it's moot because there is nothing possible to catch during a Blitz kickoff event. (There's no ball during the kickoff event, and nothing can be thrown...)

And rerolls for Dodge, for example, explicitly aren't available per the errata/FAQ.

Because GW hates consistency in their rules.

You might find useful to check this:

as general reference about the skills disabled by "Blitz!" event.

Hmmm...Pro can be used on a Blitz. Interesting. I guess because it is not guaranteed?

Also, aside from Y/N, what does the "-" stand for?

- = "Does not apply

Catch is a "-" Because there can never be anything to catch on a BLITZ.
Jump Up is a "-" because no one is ever on the ground to begin a BLITZ, etc. etc.

I used Catch as albeit a poor example of where a player's built in skills can be used as a RR.
Such as 'High Kick' result, a catcher can rr a failed catch. Other players can not use TRR for a failed catch

So seems a bit stupid that a BC with SF can not use it on the Blitz.
To be pedantic maybe players block, shouldn't be allowed to use it on the Blitz!

It's a mess, it's inconsistent, and I don't think GW even realised

It all hinges on some skills saying 'Once per team turn..' which I think they put in to specify you can't use it multiple times in a single turn.
I don't think they intended to exclude Blitz! events, or opponent's turn


Hopefully it gets cleared up, in either new ruleset or a table similar to Christer's in the FAQ or something

Preaching to the choir my friend.

But then, I also think inaccurate passes, and conceding the game to win as a bit stupid too. Unfortunately the folks who write the rules aren't here.

I haven't come across that one, when & how does that happen?
