Some ideas to kick around for a future ruleset.
AIM: To bring back specialised skill players who do ONE thing well
1) NO secondary skills
2) Stats can be raised by a maximum of one point in each category on a roll of 100 on a D100 (1 stat point per 100 roll)
3) Block becomes a strength skill and Dwarf linemen loose block as a starting skill |

I'm totally in favour of that!
No seriously,
regarding 3) Skills should increase the value of a player based on their usability. Block should be more expensive in that regard than strip ball for example. |

Skills could be priced in steps of 5k. Tier 3 teams such as Goblins could have discounted skills as roster special rule (I'm not suggesting to make discounted skills for every tier, just for tier 3). For example, a random Primary skill on a Goblin could cost 5k, a chosen Primary skill 10k, a random Secondary skill 10k, a chosen Secondary skill 20k.
With Season Re-Draft they should not become OP, just cheaper thus facing less opponent's skills.
If we want to make them even better, 0-2 rostered bribes (Goblins are supposed to foul and bribe according to background).
Trolls without Loner or with Loner 2+. |

Why are we entertaining any conversation with the most willy, backstabbing and down right ruthless goblin on the site?
My goblin radar is pinging big time. |

i'm not just talking about gobbos, I'm talking about every race. Catchers throwers and stunties should not have block, blockers orcs and dwarfs should not have dodge etc etc. Secondary skills make everyone the same as the meta is the same (access to all of G,A,P,S) but if you ban secondaries then a catcher meta ( G+A skills) will be different from a blocker meta (S+G) creating more variety and therefore fun, theoretically. |

Why have skillups at all then
Each player's starting skills gives them plenty of specialisation, and if players are allowed to take the same skills then it will clearly make them more similar
In other words, please explain why this is good and necessary:
"AIM: To bring back specialised skill players who do ONE thing well"
Also I would object to 'bring back'
Please explain what historic period you're referring to, and why it was good and why it is necessary to try and recreate |
