FUMBBL :: Online Blood Bowl League

A stunty team for LRB 5. Generally a Fling Spin off.

CAPTAIN (Human-ish, Slaver etc...)
The strongiest, hardiest, drunkiest, ugliest fellow runs the
ship and keeps everybody happy/in line. Also he is the only
one with keys/maps to the treasure, so no-one messes
with him.
Bone Head? Do you think those kegs are filled with water?

FIRST MATE (Human)
Probably not the first mate of the captain, but an inherited
title of a pirate supreme.

PEGLEG
Who is better to break a leg on a prone player than a fellow
who has lost his in a freak cannon/crocodile/shark/cooking-
accident?
Of course he is not fast, but he is sturdy.

PARROT
The loyal henchman (?) of the Captain. He is mostly
annoying, getting in the way of everything. His Pass Block
without hands is so he can get close enough to be
annoying anyway... Picking up the ball is not his thing;
picking some other player in the face is more his thing.

MONKEY
Not a sea-monkey. Mostly aboard a pirateship for rat-eating
and company. A symbol of the captains 'status'. If he has a
monkey or two he gains braggingrights about him being
'everywhere on the seven seas'.

CABIN BOYS
The average pirate. Semi-drunk and still well balanced,
mostly because the ship cringes the opposite way.

I like it! But Guard on the parrot is too much I think. A guard that can go everywhere...
And I would get rid of the SG on the pegleg or increase the cost. Starting with a skill that most players in S can only get on a double seems very good, so I think they should be more expensive

True... Increasing cost... (Actually forgot to update the price when he got sneaky git.)

I'm not so sure about the captain... a St4 halfling?

Plus you are missing the chance to have a wee little St2 halfling waving a cutlas around with undue self importance :D

I'd chuck in a masterchef instead of a wizard (no ingredients though) and maybe some sort of pirate ogre.

As discused in the forum, you need a Ninja team too, those come in pairs.

Good roster... a bit too fast at first glance if anithing

Posted by DonTomaso on 2010-06-12 00:05:50

The captain is a ST 4 human-ish thing... as well as his first mate. Half-ogre?

All those little guys with stab? Don't think Stunty would survive that.. :)
Perhaps...

Hmm... we'll see... gonna have some playtesting to do here... :)

Posted by DonTomaso on 2010-06-12 00:07:00

nin: Eshin are the ninjas...

I just meant the captain should be a self important fling with a cutlas :)

I dunno, it just sort of loses the flingy feel if there are humans around too. Maybe its just me.

Make the regular flings 4 2 3 6 Sprint, Sure Feet..... that way they are nearly as fast but quite unsteady (its the rum). Plus it means that they are garuanteed to be true swashbucklers with general access if they ever reach skill number five :D

Shouldn't the captain have OFAB and all the cabin boys be called roger just like in captain pugwash?

Posted by MrFoxTalbot on 2010-06-12 04:21:49

Nerf that parrot and you almost have it!
I might give OFAB to the captain.

Nice theme, but they look way to powerful at the moment. The parrot is amazing and should be worth more than 35k or got rid of and the first mate is too strong for stunty - assuming he is basically a human would mean he had access to block and tackle which would destroy stunty teams. The rest looks good to me though.

0-1 Animated Mast (Treeman)
MA: 2
ST: 6
AG: 1
AV: 10
Throw Team Mate; Thick Skull; Mighty Blow; Stand Firm; Strong Arm; 'Way Anchor (Take Root);
Cost: 120k
S (GAP)

This fills the TTM and theme I think, and with only 1 available shouldn't rock the boat. Is there a possibilty that the Animated Mast could a Freebooter that way it's in for one game only or a constant drain on plunder (treasury) resources?

anyhoo just my tupence worth :)
