Team Creation
My first blog! Sadly, it will not be about the wonders of Shindahl, an RIP for Saurel, or a comment on Earthen Taig as they go into the wheel of Chaos.
Instead, from a D&D campaign I DMed many years ago, where the players went through levels 1-23, I recall one of my favourite monster species.
And from the depths of the oceans come Sahaugin; finding themselves on land with enemies all about, they realize: The best way to dominate these pitiful creatures is through Blood Bowl! Having practiced for centuries in their underwater stadiums, the Sahaugin are brutally strong, and will look to crush all opposition.

Str 10-12, Con 10-12, Dex 13-20, Int 18-28, Wis 13-15, Cha 10-12
Wizard MC, Daily Swap (Summon Marilith), Elemental Empowerment, Vistani Heritage, Superior Implement (Petrified Orb), Dual Implement, Oncoming Storm

Summon Marilith (once base, plus two from original AP + Vistani Foresight, plus one from first milestone, plus one from fourth milestone = 5 per day), Cloak of Winter Storm (encounter power via archspell)
Assumptions:
Always get CA (for simplicity; probably you wouldn't due to picking new targets)
Cloak of Winterstorm has been cast already with the Staff of Ruin
Waistband of the Grappler is active
Never hit a bloodied creature (for simplicity; since this will obviously be false sometimes, Marilith attacks should do 1d10 damage extra sometimes)
On your turn:
Minor action: Free! Do something!
Move action: Free! Get close to a new target!
Standard: Marilith attacks 3 times using Petrified Orb. Each attack that hits slides the target 4 squares (1 from mark of storm since Summon Marilith is Lightning from Arcane Admixture, plus one from Rushing Cleats, plus one from Orb Expertise, plus one from Petrified Orb), into and out of Cloak of Winter Storm twice, and activating Lightning Field 4 times.
Attack Bonus:
+15 lvl +9 int +6 enh +3 expertise +2 CA +2 ring +1 oncoming -2 waist = +36 vs Ref 42 (10% crit, 65% hit)
Marilith damage:

Crit: 20 +57 base +6d10 orb of ghostbane triumph +4 petrified orb +12 ring of giants = 126
Cloak of Winter Storm damage:

Summon Marilith (once base, plus two from original AP + Vistani Foresight, plus one from first milestone, plus one from fourth milestone = 5 per day), Cloak of Winter Storm (encounter power via archspell)
Assumptions:
Always get CA (for simplicity; probably you wouldn't due to picking new targets)
Cloak of Winterstorm has been cast already with the Staff of Ruin
Waistband of the Grappler is active
Never hit a bloodied creature (for simplicity; since this will obviously be false sometimes, Marilith attacks should do 1d10 damage extra sometimes)
On your turn:
Minor action: Free! Do something!
Move action: Free! Get close to a new target!
Standard: Marilith attacks 3 times using Petrified Orb. Each attack that hits slides the target 4 squares (1 from mark of storm since Summon Marilith is Lightning from Arcane Admixture, plus one from Rushing Cleats, plus one from Orb Expertise, plus one from Petrified Orb), into and out of Cloak of Winter Storm twice, and activating Lightning Field 4 times.

Seems very overpowered team. Power tripping here?
Why access to M? Just seems like you want claw on the team.
If you want to represent the fluff of that some have claws other extra arm, then make another positional with extra arm instead of just giving them M access.
Prince of power tripping:
Should be treated as a big guy
It need the loner skill.
Should not have access to G at all.
Should not have Ag 3 at all. No more than 2. (Does not fit rule 8, no players should have a combined str and agi more than 7)

Seems overpowered to me. You get 3 strength 5 guys, and an excellent ball handle in the Malenti?
You have 6 Positionals in the game as well...
And having a ton of block on your linesmen, well that is just awesome.
I all though, the theme is pretty good. I do have some suggestions.
0-16 - Ensalved - 5/3/2/7 Frightening Appearence, Thick Skull - G/SAP - 40K
0-2 - Malenti - 7/3/3/7 Pass, Dodge - GAP/S - 80K
0-2 - Sahaugin Blitzers - 6/3/2/8 -Frenzy, Dauntless, Claw - GS/APM - 90K
0-2 - Wereshark -4/5/1/9 Frenzy - S/GAP - 100K
0-1 - Sahaugin Prince ????
Lose the Block, since that doesn't seem to fit, and streamline the positionals. This team is slightly better in balance, and you get the cool Frightening Appearance guys as your linesmen.

it seems not very well thought out...
the only original bit is the fishypeople type theme. the rest of those numbers and skills don't mean a lot to me.
this team looks like a norse team with different names. with a space marine. ;)

Rates 1 for calling a roster a team.
Posted by Nelphine on 2011-05-29 05:37:53
@Overpowered: Yeah, this is definitely a very strong team. Probably too strong. It's also not the strongest team I've come up with so far using the team creation rules (strongest has 2 S 5 players, 8 S 8 players, and everyone else on the team starts with wrodge). So I posted this one which at least has character to see what kind of reactions I would get.
@Timlagor: Actually, this is just the first post of my idea - yeah it's just a roster so far, but I have an entire campaign world based around a Sahaugin empire, including princes that would definitely do something like Blood Bowl had it existed in the campaign; but since I'm rather new to Blood Bowl, getting game details down is the part I would forget, so it was needed.
@Specific suggestions on balance:
First, I would like to stay with breaking rule 8. My reasoning starts from a character point of view (the 4 armed Sahaugin Prince is supposed to do EVERYTHING better than anyone else in his fiefdom), and then continues into balance: Since he has bloodlust, but he cannot bite the linesmen, he will soon run out of things to bite; if you have a particularly bad game, you'll probably end up with him running off the pitch in the first half. This guy is specifically meant to be more like a vampire in terms of awesomeness, but with only one on the team. Given the feedback though, I'll definitely change the Enslaved position to 0-2, to increase the true threat the Prince's Bloodlust is supposed to give to his own team.
Second, at the idea of Enslaved as linesmen: While I like the idea of Frightening Appearance linesmen, for this team, that specifically contradicts what I want the prince to be.
Third: at the question of mutation. You are probably right; anyone using the team would just end up choosing claw everywhere. Sadly, that's very in character for Sahaugin; but from balance point of view, I don't really mind losing it. It's out (on the linesmen).
Fourth: At the question of block. This was actually a meta-game thing. After my first 75 games on fumbbl, the thing I find I hate the most is having one of my favoured players die, and then trying to skill up a replacement so he isn't a useless git. And having a dorf team (I love d&d dwarves, so I had to), I've realized their blockers are exactly what I want when I play a team. With 0 SPP, they're NOT useless! However, I realize that everyone hates dorfs.. so I'd like some suggestions on some form of compromise for my blockers. Characterwise, the reasoning here is that the Blockers end up being a very good choice, and in a proper Sahaugin empire, it would be very possible to not bother with any of the positionals as they would be distinctly outcast in their society (well, not the Blitzers.)
Actually.. having said that, what about combining the blitzer/blockers? I'll re-edit the original post to show what I mean.

Well 8 S8 players break another rule. So no point going there
And as you said, you prince over pwer tripping is not legal according to the rules. So the roster will never happen. Too overpowered. Increase the RRs if you want to have bloodlust to have an effect on the team. Having 1 guy with bloodlust and only RR at 60k then the blood lust will do no harm to the team at all.
