In essence the DityPlayer buff now allows a second blitz with chance of ejection.

I then double down and say this is a upgrade for SneakyGit. Because most of the time a foul on a standing player. Since the rules for fouls are the same, no change. The DP foul is going to most likely only have a +1 or so from assists.

Now all of a sudden that sneaky git/DP foul into a standing crowd of players...good move, he is not getting ejected on the failed straight up AV roll.

Rated 6 for a good idea.

LRB7 stuff.

I think this should be Sneaky Git, not Dirty Player. DP is fine, SG could use a small boost.

I think at one time there was a dirty kick skill (basically doing what you described). maybe the infamous 4th ed rules?

Seems too close to what stab does and allowing a second blitz really changes how offensive output of a team works.

Definitely the whole game mechanics should be built around DP.

(Ok, the heavy bash mechanics only to make sense....)

I think that given that a block is essentially a full on assault it's hard to think what would still be a foul.

Frenzy foul also: the kick pushes the fouled player 2 squares and while we're at it 2 times AV (and ref) rolls as well. Sure, why not.

I don't agree with allowing fouls on blocks, but I do think it would be cool to be able to pull off "cheating" moves while blocking. So for example:

Eye Gouge: If this player blocks with 2 or more dice in his favour, if two of the dice are the same (ie Push/Push), place the defender prone after the block is resolved. Blocking player must still be standing for this skill to be used.

Groin Shot: As Stab, but if armour roll is successful, defender loses tacklezones. If used during a blitz, attacker must make an Agility test at +1 before rolling against armour.

Diving: When this player is blocked but does not go down on a Push/Defender Stumbles, he is placed face down and attacker has a chance of being kicked out

Turtle: When this player is blocked, he throws his arms over his head pre-emptively and goes down no matter the result. Resolve the block as normal, but defender gets +1 AV. If the Turtling player remains standing, place him prone.

Diving Foul FTW!

"kick a standing player in the jewels? Jump on his back ripping his head gear off, gouging out his eyes?", isn't this the reason you have an armor & injury roll?
