Bomb + Strong Arm = Useless??
Hi folks,
I am using one of the new Secret League rosters and I have a player with Bombardier. He rolled a normal first skill and the only seemingly relevant skill I can see are Pro and Strong Arm. I am assuming that Strong Arm wont be any use as the range is the minimum range only so cant be reduced band. Is this correct?
I tried to check the range for a bomb in the rule books and on Discord and even Google but not getting any answers.
If this is the case then I will go Pro

Strong arm works for gnome bombardiers in stunty: https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=9425202
Mostly with bombers you are chucking more than 3 squares to avoid embarrassing scatters on missed (but not fumbled) throws. Take strong arm!

Strong arm does not reduce the range by a band....what the hell man, you stuck in LRB3 or some such?
It adds +1 to your pass roll...so...Take strong arm!!!!!!!

Strong Arm adds +1 when a pass is made to short, Long or Long Bomb range...doesn't mention bombs so should work
wouldn't big hand be better for goblin arse scratching?

No... Small hand works best

Throwing a bomb uses the same rules for throwing the ball, with the exception you can't move or stand up the bombardier player before the throw, therefore Strong Arm works when throwing a bomb.
I suppose the player you are referring to is an Ignimbrite, if so, take Strong Arm.

I should think Tackle works best for goblin arse scratching.
How shall you scratch them if you can't catch them?

Bad skill picks are never useless. They can always be used as a bad example!

I Think a bomb should take care of the scratch,,,,,,,

Two Heads for improved chances of scratching. Duke Nukem's logic.

So player you are describing has G and S access. Strong arm actually makes sense for that guy (doubles would go to pass or HMP imo.. with hmp you can just hold those slow guys back and throw ANYWHERE [with random scatters tho so isn't accurate.. but that is like MORTAR and you have FOUR of those.. thats SICK!!!]).
He is ag3 so if rookie throws 3 squares away, it's +3 to work. 4-6 squares away would be 4+ normally but with strong arm those are +3 too! And +5 throws would become +4 instead.
