You should have tried Blood Bowl 2.
There was none of this picking skills, as all the skills we rolled on random tables. If you blitzer got a passing skill, then that's just the way it was.
In fact I was a little bit shocked at first when the new version came in and you were allowed to pick your skill ... took some getting used to.

Should definetly have picked jump up. Thats the new best skill in the game.

You fail! You shall NOT actually leap with the leaper. Use him as a tactical fear generator to make your opponent beat himself.

I think that skilling t ospecialize is under-estimated. Get him those legs, and enjoy!

Can you give Str 2 players MB in LRB 6?

Not what i would have chosen... but can still be effective. To elaborate on Reisender's point below - use the threat of a leaping cage breaker to force your opponent to play more cautiosly. Tey will hopefully commit more players to forming a solid cage and will allow you to slow down the cage and hinder their offense.
Its a bit like having Frenz players on the pitch - forces opponents away from sidelines.

Sounds great. But what use is Dodge in an ion field?

Interesting trick.... might have to remember that for the eventual onslaught of AG 4 goats I inevitably get.
Does PT and DT stack? Cos if so, grab one of those quick. -3 to dodging is sexy.

PT and DT stack. For an underworld team, it's even a pair of normal rolls for most of the team. For pact, the gobbo and DE can take it on normal rolls as well.

looking forward to hear more about your progress with this player.
It is an interesting option to have, Chaos does have a possibility to build a lot of specialists with their access to different skills and i would like to see more of this type of teambuilding than the standard that try to maim everything that moves.

This is all very nice, but leap still involved wasting the double. You could just have waited for a normal skillup on another guy to take it.

Go for it mate. I took leap on a bullcen once. Oki he had ag4 but still dodge had prob been better but hes still the only one player i miss after many 1000 games.
