I do like bloodbowl and happily accept that randomness is part an parcel of the game. However, I do feel that the impact taking casualties early on in a match can really destroy any chance you have of playing.

I put forward the following idea. Instead of players going off the pitch at the first sign of cas why not have injuries which impact the game they are currently in?

My idea is that
Every injury results in the player being removed from the pitch as now but they get the resultant injury applied to them there and then and can start playing from the start of the next drive.

So players who get a sprained ankle could still play but maybe lose 2 points of movement for the rest of the game. Some other injury could reduce armor on a temporary basis.I feel this would reduce the impact of bad cas dice. After this the player would revert back to usual stats.

Also, some injuries that cause a permanant reduction could be included which do remove the player from the game from that instant.

Cleary the current injury table would not suffice but it could be adjusted accordingly.

I must say, this is just an idea so feel free to point out any glaring flaws or abuses or comment on any part of this that sounds good
