Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition: Difference between revisions

- Each of your players can either move or throw a block each turn, not both - to do both is called a Blitz. You get one Blitz per turn to use on the player of your choosing. A Blitz must be declared before the player you want to use to Blitz does anything else, so be careful not to move or stand a fallen player up until you're sure you won't be using them to Blitz. Also, as long as you've got movement to spare, the Blitzing player can still move after throwing a block.

- The first action you perform that fails (if you fail an attempt to pick up the ball, botch a pass or handoff, have a player fall over, or get called on a foul) causes you to lose the rest of your turn. So have a general idea of what you want to accomplish each turn and do actions that involve no risk first (like safe moves and standing up players that have been knocked down). That way, even if you screw up the first thing that requires a roll, you haven't completely wasted the turn. From there, do actions in order of risk and importance - low risk and high importance first and so on.  

- When you have a player selected and hover your mouse over an enemy that the player is eligible to block, the cursor will show how risky that block is - one white die shown means one block die will be rolled, meaning a moderate risk. Two or three white dice means the block is in your favor - two or three block dice will be rolled and you get to choose the result you want. Two or three red dice means it's in your opponent's favor - two or three block dice will be rolled, but THEY get to choose the result. Which means you'll want to avoid throwing that block unless it's your only option in a last-ditch attempt to score or prevent a touchdown. Whether or not a block is in your favor is determined by your player's ST +1 for each valid supporter vs. the opposing player's ST +1 for each of their valid supporters. If both sides are even, it's a one-die-block. If one side is greater, it's a two-die-block chosen by the victor, and if one side is twice as high as the other, it's a three-die-block.

- The skill Block is your best friend - it keeps your character standing on a "Both Down" result both when attacking (negating a turnover) and defending. You'll want it ASAP on damn near everything that doesn't come with it, with the exception of your passers.  

- The edges of the field are dangerous - players can be shoved off the field (often called "crowdsurfing"), and when they are, they get their asses kicked by angry fans - and thier armor won't protect them. Any player that gets crowdsurfed has to skip the roll vs. their armor and goes right into rolling vs. injury. Plus, even if they do avoid injury, they're still gone until the next kickoff. The only drawback is that injuries due to crowdsurfing do not award SPP to the player that shoved another off the field, but an easy removal of an enemy from the field is worth it.
