Strategy and Tactics - Tricky Trait Rolls TrentBrooks - Jul 30, 2005 - 05:08 PM Post subject: Tricky Trait Rolls
I'm working up my Orc team (now TR 294!) and just rolled doubles on my #2 Blitzer. He already has Block, Tackle, Guard, and Mighty Blow. What do I give him on doubles? Everyone I talk to says Dodge to make him more survivable, but that sounds pretty defensive to me... I hardly dodge except with my AG4 Blitzer or Goblin. I was thinking Diving Tackle, to make him a royal pain in the butt. I have a lineman with it that no one likes, and it seems to work.
Any input would be appreciated. I play 7 of my next 12 season games against Elves or Amazons, but perhaps Dodge is the overall better choice? I dunno...Mordredd - Jul 30, 2005 - 05:31 PM Post subject:
You could go for stand firm to keep his guard and tackle where you want it.Doubleskulls - Jul 30, 2005 - 09:39 PM Post subject:
Stand Firm is a brilliant skill. Take it. Then you can dodge as much as you like and don't care if you fail...KarlLagerbottom - Jul 31, 2005 - 06:08 PM Post subject:
I didn't think Stand Firm still worked that way.

It won't in the Vault, but under LRB? No problem.
Orcs can't take Jump Up as it's an Agility trait.Doubleskulls - Aug 01, 2005 - 08:08 AM Post subject:
Well SF just means you don't go prone, but it does end your action. The combo with Guard players is just amazingly annoying to play against too.
