Does the -1 to pass modifier from Foul Appearance apply to Hail Mary Pass?

For purposes of the fumble, I would say that it would. Just as tackle zones would, etc.

Under LRB 4 - Yes
Under LRB 5 - No, because FA doesn't put a -1 modifier on the Pass, Pick or Catch rolls (that's what Disturbing Presence does).

No, under both LRB4 and LRB5 because both have an FAQ that specifically says that tackle zones and Foul appearance/Disturbing presence do not affect Hail Mary Pass.

Good point, forgot to check the FAQs.

Bevan is right - the 2+ for HMP is unmodified.

Would it not have been simpler to add "this roll is unmodified" to the HMP skill, rather than tucking it into the FAQ?

Yep, hind sight is 20/20 and most of the contributors to LRB5 would have "known" that.

One for LRB 6.0 then, methinks.
