Just to pre-empt the next question, no you cant use catch on an interception, as you are not attempting to catch the ball, but stop the ball in flight, getting to the intended receiver. No re-roll for catch skill.
Wrong.
You may use catch to reroll an interception, read the skilldescription:
Quote: A player who has the Catch skill is allowed to re-roll the D6 if he fails to catch the ball. It also allows the player to re-roll the D6 if he drops a hand-off or fails to make an interception. |

According to the skill description in LRB 4.0 you can use catch on an interception:
Quote: Catch (Agility Skill)
A player who has the Catch skill is allowed to re-roll the D6 if he fails to catch the ball. It also allows the player to re-roll the D6 if he drops a hand-off or fails to make an interception.

Wow, what a lengthy topic. So looks like Blood Bowl honors the NFL's "holy roller" play...as long as the ball is moving and you still recover it, you're still in business.
Now obviously if you fail a pick-up roll, it IS a turnover, but the bouncing ball could still be caught by a nearby player, thus still allowing you to be in possession of the ball, but NOT able to move any more players.
I always try to have 1 or 2 players nearby when I attempt to pick up the ball just in case this would happen.
And SuM, you're elves still suck. |
