Special Rule - A Last Hurrah!
The Torneo de los Muertos celebrates those who have met their end on Nuffle’s sacred pitch and helps several of those recently departed, who still crave the roar of the crowd, to have a shot at glory.
At the start of every match each coach will randomly draw one of six character cards which contains the profile of a recently departed spirit who is present at the game. That spirit will then possess one random player on the coach’s team, adding their listed skills/traits to those of the possessed player for the match.
If at any time the player is KO’d or becomes a casualty, even if they return to the game through use of an apothecary/regeneration etc., the spirit will depart taking their skills/traits with them.
Each deck also contains an extra card with one of the tournament mascots on it. If you draw this card put it to one side, then draw a character card and assign to a random player as normal.
If you initially drew the ‘Esmeralda’ mascot card, you may now use it to re-roll the random player that has been possessed, or draw a different character card. However, if you initially drew the ‘Diego’ mascot card, your opponent may use it to make you re-roll the random player that has been possessed or draw a different character card.
Where a possessed player already has one of the Bone Head, Really Stupid, Animal Savagery or Unchannelled Fury ‘nega-traits’, it will be replaced by the nega-trait bestowed by the spirit.
Coaches cannot have the same spirit possess a player more than once. If a coach draws a spirit they have had in a previous game, they should return it to the deck and draw another.
The Characters:
Reginald P. Hampton - The Spoiler
One time lineman for the Averheim Blackhawks, he was often referred to as the Sledgemeister. Reggie was a fairly average player if truth be told, but with an extra special talent for getting under the skin of others.
Nobody within earshot of Reggie on the pitch was safe from his scathing put downs, driving even the
most steadfast of opposition players to total distraction... unfortunately, he would frequently distract
himself too!
Skills/Traits gained:
» Defensive » Disturbing Presence » Hypnotic Gaze (4+)* » Bonehead
*all players possessed by Reggie are considered to be Ag 4+ for the purposes of Hypnotic Gaze.
Spoony Tosscobble - The Madman
Barred from nearly every watering hole in all the Shires, no one quite knows what drove Spoony to gain
his reputation as the angriest Halfling that ever lived. Whilst other members of his race are driven by a
love of good food and good beer, Spoony loved nothing more than a good, honest punch up… except
maybe a dishonest one! Pugnacious and single minded, once the fists were flying this fan favourite
absolutely would not back down.
Skills/Traits gained:
» Dauntless » Frenzy » Shadowing » Unchannelled Fury
Maximus Debonaire - The Tactician
The star kicker for the Cintelan Gladiators, Maximus was known for a razor sharp tactical mind and his
keen eye for a well placed kick. Unfortuately, whilst able to spot an opening in the flow of play that others
would often miss, Maximus did suffer from the aloof sense of superiority his high elf race is known for and
frequently thought he knew better than the teams coaching staff.
Skills/Traits gained:
» Leader* » Kick » Sidestep » Loner (3+) or (adds 1 to an existing Loner trait)
*always provides a Leader re-roll, even if the team already has another Leader player on the pitch.
K’rick Savage - The Dirty Git
K’rick was a skaven blitzer who played for the ill fated Trapbait Dodgers, an underworld denizen team who have long since passed into obscurity following a woefully unsuccessful and short lived existence. Whilst his team may be long gone, the reputation of K’rick lives on. Like Spoony Tosscobble, he was another fan favorite but for different reasons… K’rick was probably one of the dirtiest players in the history of the game! K’rick was a hateful rat, riven with pure spite and simply unable to resist putting in the boot whenever he could. A boot that was viciously effective.
Skills/Traits gained:
» Sneaky Git » Dirty Player » Pile Driver » Animal Savagery
Nobbi Stinkfinga - The Warp-Stoner
Nobbi was a goblin mercenary player who, unusually for his race, was popular with all manner of teams. An avid connoisseur of Mad Cap mushrooms, Nobbi had the prescient ability to know what was about to happen, wrong footing would be tacklers and taking down otherwise fleet footed, agile opponents with ease. Unfortunately, he was often vulnerable to becoming ‘spaced out’ by bright colours or rhythmic noise, whilst the rest of the time suffering an acute paranoia of every team-mate he hit the turf with.
Skills/Traits gained:
» Trickster » Diving Tackle » Bonehead » Animosity (all team-mates)
Benni Beedlefist - The Fan-Boy
Dwarf Runner for the Zhufbar Saints, Benni was the epitome of ‘Nice but Dim’. Growing up as the ultimate Blood Bowl fan he was obsessed and dreamed of nothing but playing on the gridiron himself. Unusually quick for his race and full of barely restrained energy Benni finally got his shot. He became a fan favorite for popping up everywhere, wrestling an opposition player to the floor and running away giggling with glee. However, he was unfortunately, and ironically, often confused by the frenetic pace of some games when there wasn’t a team-mate nearby to point him in the right direction.
Skills/Traits gained:
» Jump Up » Nerves of Steel » Wrestle » Really Stupid
