The Gritty Goblin Special Inducements!
As this tournament is being played at The Gritty Goblin Games, there are plenty of goblins in the stands and they have all brought their secret weapons, itching for an opportunity to use them on the pitch! This is represented by the special “roving goblin wizards” that are also ubiquitous at this event and eager to join in the fun! While not versed in the ‘traditional magics and the corresponding fireballs or lightning bolts, these wizards are nevertheless devotees of Gork (...or maybe it was Mork?) and more than capable of calling on their god’s prodigious powers. Every team will have one roving goblin wizard. Once per half as the very last action of a player’s turn the player controlling the goblin wizard can choose to turn a player on the pitch into a goblin. The targeted coach assigns numbers to each player on the pitch and randomly determines one to be turned into a goblin. The goblin wizard then transforms one of the players to a random goblin from the crowd, rolling a d6 and consult the following table to see what kind of goblin fan they’ve been gifted:
Goblin Wizard Special Inducement:
Dice Roll
Special Weapon
1
Fanatic (ball and chain)
2
Looney (chainsaw)
3
Booma (Bombardier)
4
Pogoer (Pogo Sick)
5
‘Ooligan (Dirty Player, disturbing Presence)
6
Goblin Lineman
The stats for these players can be found on page 114 of the Blood Bowl 2020 rule book and are found in the appendix at the end of these rules.
If the player is turned into a goblin with the ‘no hands’ ability and has the ball, the ball immediately is dropped and will bounce from the ball carrier’s space. If that player suffers a casualty or is knocked out, they are placed in reserves and available for the next drive in their original form (they climb out of the stands and back into the dugout, kicking and punching goblins as they go). If the player does not suffer a casualty or is knocked out, they are returned to their original form at the start of the next drive (again, the original player forcing their way back onto the field, and kicking the gobbo imposter off!).
The Gritty Goblin Special Scoring!
Now, while every goblin fan loves a good injury causing secret weapon, we all know their second love is fouling! And, the fans at this tournament are looking for every boot to the face and kick in the junk they can find, along with all the damage done by their goblin brethren. Therefore, a separate tally of successful fouling and injuries caused by any and all goblins will be kept in order to award the Goblin Cup Champion. These Goblin Points may be earned in the following ways and STACK where appropriate. While any team may play in this competition and take advantage of the ‘Goblin from the Crowd’ inducement, teams that include goblins (Orc, Black Orc, Chaos Renegades, Goblin or Underworld Denizens) will have an advantage as these teams will have multiple goblins that could potentially contribute to this special scoring:
+1 Point for every TD scored via a Goblin
+1 Point for every successful foul (armor break) committed via a Goblin, when he is not caught by the refs
+1 Point for every successful bribe
+1 Point for every casualty (beyond KO) caused via a Goblin (including crowd surfs)
The Coach with the most Goblin Points at the end of the tournament will receive the Goblin Cup (Tie breakers will be settled using total TD for, then TD differential.
Example 1
Goblin fouls an ogre, breaking armor and causing a casualty. This grants 2 (two) Goblin Points: 1 (one) point for a successful foul of a model that removes them from the pitch and 1 (one) point for causing a casualty by your goblin.
Example 2
Goblin fouls a player, removes that model via KO but I rolled doubles and failed the “argue the call” results in 0 (zero) points (you got caught).
Example 3
Goblin as the ball carrier blitzes another player in the endzone, pushing them into the crowd which causes a casualty and then proceeds to move into the endzone scoring a touchdown. This grants 2 (two) Goblin Points: 1 (one) point for a successful casualty from the crowd and 1 (one) point for scoring a touchdown. |
