King BBQ
Backstory
Little King was born into the BBQ family from his halfling dad, Mr. BBQ and his ogre mom, Brunhilda BBQ in the year 2473, the year of Nuffle. Proud parents though they were, they noticed King's appetite was difficult, nay impossible to quench. It wasn't until little King saw his first game of Blood Bowl that his appetite was truly satiated for the first time.
Since then, Mr. BBQ and Brunhilda did all they could to support their growing boy and his growing interest in Blood Bowl. Despite being a rather large halfling, King stayed active in his local Blood Bowl League oftentimes lining up alongside various treemen and ogres over the years. This part of his life all came crashing down when, in a single game, he inadvertently ate nearly half his team! Although Brunhilda felt proud of her boy, she agreed with Mr. BBQ that he was ready for something much more.
That's when, in the year 2477, Mr. BBQ and Brunhilda funded their son to start his own league. And thus, KCBBL was born. The early years of KCBBL were jovial and quaint, with various players/coaches coming and going as life does. King found his place as both mascot and spokesperson for the KCBBL. Oftentimes speaking in-between bites of his favorite meal: barbecued goblin haunches.
But King knew that no amount of glistening goblin gams could satisfy his hunger quite like playing on the gridiron all those years ago. So, with a heavy heart and an even heavier stomach, King BBQ takes a half-ogre-sized leap onto the Star Players list!
That's right! King BBQ himself has chomped his way past his artery-clogged heart into KCBBL as a Star Player rosterable by All teams!

Special Rules
Meal on the Run: Once per game, if King BBQ has one or more players in his tackle zone, King BBQ may use this special ability during his activation after either failing a skill roll or suffering a "Player Down!" result on a block. Randomly select a player within King BBQ's tackle zone. The selected player is immediately placed prone and suffers an armor/injury roll from King BBQ as if he had the Mighty Blow (+1) skill. If the selected player suffers a Casualty result of DEAD, then King BBQ loses the "Always Hungry" trait for the rest of this match as that player has been gobbled up! King BBQ may then re-roll his initial dice pool.
King BBQ FAQ
Q: Can King BBQ randomly target his own teammates if they’re in his tackle zone when using his special rule?
A: Yes!
Q: When failing a Dodge roll or a Rush roll and using King BBQ’s special rule, which position is used to determine the players in King BBQ’s tackle zone? The space he was previously in? Or the space that he was attempting to Dodge or Rush to?
A: The space he was Dodging or Rushing to is used for King BBQ’s tackle zone when using this special rule.
Q: When failing a Dodge roll and using King BBQ’s special rule, if an opposing player gets placed prone do we recalculate the needed roll to make a successful dodge?
A: No. You reroll the original dice pool when using King BBQ’s special rule. You do not recalculate the needed roll to make a successful dodge.
Q: If the result of a Block roll is “Player Down!” and King BBQ uses his special rule and ends up randomly placing the same player prone that was the original target of the Block, does he still reroll the original Block?
A: No. If the target of the original Block gets placed prone as a result of this special rule then King BBQ’s activation ends immediately.
Q: If the result of a Block roll is “Player Down!” and King BBQ uses his special rule and ends up randomly placing prone a player that was assisting with the original Block, do we recalculate how many Block dice to roll when rerolling the Block?
A: No. You reroll the original dice pool when using King BBQ’s special rule. You do not recalculate assists. |
