I just rolled double 6 on the deathroller (as his first skill).
As tempting as strength 8 is... I do tend more to take block.
But well... commence discussion. That's why I opened this thread. |

| You are, of course, right. Deep down I already knew it. But somewhere in me there was this small boy shouting "it's freaking strength 8!!!" |

| Str 8!!! You have 3 dice against anyone. Most opponents will need something like 4 assists to even think about getting 2 dice against you. Take Block as your second skill. The wait for skill two is not very long. Do not wait till Skill 3 though. |

Block is better, strength more fun. 3 dice blocks against S4 with only one assist 
S8 makes no difference to break tackle - its capped at 6. |

The agility chart tops out at 6+ (1+ roll needed)...so having str 8 with break tackle is no better than str 7 with break tackle (or str 6 with break tackle for that matter) |

Str 8, you would be 3db vs...str 3 and less players..just like str 7
You'd need a str 9 to have more than double the str of str 4 players..and you aren't getting 3db without assists against str 5+ players at all.
Block is the choice..str 7 just doesn't make sense to take at all. It's easy to get 2 assists if you want a 3db vs str 4 (especially with dwarves) |

ST is much more fun in a league. You only need one assist to get a 3-dice block on a ST4 player. Or your opponent can have one assist, and you still get a 3-dice block on a ST3 player.
Plus it enables you to dream of the miracle - another +1ST. Imagine that - a ST9 Deathroller - now that would be worth it! |

Deathroller doesn't have G access, so might be waiting for ever for Block. |

I'd take frenzy. Dodge in with break tackle and frenzy out, juggenaut makes up for the lack of block in a blitz and lets you carry on your frenzy  |

| dodge actually is a good 2nd choice behind block. You have break tackle, so lets you RR that dodge when you roll a 1...also, makes him a little harder to take down--you have to use your tackle guy(s) on him.. |
