Keep up the good work

If Pro did work like that though I’d take it a lot more often!

It’s also the only way a player can have a chance to re-roll a failed roll twice, which can make a big difference at critical moments, especially for an average Agility player. Also, if the player has to make two or more rolls in order to score a touchdown, the “Pro” skill provides for more insurance (For example, if the player needs to Dodge and Go For It in order to score).

Obviously the “Pro” skill’s value will be determined by how much it comes into play, so it probably is only worth using for a player that will be used often and will have to make critical rolls, which is why I think it is worthwhile on a Blitzer that serves as a Running Back.

It is easy to start an Orc team with three rerolls and you can save up for more fairly easily. Their general game plan doesn’t involve much in the way of risky stuff on offence, especially when you get some more Block on the team. Any roll you make with the player holding the ball is a double risk if a turnover occurs. Not only does your turn end, but you are likely to lose possession of the ball, making things much easier for the other team. That 50% failure rate of Pro then starts to look a lot worse…

I used to play Blood Bowl, and am currently playing the Xbox version. My Blood Bowl expertise is very limited, but I’ve always preferred to use my Orc Blitzers to score, either extracting the ball from the opponent, or having an Orc Thrower pass or hand off the ball to them. Granted, the passing game with Orcs is always a nail-biting experience, but with their tough line, they can more often afford to make a ball handling mistake than many other teams (assuming they have knocked down enough opposing players).

I figure that Blitzers have a movement of 6 for a reason, just as Throwers have the “Pass” skill for a reason, and the two players can be used in conjunction in order to make quick touchdowns (Or, what I like to call the Orculate Reception). In any case, I would suggest that the “Pro” skill would be invaluable to any ball-carrying Blitzer. Granted, it only works 50% of the time, but if the player is one that is used often, its value will shine through. Furthermore, it can kick in at critical times, such as picking up the ball, catching the ball, dodging, or going for it. In addition, it can be stacked with the regular team re-roll, potentially allowing two re-roll opportunities. I would even suggest that “Pro” should be the first skill taken for Orc Blitzers destined to be ball carryers, as it will have a bigger impact when the team has fewer re-rolls.
