Leap would be cool. |

I'll play a couple of games and see if it works or not, i'll post back and see after all if JF is right or has to change his forum signature... |

That is an amusing player. I guess you do play against quite a lot of elves and some gobbos so maybe some of them pass it around a bit. |

I was going to say leap to synergize with pass block before I realized she's not a blitzer and pB was the 6th skill. Rubbish decision, but fun. =D |

The ONLY time Pass Block is worth anything is in an environment where you know you'll be facing a LOT of pass (an all-Elf league, or serious cherry-picking, etc.), and then only on a Player who already has Catch and a decent Ag (min 4), AND probably Dodge so they can get where they're going.
Even then, it's pretty marginal as to whether a diff skill would not be a LOT better, and that's the real measure you have to consider.
I've had PB work once - and that was provided by Eldril Sidewinder, who I did NOT choose because he had PB.
Really. |

But if you'd taken it more often, it might've worked more often (just to play devil's advocate)... |

Pass block is a good fun skill and can be a game changer in stretched games. Don't listen to the naysayers. Whilst it may not be the ideal synergy with the other skills, it'll be fun while it lasts. |
