retire the rest of those freaks while you're at it.
And Brian.... don't retire Brian... I need him on the field next time we meet. I'm going to put 150k in to induce a wizard and lightning bolt his malformed bottom.

Oh... yeah, on-topic: Pass Block! That or Sidestep or Pro (but Pro doesn't fit with the theme since they're a bunch of amateurs!).

Pro or Leap,

Pro for all the reasons above...

Leap because a leap on 3+ with Block Tackle and St5 means you can crush almost any ball carrier from almost any defensive position.

Oh you have a nice cage there, let me mark the one non guard you have on the edge with a thrall, leap, and green block the ball. Then my other awesome vamps will just come take that from you. Thanks for playing...


Oh shush!!! It's bad enough already! *goes to a corner and cries*

Lol, you're funny Very Happy

I dunno Roland, I think fox should retire him too. Maybe clear a few of the others out while he's at it... *whistle*

edit: It took me so long to read the thread that Badoek beat me to it Smile

It only makes sense we came to the same conclusion. Even outsiders (Grod) agree.

I voted for pro, but I can see the case for SS. Other picks seem to have a little less value.

I recently played against a vampire team with 6 pro. It is GOOD. If I ever build up vamps again, I will spam pro as 3rd/4th skill like there is no tomorrow. (Would be nice as legend on McBitey too with jumpup, but he will get piling on, I guess)

Stand firm is a rubbish pick, but if not pro, I'd also consider frenzy. ST5 AG4 makes for a hell of a surfer (especially when you can gaze off people who would normally block your line of approach).

It's funny how vamps have great stats and great skill access, yet STILL do very well with stat rolls. This post got me thinking about an 'ideal' vamp team.

Scorer: MA MA blodge sure hands pro
Basher: block mb po tackle jumpup pro
Surfer:blodge frenzy jugger sidestep pro
LoS/Sacker: ST wrestle dodge tackle guard pro
LoS/Support: ST blodge guard sidestep pro
LoS/Gazer: ST AG blodge guard pro

And then of course 14-16 players total inc a thrall with kick and one or two with dp.

I hope you realise that regardless of what you pick I am going to change it to bonehead.

I didn't forget though; I just had some tradeoffs to make. Vamps don't really need a leaping cage breaker imo. Gaze + ST5 wrackle would do the job. (I'm not a big fan of strip ball at high TV)

If I would go for 3x wrestle, fend thralls and no LoS-vamps, I would certainly include a cagebusting vamp (though he'd ideally be ST AG wrackle leap pro). However, with 3 ST5 guard LoS vamps, as well as a dedicated basher, surfer and baller, you need the LoS guys to be multitools.

I guess, but it's not obvious due to the house rules:
"When re-rolling AV or Injury with Piling On modifiers like Claw and Mighty Blow cannot be used."
