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

+1

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.

Not as fun as boffing someone on the nose with mighty blow. Oh well, what's done is done.
