5th skill for a fun little beastie I've got going. Sadly nothing more interesting than a normal skill roll. However I believe that poses the biggest conundrum. A double would have been dodge, a 10 +MA, and a 12...well, let's just be happy I didn't get a 12.

So what helps complete his set? I want to go with FA, but feel like I might be missing something obvious. Fend? Big Hand or is that over specialization?

Any help is appreciated, even Jimmy's.

I would go for Big Hand, but you should consider Big Foot as a good option too! Very Happy

Two heads or Guard. Although tackle makes him great on the defensive side.

Strip ball + horns + ag5 + (two heads or leap later) makes a player capable of punishing loose cages, which is usually hard for chaos.

I don't think strip ball and sure hands play nice together without high MA though. If he gets in to knock the ball out he is not going to want to pick it up because it's unlike he'll be able to get any safe distance away. Usually your AG teams have a ball stripper and a ball fetcher in different defensive players.

Two heads is a good choice as it's basically +AG+AG+AG for dodging and that's awesome.

Tackle, Two Heads, and maybe Fend are good. FA isn't. Tackle would help with those flings that gave you so much trouble...

Also, fire the -MA beast with Guard and next time take Block first.

Lots of good options.
Fend is good if you let him take hits OR if you are trying to spam Fend.
Guard is good... stick an assist anywhere. Can you ever have enough Guard?
Tackle is good. You probably try to keep him in the back. So making him a Sweeper type on Defense and Carrier on Offense is good.
2 Heads is good. Make him a Sacker and Carrier. Dodge away from opponents as if he has AG6.
Strip Ball is good. AG5 has a reasonable chance to get anywhere to hit anyone.
Big Hand is nice. Pick up in multiple Tackle Zones and Dodge away.
Foul Appearance is not as good as it seems like it will be. They still hit you 5 of every 6 times. They will Reroll if FA comes into play and then hit you anyway.

Don't waste a Double on Leap at this point. Dodge is more useful. And AG5 with Dodge and maybe 2 Heads later on can get him almost anywhere Leap can with less chance of SPLAT.
You almost can't go wrong with any of those.

Looking at your team I think you are going to get the most use out of Tackle. Beware of Elves with him if he gets Tackle. Elves always try to kill the players with Tackle if they get a shot.
OR Fend if you think you will face lots of Piling On, POMB and CLPOMB.

Ah it's a normal skill, cryptic text so early for me Smile
At some point i like having tackle on my BC when moving down the field and you neeed to be possitivish that you succed the blitz with him or someone sticks that Blodge, SS, DT dude on you. So i go tackle and hope for some nice legend skill. My 2 cents. I take 2heads on an ag3 pestigor but on a ag5, do you need that often?

He rolled normals. I'd say either 2 heads, or tackle. If you go tackle, then legend doubles should be leap; normals 2 heads. If you go 2 heads now, then tackle for legend.

Although frenzy (& 2 heads, leap or juggernaut) would also make him a very scary surfer.
