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 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
(It's league) |
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 |

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."
