ST7 Troll: Worth it?
Revolucion Permanente lost its last game against Nestoroide´s Burrikin Rats by 4-1. Still, I am glad I managed to score at least 1 TD via TTM and seriously injury two skavens.

Here comes my question to you, bloodthisrty memebers of the fumbbl gang: The team´s Troll Star Lumpenproletariat got a ST increase on his first skill roll a few games back (along with an ageing nig) and, yesterday, after maiming two skaven linemen, rolled a 12 on his second skill roll

I know the obvious choice would be to get him Block, but I am tempted of getting +ST just for the fun of fielding a ST7 Troll. Besides, It will be easier to roll a double in the future than to roll 12 again, right?

I am also not sure what I should do about the fact that he is niggled so soon in his career...

What are your thoughts?

It is a league team so no problem taking the fun choice. :)

St7 would be fun, but statistically a 2D with block will cause less turnovers then a 3d without. And you can usually manage one assist for a 3d regardless :)With 7 skills total he has 5 more chances to roll doubles... somewhere around a 60% chance if he survives to legend. So it's really your call, but right now block is definitely a better choice while long run Str7 might be better. Though you could definitely argue that a second doubles skill on a troll could be more useful than Str7.

If you don't take the ST Nuffle will not grant you any more for a loooong time.
Posted by Jasfmpgh on 2010-07-27 11:07:56
Take the +str, its too cool to pass up.
Posted by Sweet-Zombie-Jesus on 2010-07-27 11:33:03
Sir, if you do not take this Strength your Troll will die Immediately. Do you really want Troll blood on your hands? 'Cause I hear they regenerate.

ST 7 trolls for presidents!

+ST+ST+WIN
Posted by DonTomaso on 2010-07-27 13:19:46
Also, isn't it cool to have a Troll that can SINGELHANDEDLY pound a tree into the ground?
Posted by Nestoroide on 2010-07-27 13:47:47
+ ST FTW!!! :D
Posted by PeteW on 2010-07-27 14:26:23
retire the niggler
Posted by Zombie69 on 2010-07-27 14:27:41
Of course it's worth it, and is 10 times better than block. Now stop bragging.
Posted by WhatBall on 2010-07-27 15:20:12
Take the +ST and hope the teams are converted to FFB so the niggle becomes negligible. How could you ever pass up on ST7?
Posted by SeraphimRed on 2010-07-27 17:11:25
I want a ST7 league player. :(
Posted by Balle2000 on 2010-07-27 17:34:01
love the logo!

(remember that Nuffle punishes all who does not pick +ST)
Posted by Ravenmore on 2010-07-27 18:09:27
+ST +ST, DO IT! I know you want to :)
Posted by Cavetroll on 2010-07-27 20:09:22
You should retire him cause he's going to miss 1 game in 6 and having him increases your TR which could give handicaps to your opponent. But take the +ST before retiring him so you can keep bragging.
Posted by Timlagor on 2010-07-28 01:07:47
The obvious answer is certainly to retire him.
I would take the ST -if you were going to take Block then the time to take it was on the first one.
Posted by KJG on 2010-07-28 20:10:54
Take st7, then retire him, as soon as you can afford a new troll and have no other pressing costs. But if you decide to keep him, block would be a better more pragmatic choice, although it will almost certainly jinx him (and likely you as well).
Posted by MrFoxTalbot on 2010-07-28 21:34:12
I finally went for +ST
Thanks for the comments!
