Ban This Race
As I approach my second year here on Fumbbl, I feel it is my duty to petition for the permanent removal of the most powerful race to enter the pitch using the fourth edition of the Living Rulebook. A race such as this, with the most potent combination of Stats, Skills, and Positional Players must no longer be permitted to tyrannize the valorous sport of Blood Bowl. It's time that we as Fumbblers do everything in our power to put a stop to the nefarious Halflings.

Their stats and skills are completely unbalanced with relation to the rest of the Blood Bowl races. Their movement of 5, while not being the fastest, is uniform. This prevents them from becoming separated from one another, a constant fear teams such as the Skaven. While their Strength may not seem formidable. However, in combination with Ag3, Dodge, and Stunty, Halflings are able to place there tackle zones anywhere on the pitch, effectively neutralizing the strength of their opponents. Even their Armor Value is overpowered. It may be the lowest of all LRB4 races, but there comes a point at which the benefit of more armor is offset by the price. The Halflings take advantage of this to provide the cheapest possible players for optimum armor.

If that weren't bad enough, they have access to not one but two of the strongest Big Guys ever to grace the Blood Bowl pitch. It's mind-boggling trying to understand why players that are able to move their tackle zones at will require the aid of Strength 6 trees with the capability of catapulting them anywhere their cheap little hearts desire.

To top it off, Halflings are able to steal opposing Rerolls with no direct consequences. Who knows how many days those poor little teams had to go without food or water in order to afford such invaluable commodities. It is appalling to think about what Halflings are able to get away with on a daily basis. Therefore, I hope you will all join me in saying NO TO NASTY HOBBITSESS.

At first I was hoping you were talking about Spaniards.

Then I remembered they weren't a race........... or even human.

my god sir..you are a genius...

anyone who votes anything less than a 6 for this entry, is obviously a halfling sympathizer, and should be burned at the stake...

Time to start an HMU? Hobbit Mangling Union?

Great post!

A great post. But you forgot to mention that for all the money they are saving on their cost-effective foot soldiers, they can practically afford to hire Deeproot every game. Or at least every other game. That's 3 Treemen roughly every other time they go out! 3 Treemen on the LOS, at least 1 of which has Block! This abuse of the LRB 4 rules must stop!

Truly the chosen race of cherrypickers everywhere!

Hahaha very funny. Halflings are fun both sides of the coaching divide just get yourself a Blackle + M Blow Blitzer and squish...who cares about winning the game.

I thought we Spaniards were banned already. That's why I created my second account coming from Germany...

just did a quick check and already 10% of the top ten teams(TR/TS) on ranked play are halfings - doesn't appear that the invasion has spread to blackbox yet but be warned.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that they are the worst race to meet with Lizards...

Try to coach some halflings dude, just try!

And when they grow up, they turn into... dwarves.

Let the slaughter begin!
