If I didn't know better I would think GW found a way to patent the D16 and D12...

I'll be honest- I've been playing games like this, and a lot of dnd, for 20 years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of a d16.

The level up sounds confusing, but I'm sure we'll sort it out. I'm excited to see what changes they make, and I hope (and I suspect they will) release the rest of the teams.

@Clay yea it's a random D16, see my post on page 18
It's notably very easy to get MV or AV, much easier than anything else
But you can't take MV over 9, so that limits the fun* / value somewhat

I just whipped out my 40k 2nd edition book, and I see d3, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20, but no d16 lol.

D16 is not a classic RPG dice, that's probably the reason it is not known.
Not in D&D at least.
Well there is even a D100 dice made by a sphere with 100 sides on it (not just a D100 made by rolling 2 D10).

Ah, there's no mention of Wants To Retire...

But when redrafting, players get +20k more expensive for each previous season they've played in (!)

It's described as Agent Fees

OMG, fumblerooskie counts just as a move action, so you could drop the ball in the floor several times in a turn. Who needs passing!

I swear to Nuffle, if you see dN, the only limits on its existence are your imagination and fabrication of such a dice with that many faces.

You could stretch the whole field in one turn it seems. And because you choose the square, you are extending the MA of every player by 1 by dropping it ahead of you.

Elf & Skaven dream skill? Your opponent has marked your player with 2 tacklers, making a hand off or reception tricky. No problem, run up, place the ball near them and let them do a 2+ dodge and 2+ pickup instead of a 4+ catch.

I think Fumblerooskie will be interesting. May see a few people picking it up. I think the same about Safe Pair of Hands. Need to see how it plays out, but that one is great for caging teams and a nightmare for teams looking to pop the ball out.

Broke AF. No way this isn’t limited to one per turn.

New skill's like this are gonna get the coaching brains going and that's great.

I got an idea for a new skill; maybe christer can house rule it here?

a player with this skill adds +1 for each unit of alcohol in his coaches bloodstream, up to a maximum of 20 (50 for billbrasky) when rolling his D67 on the Kicking Off table

At least Fumbblrooskie is a passing skill. That means players with access to passing skills as secondary skills must accumulate at least 12 spp to get it. 12 if first skill. 14 for a second skill choice. 18 for third. 22 for fourth. 26 for 5th and 40 for sixth.

This skill chart is a huge change. Players will be skilling much more quickly.

I am somewhat confused about redrafting. Does the extra 20k per season just count for buying the player back or is it included in the final team value as well?

Here on Fumbbl it wont be an issue with the site controlling it, but surely having different costs for skills & different rates of SPP are going to be complicated for tabletop players to keep a track of, perhaps even susceptible to cheating.

It's really not broken. I don't think people are gonna spend their tv on this situational skill. It's not good value for tv for most teams.

I think it'll get some use. A tier2 skill imo
