I consider myself quite experienced with humans, but this requires some help.

This guy didn't age at 76spps, and had a normal skill roll.

He's got Block, Dodge, Catch, +AG, Side Step and Dauntless.

I will list the options I find tasty for some reason.
Which way, now?

Thanks for your help!

That's a tough one. I was thinking Surehands to prevent stripball. With ST2 that's still not a safe bet though. I feel shadowing is for higher ST players. Leap is a no-no with AG4. Pass block is interesting, if only for the strategic consequences (forces the opponent to play a little diferently). Diving tackle maybe? Wished I had the luxury of a 76spp player on my humans Wink

I voted leap - with dauntless he can be a cage breaker. And with sidestep if he gets hit he can try and get out of fouling territory.

Humans dont have any other cage breakers.

With strip ball, he makes for a dandy deep safety, and agi 4 to pick the ball up and dodge away after.

I like Passblock personally - since he's likely to be in the opposing half anyway...

Strip or tackle and then leap to use him as a ballreciever.

Leap is always amusing

Strip Ball to go hunting ball carriers. Also you don't have any on the team so its handy.

in my oppinion all human teams with catchers should have dt, great for defense and with blodge and sidestep it can just be a pain for teams that lack some tackle...

But now that he got dauntless stripball or tackle wouldnt be bad + leap for that cagebusting...

In the end I took Pass Block. It'll be annoying on defence, but mostly I never really tried it with an AG4 dodger. With ag3 passblock sucks, but maybe my catcher's improved mobility will make him a valuable asset to the team.

I didn't choose tackle because I have a uber-blitzer who always does the defensive job (quite well), and with two more blitzers ready to skill up (4 and 15 spps) I plan to get more tackles soon.

Strip ball was a second one... but I am not a big fan of that skill.

Thanks all for your support.
