For a more tac-ti-cul version the fouler have to start his move at least 3 squares away from his target. :P

Brasky is the first person I saw that did the foul run up. I try to do it every time, because it is hilarious.

The ones I like best are when a massive and obvious gang foul is set up and then a player already stood by the victim's tackle zone backs up a few squares (like he is taking a free kick)then runs in and boots 'em!

I once ran my MA 6 dirty player 3 squares backwards for the run up foul, then I realised he had been prone! :O

If you run up you may have more momentum in the kick but it would look a bit more obvious so you'd be more likely to get sent off.

I suppose a leap would be similar.

+2 armor roll if you leap into the TZ to make the foul!

Posted by NerdBird on 2014-07-11 16:33:14

But your player is placed prone.

A Leaping On Dirty Player foul!
Aaaaaah yeah!!!

I always do a run up foul, learned it from the BB god Studman!
Aaaaaah Yeahhhhh!!!

I love the flying pile-on foul idea (+2 armour) but you should need leap, pile-on and dirty player to do it.

Sometimes the stutter step is called for.

Forward, backward, fake, forward, backward, fake, forward, backward, FOUL!

I only ever foul when I've got enough movement to do the konami code.

Posted by keggiemckill on 2014-07-11 19:54:21

Does anyone know who started it?

Posted by Badoek on 2014-07-11 20:15:46

@overhamsteren: lol, would have been better if you could have made it with 2 GFI and then fail into RIP :)

Fouls should get +1 to the AV/Injury roll per turn remaining. That would discourage to t16 foul.

Posted by Cavetroll on 2014-07-12 00:29:55

Would it really, Kam? Or was that tongue-in-cheek humor?

@m0gw41: eddie guerrero's frog splash? :D

Posted by Kam on 2014-07-12 04:10:18

@ Cavetroll: there would be no player left by t16, so yes, it definitely would.

Posted by Jeffro on 2014-07-12 04:18:30

+1

Didn't 2nd edition have "spearing" where it was, in effect, Piling On but for fouls?!!? Could've sworn that was a rule somewhere... bring THAT shit back...

Posted by Bobs on 2014-07-12 06:43:27

Dirty Kick, dirty tackle, Mighty Blow level 4, reroll's to armour and injury
unlimited rr's per turn, spies assassins,and the most important of all,first to 2 wins.
Bloodbowl is sooooooo much softer now than it used to be.
Good old 2nd Ed rules.

I started doing the run-up foul after being inspired by "TheSpoonyBard" leaping dp fouling troll, back in LRB 4.

Since then, I figure a good foul requires a running start.
