Catch
Agility
This player may reroll a failed Agility test when attempting to catch the ball.

Q: Can the Catch skill be used when attempting to catch a Bomb? (p.75)

Jump Up
Agility
If this player is Prone they may stand up for free (i.e. standing up does not cost this player three (3) squares of their Movement Allowance, as it normally would). Additionally, if this player is Prone when activated, they may attempt to Jump Up and perform a Block action.

Leap
Agility

Additionally, this player may reduce any negative modifier applied to the Agility test when they attempt to Jump over a Prone or Stunned player, or to Leap over an empty square or a square occupied by a standing player by 1, to a minimum of +1. A player with this skill cannot also have the Pogo Stick trait.

Q: If a player with the Leap skill or Pogo Stick trait has used all of their Movement Allowance and is attempting to use the Leap skill or Pogo Stick trait to jump over a square, what happens if they fail the Rush roll? (p.75 & 85)
A: If the Rush fails, then the player will fall over in the square they have moved into, do not roll the Agility test for the jumping player.

If the total is higher than the target's strength characteristic, this player increases their strength characteristic to be equal to that of the target of the Block action, before counting offensive or defensive assists, for the duration of this Block action. If this player has another Skill that allows them to perform more than one Block action, such as Frenzy, they must make a Dauntless roll before each separate Block action is performed.

Q: When a player with the Dauntless skill declares a Block action, can they choose to not perform the Block action if they do not roll the desired result for the Dauntless skill? (p.76)

Frenzy*
General
Every time this player performs a Block action (on its own or as part of a Blitz action), they must follow-up if the target is pushed back and if they are able. If the target is still Standing after being pushed back, and if this player was able to follow-up, this player must then perform a second block action against the same target, again following-up if the target is pushed back. If this player performing a Blitz action, performing a second Block action will also cost them one square of their Movement Allowance. If this player has no Movement Allowance left to perform a second Block action, they must Rush to do so. If they cannot Rush, they cannot perform a second Block action. Note that if an opposition player in possession of the ball is pushed back into your End Zone and is still standing, a touchdown will be scored, ending the drive. In this case, the second Block action is not performed. A player with this skill cannot also have Grab skill.

Q: If a player with the Frenzy skill performs a Block action against a Rooted player and rolls a Push Back, does the player with Frenzy still get to perform a second Block even though the Rooted player cannot be pushed back? (p.77 & 87)

Passing

The Leader Re-roll can be carried over into extra time if it is not used, but the team does not receive a new one at the start of extra time. Unlike standard Team Re-rolls, the Leader Re-roll cannot be lost due to a Halfling Master Chef. Otherwise, the Leader re-roll is treated just like a normal team re-roll.

Q: If a player with the Leader re-roll is removed from the pitch before their Leader re-roll has been used, then the re-roll would be lost. If the player would subsequently return to the pitch (such as recovering from being KO’d), is the re-roll available again? (p.79)

Making this move interrupts the activation of the opposition player performing the Pass action. A player may use this Skill when an opposition player uses the Dump-Off skill, but should this player Fail Over whilst moving, a Turnover is caused. Additionally, during each Start of Drive sequence, after Step 2 but before Step 3, one Open player with this Skill on the receiving team may move up to three squares (regardless of their MA). This Skill may not be used if a touchback is caused when the kick deviates and does not allow the player to cross into their opponent's half of the pitch.

Q: Can multiple players from the same team use the On The Ball skill in response to the same Pass action? If so, what happens if one of them Falls Over before the others have been able to use the On The Ball skill? (p.79)

Strength
When this player performs a Block action on its own (but not as part of a Blitz Action), this player may re-roll a single Both Down result.

This modifier may be applied after the roll has been made. This Skill cannot be used with the Stab or Chainsaw traits.

Q: If a player with the Mighty Blow ( +X) skill makes a Block action, and chooses the Both Down result and is Knocked Down themselves, can they still apply the effects of Mighty Blow (+X)? (p.57 & 80)

Multiple Block
Strength
When this player performs a Block action on its own (but not as part of a Blitz action), they may choose to perform two Block actions, each targeting a different player they are Marking. However, doing so will reduce this player's Strength characteristic by 2 for the duration of this activation. Both Block actions are performed simultaneously, meaning both are resolved in full even if one or both result is a Turnover. The dice rolls for each Block action should be kept separate to avoid confusion. This player cannot follow-up when using this Skill. Note that choosing to use this Skill means this player will be unable to use the Frenzy skill during the same activation.

Q: If a player with Multiple Block also has the Grab skill, can they place the second opposition player that they Blocked into the square that was initially occupied by the first opposition player that they Blocked? (p.80)

To use this Skill, this player must be Standing after the block dice result has been selected and applied, and must occupy a square adjacent to the Knocked Down player, After using this Skill, this player is Placed Prone and their activation ends immediately.

Q: Does the free Foul action from Pile Driver happen before or after making the Armour roll (and potentially an Injury roll) for the player being Knocked Down? (p.80)
A: After – so long as the player is still on the pitch of course!

Q: The Pile Driver skill states that the player performing the Block action may then perform a ‘free’ Foul action against the Knocked Down player. Does this ‘free’ Foul action mean that it does not count towards the team’s one Foul action per turn, or does it mean that the player can perform this action for free? (p.80)
A: This means that the player may perform this action for free. This Skill cannot be used if the team has already used their Foul action for that team turn, and if used will mean that another player cannot also make a Foul action during the same team turn.

Animal Savagery*
Traits
When this player is activated, even if they are Prone or have lost their Tackle Zone, immediately after declaring the action they will perform but before peforming the action, roll a D6, applying a +2 modifier to the dice roll if you declared the player would perform a Block or Blitz action (or a Special action granted by a Skill or Trait that can be performed instead of a Block action):
  1. On a Roll of 1-3, this player lashes out at their team-mates:
    1. One Standing team-mate of your choice that is currently adjacent to this player is immediately Knocked Down by this player. This does not cause a Turnover unless the Knocked Down player was in possession of the ball. After making an armour roll (and possible Injury roll) against the Knocked Down player, this player may continue their activation and complete their declared action if able, Note that, if this player has any applicable Skills, the coach of the opposing team may use them when making an Armour roll (and possible Injury roll) against the Knocked Down player.
    2. If this player is not currently adjacent to any Standing team-mates, this player's activation ends immediately. Additionally, this player loses their Tackle Zone until they are next activated.
  2. On a roll of 4+, this player continues their activation as normal and completes their declared action.
If you declared that this player would perform an action which can only be performed once per team turn and this player's activation ended before the action could be completed, the action is considered to have been performed and no other player on your team may perform the same action this team turn.

Q: If a player with Animal Savagery knocks down a friendly model, are they forced to use Claws, Piledriver, Mighty Blow (X+) (or any other Skills that would affect Armour or Injury rolls), or can they choose not to? (p.81)
A: The only Skills the opposing coach may choose for the player with Animal Savagery to use are Claws and Mighty Blow (+X). In this case, treat the Knock Down as being the result of a Block action.

Q: If a player with Animal Savagery knocks down a teammate that hasn’t yet activated during that team turn, can the Knocked Down player still activate provided they haven’t been Stunned or removed from the pitch? (p.81)
A: Yes.

Q: Will a Prone player that fails its roll for Animal Savagery still lash out against a team-mate?
A: Yes.

Q: If, during a Blitz kick-off event, a player with the Animal Savagery trait knocks down a player on their team as part of the Animal Savagery trait, will that cause the Blitz kick-off event to immediately end? (p.41 & p.81)
A: No.

Animosity (X)*
Traits
This player is jealous of and dislikes certain other players of their team, as shown in brackets after the name of the Skill on this player's profile. This may be defined by position or race. For example, a Skaven Thrower on an Underworld Denizens team has Animosity (Underworld Goblin Lineman), meaning they suffer Animosity towards any Underworld Goblin Lineman players on their team, Whereas a Skaven Renegade on a Chaos Renegade team has Animosity (all team-mates), meaning they suffer Animosity towards all of their team-mates equally. When this player wishes to perform a Hand-off action to a team-mate of the type listed, or attempts to perform a Pass action and the target square is occupied by a team-mate of the type listed, this player may refuse to do so. Roll a D6. On a roll of 1, this player refuses to perform the action and their activation comes to an end. Animosity does not extend to Mercenaries or Star Players.

Q: Does a player with the Animosity (X) trait make the roll to see whether they can perform a Pass action or Hand-off action to the relevant player at the start of their activation or just before attempting the desired action? (p.81)
A: Animosity (X) states when they attempt to perform the action, so the roll will be made immediately before they attempt to perform the action, not at the start of their activation.

Ball and Chain
Traits
When this player is activated, the only action they may perform is a "Ball and Chain Move" special action. There is no limit to how many players with this Trait may perform this Special action each team turn.
When this player performs this Special action:
  • Place the Throw-in template over the player, facing towards either End Zone or either sideline as you wish.
  • Roll a D6 and move the player one square in the direction indicated.
  • A player with Ball and Chain automatically passes any Agility tests they may be required to make in order to Dodge, regardless of any modifiers.
  • If this movement takes the player off the pitch, they risk Injury by the crowd
  • If this movement takes the player into a square in which the ball is placed, the player is considered to have moved involuntary. Therefore, they may not attempt to pick the ball up and the ball will bounce.
Repeat this process for each square the player moves.
If this player would move into a square that is occupied by a Standing player from either team, they must perform a Block action against that player, following the normal rules, but with the following exceptions:
  • A Ball and Chain player ignores the Foul Appearance Skill
  • A Ball and Chain player must follow-up if they push-back another player.
If this player moves into a square that is occupied by a Prone or Stunned player from either team, for any reason, that player is immediately pushed back and an Armour Roll is made against them.
This player may Rush. Declare that the player will Rush before placing the Throw-in template and rolling the D6 to determine direction:
  • If this player Rushes into an occupied square, move them as normal and roll a D6:
    • On a roll of 2+, this player moves without mishap.
    • On a roll of 1 (before or after modification), the player Falls Over.
  • If this player Rushes into a square that is occupied by a standing player from either team, roll a D6:
    • On a roll of 2+, this player moves without mishap and will perform a Block action against the player occupying the square as described previously.
    • On a roll of 1 (before or after modification), the player occupying the square is pushed back and this player will Fall Over after moving into the vacated square.
If this player ever Falls Over, is Knocked Down or is placed Prone, an Injury roll is immediately made against them (no Armour roll is required), treating a Stunned result as a KO'd result.
A player with this Trait cannot also have the Diving Tackle, Frenzy, Grab, Leap, Multiple Block, On the Ball or Shadowing skills. This Trait must still be used if the player is Prone or has lost their Tackle Zone.

Q: If a player with the Foul Appearance skill is chosen as the target of a Foul action, does the player that declared them as the target of a Foul action have to make the roll for Foul Appearance? (p.78)
A: No, as Foul Appearance only triggers when the player is chosen as the target of either a Block action or a Special action.

Q: If a player with the Ball & Chain trait moves into a square occupied by a Prone or Stunned player, does the resulting Armour roll benefit from the Mighty Blow (+X) skill if applicable? (p.82)
No, as in this instance a Block action wasn’t made.

Q: Can a player with the Ball and Chain trait declare a Foul action? (p.82)
A: No, the only action a player with the Ball and Chain trait can perform is a ‘Ball & Chain Move’ special action.

Q: If a player with the Ball and Chain trait rolls the Piledriver skill as a random Skill, can they re-roll it? (p.82)
A: Yes.

Bloodlust (X+)
Traits
To keep control of their wits, Vampires need a supply of fresh blood. Whenever a player with this Trait activates, even if they are Prone or have lost their Tackle Zone, after declaring their action, they must roll a D6, adding 1 to the roll if they declared a Block action or a Blitz action. If they roll equal to or higher than the number shown in brackets, they may activate as normal. If the player rolls lower than the number shown in brackets, or rolls a natural 1, they may continue their activation as normal though they may change their declared action to a Move action if they wish. If the player declared an action that can only be performed once per team turn (such as a Blitz action), this will still count as the one of that action for the team turn. At the end of their activation they may bite an adjacent Thrall Lineman team-mate (Standing, Prone or Stunned). If they bite a Thrall, immediately make an Injury roll for the Thrall treating any Casualty result as Badly Hurt; this will not cause a Turnover unless the Thrall was holding the ball. If they do not bite a Thrall for any reason then a Turnover is caused, the player will lose their Tackle Zone until they are next activated, and will immediately drop the ball if they were holding it. If the player was in the opposing End Zone, no touchdown is scored. If a player who failed this roll wants to make a Pass action, Hand-off, or score, then they must bite a Thrall before they perform the action or score.

Q: Does the Running Pass skill allow a player with the Bloodlust (X+) trait to continue moving after biting a Thrall and then performing a Pass? (p.5)
A: Yes.

Q: If a player with the Bloodlust (X+) trait ends their activation Prone, can they still bite a Thrall? (p.5)
A: No. A player with the Bloodlust (X+) trait must be standing in order to bite a Thrall.

Q: What happens if a player with the Bloodlust (X+) trait fails the Bloodlust roll and is then placed Prone as a result of the Wrestle skill during a Block action? (p.5)
A: Then the player with the Bloodlust (X+) has been unable to bite a Thrall, a Turnover is caused and the Vampire will lose their Tackle Zone until they are next activated.

Q: What happens if a player with the Bloodlust (X+) trait fails the Bloodlust roll and is forced to end their activation early? (p.5)
A: Then the player with the Bloodlust (X+) trait has been unable to bite a Thrall, Turnover is caused and the Vampire will lose their Tackle Zone until they are next activated and will immediately drop the ball if they were holding it.

Bombardier
Traits
When activated and if they are Standing, this player can perform a "Throw Bomb" Special action.

However, only a single player with this Trait may perform this Special action each team turn.
A Bomb can be thrown and caught, and the throw interfered with, just like a ball, using the rules for Pass action as described on page 48, with the following exceptions:
  • A player may not stand up or move before performing a Throw Bomb action.
  • Bombs do not bounce and can come to rest on the ground in an occupied square. Should a player fail to catch a Bomb, it will come to rest on the ground in the square that player occupies.
  • If a Bomb is fumbled, it will explode immediately in the square occupied by the player attempting to throw it.
  • If a Bomb comes to rest on the ground in an empty square or is caught by an opposite player, no Turnover is caused.
  • A player that is in possession of the ball can still catch a Bomb.
  • Any Skills that can be used when performing a Pass action can also be used when performing a Throw Bomb Special action, with the exception of On the Ball.
If a Bomb is caught by a player on either team, roll a D6:
  • On a roll of 4+, the Bomb explodes immediately, as described below.
  • On a roll of 1-3, that player must throw the Bomb again immediately. This throw takes place out of the normal sequence of play.
Should a Bomb ever leave the pitch, it explodes in the crowd with no effect (on the game) before the crowd can throw it back.

When a Bomb comes to rest on the ground, in either an occupied square, in a square occupied by a player that failed to catch the Bomb or in a square occupid by a Prone or Stunned player, it will explode immediately:
  • If the Bomb explodes in an occupied square, that player is automatically hit by the explosion.
  • Roll a D6 for each player (from either team) that occupies a square adjacet to the one in which the Bomb exploded:
    • On a roll of 4+, the player has been hit by the explosion.
    • On a roll of 1-3, the player manages to avoid the explosion.
  • Any Standing players hit by the explosion are Placed Prone.
  • An Armour roll (and possibly an Injury roll as well) is made against any player hit by the explosion, even if they were already Prone or Stunned.
  • You may apply a +1 modifier to either the Armour roll or Injury roll. This modifier may be applied after the roll been made.
  • If the player performing the Throw Bomb Special action is hit by their bomb and Placed Prone, either as the result of a Fumbled throw or by being hit by the explosion, then a Turnover is caused.

Q: If a player Deflects a Bomb, but fails to convert it into an Interception, will it scatter from the square they are in or will they drop it? (p.83)
A: It will scatter from the square they are in, in the same manner as a Deflected ball.

Q. What happens when the player with Bombardier trait and the Safe Pass skill fumbles a throw when making a Throw Bomb Special Action?
A: The bomb will not be dropped and will not explode in the player's hands. The player's activation will still end.

Q. Can a Player who made a Throw Bomb Special action still use the Running Pass skill to move after throwing the bomb? (p.79 & 83)
A: Yes.

Q. When using Bombardier trait, can a re-roll be used when determining if a bomb that is caught explodes?
A: No.

Q: Do Skills that apply to the ball, but are not part of a Pass action (such as Fumblerooskie), also apply to a bomb? (p.83)
A: No, because a bomb is not a ball.

Q: Can a player use a re-roll of any kind (Team Re-roll, Pro, etc.) to re-roll to see if a bomb that was caught will explode? (p.83)
A: No.

Q: If a player making a Throw Bomb Special action fumbles the Bomb, does this cause a Turnover? (p.83)
A: No.

A: No.

Q: Can a player with the Hypnotic Gaze trait perform the Hypnotic Gaze Special action in the same activation in which they declared a Block action, Blitz action, Foul action or Pass action? (p.85)
