Keep those ideas coming, I'm playing pact in my next league ;)

If the comparison is between a receiver with Extra Arms vs Diving Catch, then it should be 2+/2+ versus 4+, since the empty-square Diving Catch attempt is not considered accurate. The DC work-around is really only useful to AG5 (or AG4+XArms) receivers. But then if you've got a +AG Marauder, you're using him to pass in the first place, since he's got P and no Animosity...

Hilarious that Chaos Marauders are more open-minded than Dark Elves and Skaven. :)

Because diving catch says: " The player may add 1 to any catch roll from an accurate pass targeted to his square."

Says also: "...can attempt to catch any pass .. that would land in an empty square in one of his tackle zones as if it has landed in his own square...".

So if the pass was targeted at the empty square you should get the +1 bonus to catch for accurate pass, but not the additional +1 bonus for Diving Catch. AG3 player would catch the ball on 3+ then right?

That's right. That's how I read it.

kk is correct. If the pass to the empty square is accurate the DC player will catch with the +1 bonus.

How can you determinate race of a star player ? (Do goblin can pass to Boomer Morvonez without roll animosity ?)

Do you think goblin and troll or orque are of the same race? (Do goblin can pass to Troll without roll animosity ? Do goblin can pass to Ugroth Tranchegrots without roll animosity ?)

Star players technically have no race. Animosity applies to all of them.

Are you qualified to use big words like that Steve? :wink:
