Can you Hail Mary throw a Team-mate?

Ahem
You only must use a skill/trait when it says you MUST use it (frenzy)
Therefore you can use Hail Mary Pass but you do not need too

All and wonderful guys ... but that doesn't change the fact that the only skills you can legally combine with TTM are Pro, Leader, and Pass. So don't waste your doubles on HMP for that Troll 'cause it ain't legal.

Neither is Accurate for that matter.

from Throwing team mates chapter:
Apart from the changes noted above you must roll to see if the throw was accurate just as if the monster were throwing the football. If the monster has the Pass skill then he is allowed to re-roll the dice if he misses on his
first attempt. He may also try to use the Pro skill, but he may not use Accurate.

this is the only quote i can find from the living rulebook (2.0) where skills you can or cant use with TTM are mentioned.

at close examination theese are the only skills that "should" apply for throwing team mates, but as you "correctly" point out; Leader can also be used to reroll the throw team mate...the only reason why that isnt mentioned is because big guys arent allowed to use rerolls, but if they are leaders they gain access to the leader reroll.

anyway...another skill (like leader) which isnt mentioned in the TTM chapter is the hail mary pass. The problem with the text (as usual in bloodbowl and other games) is that it isnt stated explicitly that ONLY pass and pro can be used to reroll a TTM (with the added leader reroll of course)...

so, a suggestion:
change the TTM text to an explicit statement on which skills can be used to reroll a TTM attempt and add that to the TTM skill description too.

bj0rn - ...all good and well if no misunderstanding is possible!

Grumbledook posted the link to the rules review where they spelled this out for you. Why don't oyu go and read it and quit arguing your point about wha tthe LRB actually says. We all know it's a bit ambiguous and can be misinterpreted.

Damn. Put your glasses on and listen to what people have been telling you.

It should also be noted that officially you cannot HMP in a blizzard because it is considered to be Long Bomb range or more .... same logic than extends to HMP.

IE .... bottom line you cannot, and as Snots said. The BBRC already voiced their opinion on this one.

This is pretty explicit I think:

Hey, that's a pretty neat effect. Getting the 5 quote brackets just right must have been a pain, though.
