Vague Armor Roll?

Post by darkdancer17 »

Heya,

Just getting back into the swing of Blood Bowl, coming in from the old Astro-Granite 2nd Edition... :)

Can't recall, and the rules are a bit unclear, so I wanted to get a ruling on this.

PG 12, Living Rule Book 2.0 Reads, in regards to Injuries :

"The opposing coach rolls two dice and adds their score together in an attempt to beat the knocked over player's Armour value."

Now there is some dispute in the league I am in. Some of us believe that you have to actually beat the AV of the person. Example, to injure an AV 8 player, you need to roll 9+.

There are others who believe that scoring the AV counts as beating it. Example, to injure an AV 8 player, you need 8+.

Which is correct?

Thanks!

You need to beat the armour roll, not equal it, so to injure a AV8 player you need to roll a 9 or more

You have to beat the armour value meaning with AV8 you must roll 9+.
