May I enquire why: "NO more than two copies of same skill."?

@vanguard it will be the award winning pie of the year 2017 scotch pie from Brownings.

@Carrick due to there being no restrictions on the number of doubles taken, I put it in just to save any exploitation of skill selection.

Just out of interest what do you believe the possible "exploitation" to be?

Skill builds based on duplicate skills are the optimal way to make certain teams competitive, such as the Dwarfs with guard and the Lizardmen with block (possibly also Dark Elves with dodging up the blitzers but I'm not 100% sure on that). Other highly competitive teams such as Norse, Wood Elves and Undead suffer in absolutely no way in a skill set situation that sets a limit on duplication.

In this set for example I would even think twice about humans as I typically like three guard.

I'm just wondering if this was considered to the full or if this was just sort of an arbitrary restriction placed on the rules pack for the sake of it, or to avoid the spectre of guard dwarfs everyone seems to be irrationally hysterical about?

The idea for the comp was that I believed that it would create skill diversity instead of the 'classic' choices. I felt that is was tier 3 teams that suffered the most from the restriction, even though I would love to have 4 block ogres.

Not too late to modify this restriction out :wink:

TBH Tier 3 teams need every advantage they can get.

I see. This is in no way a criticism and I wish you all the luck for the tournament I just think it's good to consider things to the full before they make it into a rules pack.

Again, for some of the strongest races in the game skill diversity IS the "classic" choice. Wood Elves - Strip Ball, Tackle, Leader, Wrestle, Block. Undead - Guard, Guard, Tackle, Mighty Blow, Block Wrestle. Norse - Guard, Guard, Block, Block, Mighty Blow, Dodge... all pretty much the optimal skill selections (some discussion here and there) for some of the top competitive teams in the game in NO WAY affected by this skill restriction.

Basically, by restricting skills all you're doing is making certain teams weaker (neither of which are the top two statistically, Undead and Wood Elves.)

Just for the record you are by far NOT the only tourney with such restrictions, but as this happened to be the tourney I was looking at I thought I'd bring it up :lol:

It used to be a common rule in Scotland but all the other tournaments dropped it for the reasons you have outlined above.
