Halfling Runners

[just1234person]

Bascially, I've been having fun making up new teams and putting them into the Cyanide game for playtesting, my new teams thread. Someone mentioned an all Dump-Off team could be fun, so I thought Halflings would be a good candidate.

"Few Halflings would even consider fielding onto the Blood Bowl pitch without a Treeman, and even fewer would try and play Blood Bowl via the Elven method of passing. These Halfling Passers are truly exceptional, not just in how badly they are often beaten on the pitch, but in the unbelievable and unlikely plays they often pull off, despite their disadvantage."

No Treeman to protect them, but Stoutboys can 1D block through the cage, and every Halfling having Dump-Off means it's easier for them to keep the ball. However, it's harder for me to guesstimate the effectiveness of this team idea. Anyways, what do you think?

I might apply the Dump-Off, Stunty team idea to something else, maybe Pygmies with AV 7, if it needs a boost.

Surely the runner should be faster than the catcher?

I like this team. I was thinking before I saw this post how the biggest problem with Halflings is that they don't have positionals and how if I were to redesign the current team in the game, I would give them something like:

0-2 Runners 5236 Dodge, Stunty, Right Stuff, Sure Hands AP 50K
and/or
0-2 Halfling Blockers 5237 Dodge, Stunty, Right Stuff GA 50K

Would be a small tweak, but I think it would make them more fun to play and slightly more competitive. But I really like your idea of Stoutfolk with Dauntless. Dauntless is the perfect skill for a Halfling blocker-type. Would it be such a crime if they got 2 guys with G access?

Anyway, neither here nor there, but peripherally related.
