Throw Teammate Scatter Reroll

Post by iamcrazyjoe »

Does the same argument that allows Ball And Chain movement direction to use a Team Reroll allow a thrown teammate's scatter to be rerolled?

What argument is that?

No, you cannot reroll the scatter roll.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Ball and Chain reroll is allowed specifically by designer intent rather than by rules interpretation.

It's counterintuitive perhaps, when just reading the rules, but B&C reroll has been allowed for.

since Scatter is listed separately than Direction, I guess the question becomes does it allow for Doom Diver with Swoop to reroll their Direction as well, or is it just considered Scatter with different template.

I've been thinking that it should be rerollable; I'm hoping it doesn't come up, since I'm the only one playing Goblins in my league and I don't want to have to try to get a ruling that would only ever work in my favor... :)

Arguably, a Pro skilled thrower can re-roll scatter.

That discussion predates Swoop.

Ooh, what about a pro kicker. A rerollable kick off could be pretty powerful.

Answered in the above discussion. He's not kicking "during a turn" therefore cannot use pro.

This is highly interesting.

IS there a consensus on this? can pro reroll a landing scatter? And is it the thrower or the lander who needs to have it?

On a tree the first double i block and the second Jump Up, but with this change pro could be more useful than Jump Up...

Galak has said (pre-LRB6) "Scatter dice are just effect dice not rolls made by a player so they cannot be rerolled..." (viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5125, viewtopic.php?f=24&t=24243)

Which is contradicted specifically for the B&C goblins. This could perhaps thus be applied to Doom Divers, but even that is arguably more of an "effect" than the Ball & Chain.

IMO, a kickoff is pretty definitively not something a player is rolling (the benefit comes from having the player on the field) and thus Pro will have nothing to do with it.
