Narrow Tier BB - 2012
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 12:59 pm
Hi all,
following lots of online discussion + feedback from the pbem playtest tournament, I've decided to make a 2012 revision for NTBB.
You can read more here: http://www.plasmoids.dk/bbowl/NTBB.htm
and you can see the neat roster pdf here: http://www.plasmoids.dk/NTBB.pdf
I've summarized the rules below:
The intent
a. To curb the Big Bash dominance in high-TV play
b. To narrow the team tiers (I.e. push tier 2 and 3 into the bottom of tier 1, and rein in the überteams)
The rules tweaks:
1. Piling On works like mighty blow, put you have to be adjacent to the victim and go prone, in order to use the modifier.
2. Fouling gets a generic +1 modifier
3. Sneaky Git is rewritten. When a sneaky git is sent off (including for a SW) just place him in the KO box.
4. Recommended Spiralling Expenses: SE kick in at 180, with steps of 10.
5. Concessions no longer yield extra cash
6. Wizards cost 200K
7. Bank: Petty cash rule deleted. Cash count towards TV, however during the postgame (or team creation) you can hide up to 100K. This cash is unavailable until the next postgame, but does not count towards TV.
The Rosters
The Major Buffs
1. Gobbo teams get 0-3 trolls and ReRolls for 50K. (Also see Sneaky Git)
2. Halfling team gets split into Linemen (AV7) and 0-6 catchers (AG4, 50K). 50K rerolls.
3. Ogre teams get 60K rerolls and ogres for 130K. Snotlings become 6136, same skills, and titchy lets them ignore tackle when blocked.
The Minor Buffs
4. Human teams gets AV8 on the catchers, and the ogre for 130K
5. Vampire teams gets Thick Skull on the thralls.
6. Underworld teams get 60K rerolls
7. Khemri ThroRa and BlitzRa gain Thick Skull. Tomb Guardians become AV8 with Break Tackle, but lose decay, for 110K
The Minor Nerfs
8. Dwarf slayers replace block with Juggernaut
9. Wood Elf wardancers replace Dodge with Fend
10. Orc blitzers cost 90K
11. Undead mummies replace Mighty Blow with Grab - Long term compensation buff: Mummies gain G-access.
12. Amazon blitzers replace Block with Wrestle - Long term compensation buff: All amazon gain A-access.
Cheers
Martin
