Gutter runner mutated...again!

I have a gutter runner who rolled a double and took Very Long Legs as his first skill rolling. Was planning on taking Sprint as his second skill, but he rolled doubles again. What should I chose? I'm putting off Sprint, since he can get that later. I'm thinking of either Foul Appearance or Two Heads. Two Heads will give him 2+ dodge rolls almost anywhere, but Foul Appearance will once in a while help him to not get blocked, plus will be hell of annoying for opposing ballhandlers.
Any advice?

well seeing as you are turning him into a 1 turner he isn't that likely to get blocked and the extra +1 for dodging will be more useful for him. Or with vll you can make him into a great bass blocker. Taking nerves of steel or foul appearence will help with this, then you can get pass block and catch on normal rolls. Though i am not 100% that nerves of steel works for interception catches as well. So its up to you which you want to groom him into really.
Personally i would have gone along the dauntless then horns route with the fella, far more useful than a one turner is.

Thanks for the advice, he's about to grow another head.

NOS does work for interceptions.
If he were mine, though, He'd get FA in a second and take Pass Block on his next roll. VLL, FA, Pass Block is my favorite combo on Gutter Runners.

Now that FA "officially" works when prone I'd take it like a shot.
3-4 of these babies(?) on a skaven team is gonna ruin anyone's passing game.

Yeah Grumble, Catch would be next but I never get that many skill rolls on one guy.

Foul Appearance is VERY powerful skill.
Id take that. You need to have 3-4+ Foul Appearance Players.
Also, It will help him live longer

HORNS HORNS HORNS HORNS HORNS.
You can now blitz with your stupidly fast GR. You don't need help dodging because you already get 2+ dodges a fair bit of the time AND you have dodge.
Take Block or Shadowing as his "first" skill or - God forbid - Dauntless on a double. You just got yourself a brilliant Safety.
Dauntless+Horns+MA10? suits you sir....

you want to take dauntless before horns tbh then you can get 1 dice on most players rather than just on st3 players, ok it may fail sometimes but thats not often

I agree with Grumbledook, dauntless then horns, imo.

Go for 1 turn

I would go for the 1 turn scorer no matter that you have rolled doubles (assuming you haven´t got one allready). If you can wait a bit take stunty - it will come in handy later. Otherwise just take sprint.

Stunty can no longer be taken on doubles by anyone. You have to be born with Stunty to have it as a skill.
