Vault Bowl IV October 12 & 13th 2013

[gamesvaultsteve]

Hi all.

Many thanks Matt for posting for me. Its been a bit hectic for me recently due to one thing and another.

I have now registered the tournament on The Naf.

Will pop round event explanations on here. We have had round events in the past and they have been enjoyed by all. So as well as giving the tournament a fresh look with new tiers and skill packages we also have new round events

[gamesvaultsteve]

Round 1 - Late for the Game

At the start of each half, after both teams have set up, a random player from each team turns out to have been late for the match. Remove both figures from the pitch immediately.

Starting from turn 2 of that drive, each coach must roll to see if the late player returns. At the start of the turn, on the roll of a 4+, the player will return on either sideline or the endzone in that coach’s own half of the field. He may act as normal.

If a touchdown is scored or the half ends before the late player shows up, he is assumed to have returned by this time. He is eligible to take part in the match as normal, along with the rest of his team.

Round 2 – Freak Weather

Roll Result Effect
2 Lightning The air is lit up by regular lightning strikes… When the moving team ends its turn during a lightning storm, roll a d6. If the result is a 1, a player from that team, randomly selected, has been struck by lightning. Place prone and roll for armour and injury as if hit by Mighty Blow.

3 or 4 Torrential Rain A torrential downpour is causing complete havoc! All attempts to handle the ball, including Picking Up the ball and all Catch rolls have a -1 modifier. Only Quick/Short Passes may be attempted. The extremely muddy conditions reduces all MA by 1. (Adjusted MA cannot be reduced below 3).

5 or 6 Pouring Rain A persistent downpour is making the ball slippery and difficult to hold. This causes a -1 modifier on all attempts to handle the ball, including Picking Up the ball and all Catch rolls.

7 Drizzle The Storm is easing off, no penalties apply.

8 or 9 Autumn Wind A strong breeze is blowing through the trees and blowing their leaves all over the pitch. This makes the surface a bit slippery and GFI’s will fail on a roll of 1 and 2.

10 or 11 Strong Wind Immediately roll randomly on the Scatter template to determine wind direction. The result is the direction of the Strong Wind. All Kick-Offs and Inaccurate Passes will scatter an additional D6 squares (in the air) in this direction before normal scatter rolls are made.

12 Shrieking Gale There is the most ear-splitting gale racing down off the mountain. All Kick-Offs are automatically touchbacks. No passes may be attempted.


Round 3 - Coach Bonus

Each coach will draw a random card from a deck, on it will be one of the 50k play cards. No Coach will have the same card.

Round 4 - Orca Cola

Vault Bowl IV sponsors Orca Cola provide a magic potion. Coaches must give this potion to any player on their team.

Orca Cola Result (D8 roll):
1 – player gains really stupid
2 – player gains loner
3 – player gains +1MA
4 – player gains +AV
5 – player gains dauntless and frenzy
6 – player gains tackle and wrestle
7 – player gains +1AG
8 – player gains +1ST

Round 5 - Excuse me Coach can I play.....

Each coach is approached by a stunty who offers his services;

Roll a D6:

1 - Snotling - 5 1 3 6 loner, dodge, stunty, titchy, sidestep
2 - 3 halfling - 5 2 3 6 loner, dodge, stunty
4 -5 goblin - 6 2 3 7, loner, dodge, stunty
6 - skink - 8 2 3 7 loner, dodge, stunty

The stunty will play for the team regardless of race.

Round 6 - 12th man

The crowd is on your side. Surf an opposing player into the crowd on your half of the pitch and the crowd beat them up with mighty blow. Players surfed into the crowd in thier half will suffer a normal injury roll.

[Spiky]

Is it me or are there 9 results on the D8 potion roll table?

You can roll a 0 these days, didn't you know?

[mattwhile]

If you roll an 8, you roll again (twice) with a -1 modifier.

[Heff]

Can you stack skills?

[mattwhile]

Alomost certain you can't, but hopefully Steve will confirm. We haven't been able to at previous Vaultbowls.

Round 3..

I have one of the card sets made up by some group a couple of years ago...Am I alright to use those?

[gamesvaultsteve]

You can end with a 0 result on the potion table

Will be good to see you again Cracol.

Sorry Heff no stacking of skills.
