OK, I took a bit of inspiration from the Albion Rugby Team and came up with this..... The roster Im making needs to use LRB4 skillset and to be about the same level as Goblins, for hopefully peikko will like them and add them to the Stunty Leeg!

I have to think up fluff and better names yet...

Code: Select all

Fawny Flinkinson
6 2 3 7 Dodge, Stunty, Dump Off, Hail Mary Pass, accurate, safe throw 80/40k

Barfin' Jon Stone
4 4 2 8 Leader, Frenzy, Stand Firm 130/65k

My initial thoughts are that this is a roster that will rely on the running game to score TD's, as the team lacks TTM ability. As with Rugby teams a successful offence will be a rolling maul, using the Forwards to keep a screen in front of your ballcarrier, and if he does get tackled, he can try to offload the ball to another player, possibly a back

Rushing for dinner now, but I quite like this roster, it packs slighty more punch than the Goblin roster, but Goblins are better value for what you pay out

***Edit***

Due to discussion, I have thought a little more about the Flanker... and perhaps Tebtacles instead of Stand Firm may be a better choice... is the 8/9 dodges a bad thing in a league like that?

at first glance, i really like the look and feel of the roster, as the ability to break up the opponents plans is made up for by the general halfling ineptness.

are the props ogres? just checking cos its not entirely clear. also im wondering why stand firm is so necessary, id prefer to see something like fend - less of a bashy feel.

but overall the thought of a load of midgets running at you like they have a hope amuses me, and the pass block/diving catch/dump off would be awesome fun.

Main reason its LRB4 skills is that Im proposing it for the Stunty Leeg on FUMBBL, where they are using JavaBB which doesnt have Fend, I did like Fend and there are lots of skills I wouls have liked to use for the team, but alas!

Some people on FUMBBL had complained about the potency of Dodge/Stunty/Stand Firm in the LRB4 sense so The flankers were changed slightly, reduced ag to make scoring not so easy, SF stayed and Diving Tackle in a stunty environment was just found to be too nasty, so Prehensile Tail was thought to be better so the end result for the flankers was...
