will Star Player Rolls be changed and if, then how ?

If i understood correctly it is almost certain that the house rule of "ignoring the result of a star player roll to take a normal skill instead" will get official.

How about doubles ? will "any skill or trait" be changed to 7 instead of "double" in order to set the chance to a clear 1/6 that does not mix with characteristic increases ?

Is this an relevant issue for the upcoming rules update ?

Odds are extremely good (99%) that the any roll of 10, 11, 12 may be used for a normal skill.

Beyond that I would not expect to see any variant of the 7s rule for traits this go around, but it might be suggested as an experimental in BB Mag at some point.

Hi Galak, i heard you say ageing has not enough impact. Currently the ageing handicap must be "equaled or beaten" e.g on the 1st Ageing Roll you must roll not below 3. Is this going to be changed to "beaten" so that you must roll above 3 ?

/ apart from beeing official would you like the doubles rule to be modified ? Do you think 1/6 for "any skill or trait, maybe characteristics increase" is good as it is right now ? Or would you vote to better distribute chances, for example like this:

(1-3 normal skill, 4 any skill, 5 trait, 6 characteristics increase)
alternatively:
(1-4 normal skill, 5 any skill or trait, 6 characteristics increase)

Actually, my thoughts on ageing have changed dramatically in the last month or so.

I'd like ageing to stay the same, but the penalties for Niggles increase. I talked this over with Neo and Chet at length and had planned to test the every drive niggle roll with both of their agreements.

HOWEVER, Woody and co. yelled so loud about thinking this was a bad idea that this replacement to increased aging got nixed already ... oh well we'll do each half and when that's not enough go to each drive I guess.

As for the skills rolls ... I'm really happy with the current rules with the one change of skill or stat increase.

I think the aging system works. I have a 266 Team rating High Elf team who has suffered from ageing. It hasn´t devestated me but it has hurt. The only change I could recommend is that the two last ageing rolls would be a little more difficult to sort away those really lucky coaches...
