BLOOD BOWL *

BLOOD BOWL COMPETITION RIULES

This rules pack contains a set of alternative game rules that have been developed in order to maintain game balance in leagues that last for long periods of time (e.g. for months or years rather than weeks), and for Use in tournaments where very precise play balance and exact wording of the rules are important. They have been heavily tested by Blood Bowl coaches around the world, to ensure the best lonq-terrn balance and minimum of confusion. However, by necessity this makes the competition rules longer and more complex than the standard rules, and because of this their use is entirely optional. League commissioners and tournament organisers should therefore feel free to use either the competition rules or the standard rules included with the Blood Bowl game, whichever they consider to be the most appropriate for the league or tournament they plan to run.

Note that the Competition Rules pack only includes the information and rules that you will need during play. All descriptions of game components, the history of Blood Bowl, and all illustrations and 'Did You Knows' have been removed, both in order to save repeating information already in the Blood Bowl Rulebook, and to save time and money when printing the document out. We recommend printing two pages to a sheet to save further paper. Also note that the original page numbering has been preserved as much as possible, to ensure that page references in the text remain correct, and this sometimes means that the page numbers 'jump forward' or that pages have a certain amount of empty space. In other words, the Competition Rules pack is a functional document, rather than an attractive one!

SETIING UP THE GAME,

Before you start, It'S a 9iood idea to read through these rules at least once so you get some Idea ot what you are doing. Once you have done this, layout the board and assemble the players. The owner of the game always gets the rrirstohoice as to which team he' will playl Eaoh coach will also' need a DUigout, Ihe appropriate learn card and a set 01 counters. Each coach should place his or her Dugout behind one off the End ZOnes. This shows which half of lhe pitch belongs to each learn. You score a touchdown by getting the ball 'into the' opposing learn's End Zone.

Each coach should pleoe a Tum marker in the First Halt square on the tum tract and a S.core counter iii the Score, tracK on the board nearest their own End Zone. Finally, eaoh coach should reter to their team roster to see how many Re-roll counters their' learn is entilled to, and shoukl place that many counters on the He-roll track of the Dugout

Flip the Blood BOWl coin or roll a D6 to see which coach will choose who Will set up .tirnt The team that sets Lip firs) is called the kicking te,am, because they wili klck-off fhe ball. The other team is called !he receiving team, because they will receive the kio:k~off. Each ooaoh must set up 11 players, or if they cant field 11 then as many players as they have In Reserves, between their c;lno zone and the halfway line, and within the following resfricjions :

1. The kicking team always sets up first.

2. No more than two p.layers may be set up in each wide zone (l.e., a maximum of four players may he split'wicle,. tVI/O on each flank).

3. At least three players must O!? set up next to the halt way line, on the line of scrimmage.

If YOil cannot set up 3 players. on the Line OIT Scrimmage you must either concede the match (see page 15 (or page 29 If you ere usingt/le Extra' RUles», or carry on playing by plac.irigas many players on the line off scrimmage as possible.

THE KliCK-OFF

After Iboth teams heve eet up, the coach of the kicking team places the ball In any square in the opponent's hal] of the pitch, inclUding fhe opponent's End Zone if he likes. The ball will then scatter in a random dlrecUon. Usingl theScattertemplate, roll the eig:ht-sidied dice oneetor the direction of scatter, and then roll a D610 see how many squares the ball will go.

ImlPortant note: The kick-off Is the only timelhaf you roll a D6 to see how many squares the ball moves When it scatters. This is because kicks are very Inaccurate. When rolling scatter for a missed pass, or when the ball bounces, the [ball only moves one squareper Scatter roll.

A kick-off must land in the opponent's half of the pitch. Assuming the ball lands in the receiving learn's half of the pitch, then it will either land in an empty sqUiare or a square occupied by a player. If the ball lands In an emply square It will bounce one more square (see Bouncing Balls on page 13). If the ball lands on a square occupied by a player, the player must try to catch the ball (see Catchingl the Ball on page 13). lIT the ball scatters or bounces oIT! the pitch or into the _kicking learn's halt, the receiving coaoh is awarded a 'touchback' and rnusi give the ball to any player in his team. Once the kidk-off' has been taken you are ready to proceed to the firsl turn of the game,

BLOOD BOWL *

[THE, SEQUENCE OF PLAY

Blood Bowl is split into two halves 01 sixteen turns each (l.e., sigihi turns per coach}. At the end of the second half the team with the most touchdowns is the winner. The game is played using a simple but strlet sequence off play, which runs as follows:

A. Receiving Team's Turn

B. Kicking Team's Tum

Repeat A ana 6, one after Ihe olher, until the end of '!he drive. NOllE: A drive is defined as playing until a touchdown is scored or the halt ends.

During a turn, fhelearn in p!ay may perform one Action WIth each player in the team .. .A coach is only allowed four minutes to complete his tum, The players. on the other team may not lake any Actions until their own turn comes around,

MOVING THE TURN MARKER

Each coach is responsible for keeping track off how many turns his team has used, andrnust: move the Turn marker one. space along the 1rac~ provIded on his Dugout .at the start of each and everyone of his turns. If' he forgets to move the counter before sfarling a play with one-or more QIT his' players, then the opposing coach is allowed to callior an 'illegal procedure' penalty as soon as he spots the mistake. A play is considered to be 'moving a player one or more squares, standing up a player or rolling the dlee during yoUr1urn.

A coach Who is called for an Illegal procedure must either end his turn or immediately lose one re-roll, which will count as the use oi a team re-roll for fhe.tum if one has not already been used. If ih~ coach chooses to not end his tum and has no re-rolls letl, then the opposing coach gains a re-roll. Iff a. ooach jorqets to move-the Turn marker, but redifies his· mistake before the opposing coach spots the error, then he cannot be called for an illegal procedure. Iff a coach incorrectly calls an illegal procedure then he must lose a re-roll lrnrnedlately, i~ he has no re-rolls remaining his opponent glalns are-roll.

PLA YEIR ACTIIONS

Each player In a learn may pertorrn one Action per turn, The Actions I hat' may be performed are described below. When all of the players In a team have performed an Action Ihen the tum ends and 1I1e opposing coach Is allowed to take a turn.

You must declare which Action a player Is going to take be~ore carrying outlhe .Action. For example, you might say, "Tblsplayer is 9l0ing to take a. Block Action."

Players. perform Actions one at a time·. In other words, the coach may perform an Action with one player; and then perform all Action with anolher player, and so on. This oarrles on until all of the players have periformedi an Action, or the coach does not want to perform an. Action with any more players. Note that a player must finish his .Action before another player- can take one. Each player may only perform one Action per tu rn, Only one Hiltz: and one Pass Action may ~be, .taken in each tum. These Actions must be taken by separate players; a player cannot perform a Blitz Ac.ticm and aPass Action in the same turn.

LIST OF ACTIONS

Move: The player may move a number of squares equal to the'ir Movement Allowance (MAl (including moving zero squares).

Block: The player may make a single block ag:ainsi a player In an adjacent square, Players !hat are Prone may not perform this Action.

Bll!tz; The player may move a.number of squares. eqllal to thek MA. He rnay make one block during the. move. The. block m<;lY be made at any point during the move, and 'costs' one square off movement.

IMPORTANT: Thrs Action may not be declared by more !han one player per turn. However! any player may perform a Blitz - the player doesnt.have to be a.Biiizer (Blitzers ate just better at it than other players).

Pass: The player may move a number of squares equal to his MA. At the end of the move the player may pass the ball.

IMPOR TANT: This. Aotion may not be declared by more than one player per turn.

NOTE: The Extra Rules section adds MrO additional Actio.ns:

Hand-o.ff (see page 20) end Foul (see page 23). Neither ot tnese Actions may be. declamd by more men 0.00 player perJum.

TURNOVERS

Normally, a turn only ends When all of the players in the team have performed an Action. However, certain events cause the tum to end before all ctthe players. have taken an Action, These events are c.alled turnovers. The following events cause a turnover:

L A player on Ihemovlngrteamis~ Knocked Down (being injured by the crowd or Ibeing Placed Prone is nol a turnover unless it is a. player from the active team holding the ball; e.g. skills like DIVing. Tackle, Piling On and Wrestle count as being Placed Pronej or

.2. A passed ball, or hand-off, is not caught by any member of the moving team before the bail comes to rest or

3 .. A prayer 'from the movingl team attempts: to' pick up lhe ball and tatls (note: falling a catch roll, as opposed to a plok up, is by ilselff never a turnover) Or

4. A touchdown is scored or

5. Thetour-mirrutetime limit tor the tum runs out or

6. A pass attempt is . fumbled even if 11. player wom that team catches the fumbled ball or

7. A player withlhe bell is throWn or is atlempled 10 be thrown usIng Throw Team-Mate and [ails to land successfully (including bejnQl eaten or squlrmingl free from an Always HUngry roll) or

8. A playeris E1jecled Iby fhe referee tor a foul.

A coach that suffers a turnover is not allowed to take. any further Actions that turn, and any Action beingJ taken ends lrnrnediately liven if it was only partially completed, Make armour and! injl.l'ry rolls tor players that were knocked down, and 'if the !ball was dropped then roll to see where it bounces to normally. Stunned players should be, turned face up, and then the oppos.ingl coach may start 1:0 take his: turn.

MOVEMENT

A player may move a number of squares .equal 10 his Movement AI.lowance. Players, may move In any direction or comblnatlon of' directions, including' diagmudly, as long as they do not enter a. square that holds another player (from either team). Players do not have to use up aU of !heir Movement Allowance in their turn; they don't need to move at all if his coach does not want 'them to.

TACKLE ZONES

A standing player exerts indiv,idual tackle Zones on each of the eig;hl adjacent squares, as shown In the diagram below. A player who is Prone or Stunned does not exert any tackle' zones.

In order to leave a square that is in one or more opposing tackle zones, a player must dodge out OIT the square The player only has to dodge once in order to leave the square, no matter how marry opposing Iacklee zones are on it. Note that you must always make a Dodge roll when you leave a tackle zone, even if there aren't any tackle zones on the square you are movingl to (s~e the slow-motion replay).

Look up the player's AQ'lIity on the .Agility table opposite to~ind the score required to successfully dodge out 01 the square. For example, if the player had an Agility of3 he would need to roll a 4 or more to dodge out Of the square. Roll a 06, and add or su biram any ot the modifiers thai apply to lhe D6 roll.

Players Ihai move lnte jhe squere with the ball at other times (e.g'., when pushed back, thrown by another player with Throw Team-Male, etc.) cannot pick up the ball, and instead it will bounce one square. This does not cause a turnover. See Bounclnq Balls on page 13.

BLOCKS

Instead of moving, a player may lhrow a. block at an opposing player who is in an adjacent square. You may only make a bloc!k against a st&nding: player ~ you may not block a player who has already been Knocked Down. A block is a very rougb tackle, designoo to really stop an opponent In histracks! To see If a blOCk works you will need to use the special Block dloe induded with the game.

BLITZ MOVES

Once per turn a. player onlhe moving team ls allowed "to make a special Blitz move. A blitz allowathe player to move and make a block. The block may be made at any polntdurinqlhe move, but costs one square of movement for the player to make. The player may carry on moving after the effects of the block have been worked outi! be has any squares of movement left.

STIRENOTH

The number of dice that are rolled depends onlhe strengths of the two players involv.eq. OhViously. if one p!ayeris stronger than the other he is more likely to knoc:k down their opponent when he makes a block. To represent lhis, the number of Bloc~ dice that are rolled varies depending on the relative' strengths of the players. However, no matter how many dlee are rolled, only one of them is ever used to decide the result of the block. The coach of the stronger player chooses which off the dice Is used,

If the players' strengths are EQUAL. one dice is rolled.

If one player is STRONGER, two dice are rolled and thecoach of the stronger player may choose which one is used,

If one player is, MORE THAN TWICE AS STRONG, Ihree dice are rolled and the coach of the stronger player may choose which Is used.

Note that-the coach otlhe player "maij(ing"'lhe block always 'rolls the dice, but that the coach oflhe stronger. playe.r may choose which is, used.

NOTE: Extra rules on page 21 allow players not Involved in the block to assiit the blocking players which can alter the number of dice rolled.

The Re~ult

Roll the appropriate 'number of dice and look up the result on the table below. On the table, the player makiClg the block is referred to as the, attacker, while 'his target is, the defender.

ATTACKER DOWN: The attacking player is. Knocked Down.

BOTH DOWN: Both players are Knocked Down, ynless one or both of the players involved has the Block $kill. If one player uses the Blocks kill then he is not Knocked Down by this result, though his opponentwiil still go down If b oththa players use the Block skill then neither player is Knocked Down:

PUSHED: The defending playl)r is pushed back one square by: the blocking player The atta<:king player may follow up-the d8fender.

Push aaeks: A player that is pushed back as a result ota block must be moved one square away from the player making the -block., as .shown in the diagrams. The coach oi the player who made the block may decide whichsquare the player is moved to. The player must be pushed back. into an empty square if possible. A square containing only the ball is considered empty ~and'a player pushedto itwill cause the ball to bounce (see page 13). If all such ·squares are occupied by other players, then the player is pushed into an occupied square, and the player that originally occupied the square is pushed back in turn. This .secondary push back is treated 'exactly like a normal push back as if the second player had been blocked by the flrstIpronearrd stunned players may be pushed this way as well). Tf')e coach of the rnovlndtaarri decides allpush back directions for secondary push backs unless the pushed player hasa skill that overrides this.

Players must be pushed off the pitch if there are 'no @Iigible emptvsquares on the pitch A'playerpushed off the pitch, even if Knocked Down, is beaten up only by the-crowd and receives one roll on the Injury table (see Injuries, opposite). The. crowd does not have any injury modifying skills.

Note that no Armourroil ls.rnade for a player that is pushed off the pitch, they are automatically injured. If a 'Stunned' result is rolled on the' InjUry table the player ishould be placed in the Reserves box of the DU'gClut, and must remain there uritil a tou c hdown is scored or the half ends, If the pi ayer who ls holding the ball isjrushed out ot bounds, then he is beaten up by the fans, who are more than happy to throw the. ball back into play! The Throw-in template is centredon the last squ are the pi ayer was in before he was pushed off the pitch.

Knock Downs: A player that is Knocked Down should be placed on their side in the square, taceu p. The pi ayer may be ·inju red (see lnlurles; 'page 11). Ii the. player who is Knocked Down comes from the moving team, then this caused a turnover and the moving team's tum ends immediately!

Foil ow Up Moves: A play erwho has made a block is allowed to make a special folloyv up mov¢land occupy a ~.ql,iarevacated by the player that he has pushed back. The player's coach must decide whether to follow up before any other dice rolls are made. This move lstree, and the. playercan ignore, ensrnytackle.zones when he makes the move (l.e., he does 'not have to dOdgE;! to .enter thesquare), A player that is blitzing ls-atlowed to make a follow up move! and the move does not cost him any additional movement (as he paid a square 'it:1 order to make the block, he has effectively already paid for the move).

KNOCKDOWNS & INJURIE,S,

Players. that are Knocked Down or Placed Prone for any reason should be placed face up on the pitch In !he square they were In when they fell over. While Prone, the player loses his tackle zones and may do nothing before standing up at a cost of three squares of his, movement when he next takes, an Action. Players, may stand up in an opposing. player's tackle zone wilhout having to malke a Dodge roll (they will have to docge if they subsequenlly leave}. Note that a player who stands up may not take a Block .Action, because you may not move when you lake a Block Action. The player may lake any Action other than a Block Action.

If a player carry·ing the ball is Knocked DoWn or Placed Probe, he will drop the ball in the square where he falls. The dropped bail will bounce- one square. in a random direction (see Bouncing Bails,. page 13) after the player's armour and injury rolls (if, any)

are fully resolved. .

INJURIES

Unless the rules state otherwise, any player that is Knocked Down may be injured. The opposing coach rolls two D6 and adds their scores together in an attempt to try 10 beat the Knocked Down player's Armour value. tff the roll succeeds, then the, opposing coach 15 allowed 10 roll on the' Injury table In the next column to see what injury the player has suffered.

STANDING UP

The only time a player can stand up is at the beg:innlng of an Action at a cost oft three squares from his. movement. ltthe. player has less thanlhree squares of movement, he must roll 4+ to stand up - iff he stands up successfully, he may not move further squares unless he Goes For It (see. Extra Rules p~ge 20). Failure to stand successfully for any reason is nota turnover.

SUBSTITUTES

A coach may not SUbstitute fit players for injured players or players that have .been senl oft while a drive is in progress. The only time that a coach may add reserves is when setllng up after a louchdown has been scored, or When selling up after half time or for overtime.

THROWING THE BALL

Oroe per turn a player ('InlMe moving team is allowed to make a Pass Action. The playerls. allowed to make a normal mov.e, and after he has completed the move he may throw the bali even if the receiver is In an adjacent square. Note that the player does not have to [be holding the ban at the-start of the Action; he could use his move to ruin over and pick up a ban on the groUind and then·throw it, for example.

THROWING

First ot all, the· coach must declare that the player is taKing. a. Pass Adion. The player can throw the ball to another player in his own team (or another player in the opposing team ·if he really wants to}, or simply to an emply square, though obviously the first of these options will be the most useful ~ and may keep him from being attacked by his own team rnernbersl The ball may on~y be passed once- per turn.

Next, the coach must measure the range using the range ruler, by placing the 0 at on end over the centre o~lhe square of the player throwing the ball, and the red line that rims up the centre of the ruler over the centre of tht:l square the ball is being throWn to. If the line between two passing ranges crosses any part of the receiving player's square, the higher range should be used. It is perfeclly acceptao.le to pre-measure the range to several players at any point during the 1hrowing player's. move before you declare 1he target of the pass. Once you have thrown the ball, however, you may not move the throwing player any farther that turn, even if he has spare MA left.

CATCHING THE BALL

If the ball lands in a square occupied by a standing player, then the player must attempt to catch the ball. Prone and S1llnnedi players may never attempt to Gatch the iball. Either team's players may attempt to catch the ball (If a player ffrom the other team manages to catch Ihe ball he can yell andjurnp around a lot).

Look up the player's Agility on the Agllity table to find the score required to sueoesefully catch 'the ball. Roll a D6, and add or subtract any of the modltlers jhat apply 10 the 06 roll. A roll of 1 before rnodificaflort always fails and a roll of 6 before modification always succeeds.

If !he final modified score equals or beals the required roll, then the player succeeds in Gatchingl the ball. Place the ball 00 the player's base to show that he has !laught it and Garry on with the tum. iff the player who ca,ught the ball has nol taken an Action yet, he may do so as normal. If the 06 roll is less than Ihe required total, then the player drops the ball and it will bounce (1'8e BoUncing' Balls, below}.

BOUNCING BALLS

If the ball is dropped or not caught, or the hall bounces 10 a, square with a Prone or Stunned player, or a player is pushed to or land's; in 'the ball's square, or the square Where a thrown ball lands is unoccupied (or is occupied by a Prone or Stunned player) then it will bounce. This is a Ieohnleal term for the thing jumping about all over the place while the players stumble about irying to grab it! To find out where the ball bounces to, roll for scatter one more time'. If the Iball bounces into an occupied square, then the player in the square rnust attempt to catch it, as described above. If the player fails to catchthe ball, then it wUI bounce again until it is either' caught or bounces into an empty square or off the pitch.

THROW-IINS

When a ball seatlers or bounces off the pitch it is immediately 1hrown back In by the eager spectators! Use the Throw-in template to work cUit where the ball goe·s, using the lasl square the ball crossed before going off as a starting point {see page 3 for how the Throw-in template is used.to fhrow-ln the ball 2d6 squares}. If the ball is throwninio a square occupied Iby a standing player, that player must attempt to catch the ball as described earlier. If the ball lands in an empty .sqaare or a .square occupied by a Prone or Stunned player, then it will bounce, iff a throw-in results in the ball going off the pitch again, it will be thrown in again, centred on the last square it Was in before it left 'the pitch. Throw-ins cannot be intercepted.

TURNOVERS

If a ball thrown by a player isn't caught by a player from the moving team, this causes a turnover and the mOVing! team's tum ends. The turnover does not lake place until the bali finally comes to rest This means that ifthe ball misses the target but is still caught by a. player from the' movlngl team, then a turnover does not take place. The bali could even scatter or bounce out of bounds, be thrown back Into an empty square, and as long as it was caught by a player from the moving team then !he turnover would be avoided!

BLOOD BOWL *

RIE-ROLLS

He-rolls are very Important in Blood Bowl, as you will. qUickly discover. There are two types otre-rclls: team re-rolls and player re-rolls. In eilher OCLSe, are-roll allows you .to re-rcll a,1I the dice that produced anyone result. So, for example, a re-roll could be used '"10 re-roll a dodge, in which case Ihe. singl.e dice rolled would be thrown again, or a three dice block, in which case all threeclce.would be rolled again ,and so on.

VERY IMPORTANT: No matter how many re-tells you have, or what Iypethey are, you may never re-roll a singie dice roll more than once.

TEAM IRE-ROlILS

Team re-rots represent how well trained a team is .. A coach may use a. team re-roll to re-roll a,ny dice roll (other than Scatter, Distance, Direction, Armour, Injury or Casualty rolls) made by a player on his own team arid Who is still on the pitch dl,lringi their own turn (even ii the dice roll was -suocessful). The result of the new roll must be accepted in place of the first, even if it Is worse. A coach may not use more Ihan one Ae-roll counter per tu rn, and may not use a Re-roli counter te.jorce !he opposing coach to reroll a dice. roll.

Each coach muet keep track of the number ou re-rolls he has, left on the' track provided on their Dugout. Every time' a coach uses up a team re-roll he' must remove a counter from [he trade When there are no markers left the coach may not use any more team re-rolls Ihat halt At half time the two teams get a chanceto rest and recUiperate, and so their 'team re-tells are restored to their starti ngl evel,

PLA YEIR R:E,-ROllS

Some pl.ayers have skills that all.ow them 10 re-roll the dice under certain oirournstanoes. For exernple, a, thrower has the Pass skill which allows him 10 re-roll the' dice if he misses a pass. A coach may use any number of player re-rolls in the same tum, and) a single player may use a skill any number oi times in the same match.' However; as noted above, a single dice roll may not be re-rolled more than once.

SKILLS

Many players are described as having one or more skiJIs. These are special abilities that modiiy the player's performance: Some skills allow dice re-rolls as described above, while others allow a play~r to carry out a special Action. A full description 01 each skill is given opposite, and reproduced on the oaclk of the quick reference sheet. The complete list ()iff skill.s is given later on in tMis book, for now stick with the skills listed here. You'll need to refer ,to the sheetquile a.lot during yourflrst iew games - but don't worry, the effects aNhe skills wiU become very familiar.

Block: The Block skill, iff llfsed, affects !he results rojled with the Block dice, as explained in the Blod<ing rules.

Catch: A player tha,t has !he Catch skill is allowed to re-tell Ihe dice if he fails 10 catch the ball. II you are using the Exira Rules printed later, then the Catch skill also allows the player to re-rojl the dice [f he drops a hand-of or fails to make an i nte rceptlon,

Do 019 e: A player with the Dodge skill is allowed te re-roa the 06 iff he falls to dodge out off an opposing player's tackle .ZOI)8. However, the player may only re-roll one failed Dodge roll per tum. So, iff the player ke!pt on moving arid talleda second Dodge roll, he could not use the slkill again. The Dodge skill also, if used, affects the results rolled with the Blockdlce (see IIie rules for Blocks).

P·ass: A player with the Pass skill is allowed to re-roj the 06 iIT he misses a. pass.

Sure! Hands:: A player with the Sure Hands skill'is allowed! to re-roll the 06 it he ffail:s to pick up the ball. In addition, if you are using the Exira Rules. printed later, an opposing player who has the Strip Ball skill may not Use it ag1ainst a player who has Sure Hands.

Many players' have skills such as Catch, Passetc, Unless stated otherwise in the skill description you never have to use a skill [ust because the player's got it, and you can choose to use a skill that affects a dice roll after rolling the dice. For example, you could say YOUI were going! to use the Catch skill either before or atler malking a catch 06 roll.

Some. skill.s are also used in the oppenent'sturn, In thlsease you may choose to Lise the skill etter an opposing player carries, out an Aotlon or moves a. square. If both coaches want to use a skill to affect the same Adion or move, then the coach whose turn is laking place must Use hi,S skill first.

Note that you can't 'gio back' in time and Use a s:~iII or re-roll to affect an earlier Aetton. For example, Jf a player was blitzing, you couldn't have him throw a block, move a couple otsquares, and then say "Actually, I think I'll use my Pro skilUo re-roll fhat block." ~ 'the skill Of re-roll must be used directly before or after the event it w.ill affect or not at all.

BLOOD BOWL *

WINNING THE MA'TCH

Blood Bowl is split into two halves of sixteen turns each (eight turns. per coach, per hail). Each coach IS responsible War keeping trac~ of hoW many turns his team has used, and must move the marker one space along the track provided on his Dugout at the start of each 01 his turns, as explained earlier. I"Ii':\Y .steps when both coaches have had eight turns each, giving the players the chanceot a much needed rest, and for the coaches to replenish the team's full complement of re-roll counters on the team re-ron track. Play restarts with another kick-off at the start of the second hall.

The team with the most louchdowns at the end off the lastlum ot the second half is the winner; iff the match is tied at the end of the second half it is declared a draw unless oath coaches agree to go into 'sudden deajh overtime.' Flip the Blood Bowl coin to see which coach chooses whoikicks-off, and then playa third series of" eight turns per team. Any re-rells still remaining at the end of the second Mali (inclulding re-rolls earned from KicK-oft events, Inducements or Speclal Play cards) are carried over and may be used in 'Overtime, but teams do not receive new allocations of re-tells as they normally would at the start of a neW hall. Theffirst learn to score wins the match, Iff neither team scores, then the match is decided by a. penalty shoot-out; each coach rolls a D6, high score wins, re-roll ties! Each unused team re-roll adds 1 to-the D6 score.

SCORING TOUCHIDOWNSIN YOUR TURN

A team scores a touchdown during their tum when one of their players is .standing in the opposing team's End Zone while holding the ball at the end 'Of a lily of your players' Actions. As soon as this happens, play slops, the crowd cheers and whistle,s and cheerleaders dance about waving pom-poms. The coaoh of the scoring team has our permission to leap about and cheer a bit too, While moving the score marker one . space along! the soaring track on the' Playing Pitch.

Any player may enter either End Zone at any time, even lu·he is not carryiligthe ball. If the ball lsthrown to him and he catches It, or he is able to piCK up the ball while in his opponent's End Zone, he scores a touchdown, Note, however, 1hat In order to score a. touchdown the player rnus] end his Action standing in the End Zone; if the player failed to make a Dodge roll, for example.iand thus Was Knocked Down in the End Zone then he would not score' a touchdown. Ii' a player from the moving team enters (Dr was already In) the opposing team's End Zone and has Or obtains the ball, !hen he may not vollJnla~ily leave Ihe End Zone for any reason -el.lJ.ring the same aelion nor may he hand-oft or pass the ball - he .isfar too intent on scoring !he touchdown himself!

SCORING IN THE, OPPONENT'S TURN

In some rare cases a team will score a touchdown in the opponent's turn. For example" a player holding the ball could [be pushed Into the End Zone by a block. If one oIT·your players is hokling the ball in the opposingl team's End Zone at any point dUlring YOlllr opponent'sturn then your-team scores a touchdown immedi<:(tely, but rnus·f move their Tum marker one space aklog the Tum trao!k to represent the extra time the players spend celebrahnq this. unusual method of scoring!

RESTARTING THE MATCH

After a touchdown has been scored, and at the start of the second half, play is restarted and the match contloues. Before the kick-off, however, each coach should roll one D6 for 'each KO'd player on his team. Ona roll of 4, 5 or 6 the player is Uit enough to return to play. but on any other result they must stay In the KO'cllboxin the Dugout.

Both coaches may then sel up anyfH players just as they did at the start ot the game. When play is restarted after a touchdown, the scoring team is alw~ys the one to kick OITf. At the start of the second helf.fhe Iklckingi team Is the one that did not kick off at the start of th efirst half.

In the rare event that one team has no players to.s!>t UlP after KO'd rolls, both teams' turn markers are moved forward along 'the tum track two spaces and if one learn couldfield at least one player then that team is awarded alouchdown {however no player receives Star Player points (see page 25) for this. lIT this takes the number oflumsto 8 or more .tor both tearns.dhen the h(d~ ends.lfthere are slill turns left In. the half, then continue playing as iIT a drive has jList ended (Le. olearjhe pitch and roll for KO'd players).

CONCEDING THE MATCH

You may choose to concede a match at. the start of 'One' off your own turns, before mOVing: the Turn marker alonglthe track, .

BlIYING PLAYERS

In order to create your team you have a treasury of 1,000,000 gold pieces. This represents the cash you have managed to r~ise 'from sponsors or by other, mere underhanded means to hire the players for your team. The first step in actually creating the team is to study Ihe team lists (see pages 71 to 77) and decide which you wanl to use. All of the players in your team must be from the same team list. So, for example, a High EH team may not include. Human players because these players come from a different team list

HaVing decided on which team lis I you will use, you must noW hire the players for your team, Each of the players in your team wiD cost a number of gold pieces, as indicated onthe lists. ThE) team lisi also indicates the maximum number ou each type OIT player you are allowed to take for your team. For example, a Human team may not have more than two Throwers. In addition, your team must have at least 11 players and may not have more than 16. Withiri these Jestriclions you may have any number and type of player, just so long as you have the cash to hire them.

TEAM IRE-ROLLS AND FAN FACTOR

When you create a team you do not ge.t anyteam re-rolls or Fan Factor tortree - you have to pay for themlrom your treasury, Each re-tell costs the number of g:old pieces shown on the team list for 1Me learn 'that you have chosen, and allows you -to re-roll one dice roll per half. If you've played any games usinq the core rules you will know just how important team re-rolls are, and ifis a good idea to take at least one or two for your team.

Your team's Fan Factor represents how popular the Jearn Is, and can have important etteets on the results you roll on the Kick-Oft 'table. All teams start with a Fan Factor of o. When you create your team, YOIl may purchase up to :9 additional Fan Factor tor 10,000 gold pieces each. Each point of Fan Factor your team has adds 10,000 to the team's value.

COACIHING STAFF

A team's coaching staff provides vital back-up to the team's players. Coachingi staff are never allowed on the pitch. They must stay on the sidelines during the match. Anyfeam may include iheto.I!owingl coaching staff on their rosier:

Head Coach (AKA 'The Manager' or (Da bosa')

This model represents you, and so does not cost any gold to hire -for the team. DUiring a match your main Job is to yell and shoult qt the p!ayers in your learn in order to inspire !hem and, more importantly, to yell and shout at the referee iIT he. makes a call against your team. None -of these things' have any direct eHed on the game (though they may intimidate your opponent). You may, if you wish, use a suitably impressive looking model to represent the Bloodi Bowl version of yourself!

Apothecary

An Apothecary is a healer wise In the ways of medicine and the healing arts Who looks atter the Injured. player.s in a Blood BOWl team ~ andso has a strenuous. and full-time job! It costs 50,000 gold pieces to purchase an Apothecary to permanently look after your team during a match. He may be represented by an appropriate Citadel miriiatulre if you wish. A team may not have more than one purchased Apotheoery, Khemri, Necromantic, Nurgle and Undead learns may not purchase or Use a~ Apolhecary.

During a match, an Apothecary may attempt to cure a player who has suffered a Cas.ualty or been KO'd. An ApolheGary can be used onlyonoe per match. It the player was KO'd leave him on the pitch S'iu nned , Of, if: he Was not on the pitch, put him In the Reserves· box. Otherwise immediately after lhe player suffers the Casualty, you can use the Apothecary to make your opponent foil again on the Casualty table (see page 25) and then you choose which of the two results to apply.

Tile Fans

A large number of spectators altend every game 01 Blood Bowl, some to support one team, some to support another. Oihers just come 10 enjoy the spectacle. The number supporting oneteam compared to the other can have a, [bIg effect onfhe outcome ou the game. To determine how many fans fum up to support you r team, roll,2D6 and add your Fan Factor to the total. Mil tuply the score by 1 ,000 to find the number of fans that have usrned up 10 support your team. For example, the Lowdown Ralz have a Fan Factor OIT 5, ,2D6 are rolled to see how many tans attend. The dice rolls are 2: and 6. Add' in the Fan Facloroi 5 ITor a iotal 0'1 13, which means that 13,000 rat tans have turned up for the match.

The number of fans supporting your team can easily affect which team Wins or' loses, Their cheers can encourage extraordinary efiortfrom your players or a well aimed rock'filled can of Bloodweiser from a tan can forever remove an opposing star. To represent the e·ffect the 'fans have on a, match, each team nasa Fan Advaniagie MbdiliEr (abbreviated 10 FAME) that can affect some off the results on the Kick-OIIT table and your winniilg,s'in the Post-9ame. If the. roll tor lhe total fans means that your learn is being supported by an equal number or fewer fans than the opposition,then your FAME forlhe match is zero. If you have' more fans attending the match than your opponent, your FAME is +1 for the match. In the exceptional case that your team has drawn in twice as many or more fans than your opponent, your FAME tor '!he match wUl be+2 instead.

2 Get tne Ref: The fans exact gru:esome revenge on the retereetor some OJ the dubious decisions he has made, either dUring! this match or in the past. His replacement is so intimidated that he can be more easily persuaded to look the other way. Each team receives 1 additional Bribe to use during this g~ame. A Bribe allows you to attempt to ignore one call by the referee for a player who has committed a foul to be sent ott, or a player armed with a secret weapon to be banned fromlhe match. Roll a 06: on a roll of 2-6 the bribe is effective (preventing a turnover if the player Was ejected forfoUlinQl), but on a roll of1 the bribe is wasted and the call still stands! Each bribe may be used once per match.

:3 Riot. The trash talk between two opposing players explodes and rapidly degenerates, involving the rest off the players. If the receiving team's tum marker is on turn 7 for the half, both teams move their turn marker [back one space as the referee resets the clock back to before the fight started. If the receiving team has not yet taken a turn this halt the reteree lets the dock run on duringl the fight and both teams' tum markers are moved forward one space. Otherwise roll a D6. On a 1-3, both teams' turn markers are moved forward one space. On a 4-6, both team's turn markers are moved back one space.

Perteot Detenoe: The kic~king team's coach may reorganize his players - in other words he can set them up again into another legal defence. The receiving team must remain in the set-up chosen by their coach.

5 High Kick: The ball is kicked very high, allowing a player on the receiving team time to move into the perfect posit jon to catch it. Anyone player on the receiving team who is not in an opposing player's tackle zone may be moved into the square where the ball will land no matter what their MA may be, as long as the square is unoccupied.

6

Cheering Fans: Each coach rolls a 03 and addis their team's FAME (see page 18) and the number of cheerleaders on their team to the score. The team with the highest score is inspired by their fans; cheering and gets an extra re-roll this half. If both teams have the same score, then lboth teams get are-roll.

Brilliant CoachIng: Each coach rolls a 03 and adds their FAME {see page 18} and the number of assistant coaches on their team to the score. The team with the highest total gets an extra team re-roll this half thanks to the brilliant instruction provided by the coaching stan, In case OJ a lie both teams get an extra team re-roll.

Quick Snap! The offence start their drive a fraction of time before the defence is ready, catching the kicking team flat-tooted. All of the players on the receiving team are allowed to move one square. This is a free move and may be made into any adjacent empty square, ignoring tackle zones. It may be used to enter the opposing halt OJ the pitch.

10

Blitz! The defence start their d rive a fraction of time before the offence is ready, catching the receiving team flat-tooted. The kicking team receives a free 'bonus' turn. However, players that are in an enemy tackle zone at the beginning off this free turn may not perform an Action. The lkicking team may use team re-rolls during a Blitz. If any player suffers a turnover then the bonus turn ends immediately.

Throw a Rock;' An enraged fan hurls a large rock at one of the players on the opposing team. Each coach rolls a D6 and adds their FAME (see page 18} to the roll. The fans of the team that rolls higher are the ones that threw the rock. In the case off a tie a rock is thrown at each team! Decide randomly which player in the other team was hit (only players on the pitch are eligible) and roll for the effects of the injury straight away. No Armour roll is required.

Pitch Invasion;' Both coaches roll a D6 for each opposing player on the pitch and add their FAME (see page 18} to the roll. Iff a roll is 6 or more after modiflcaflon then the player is Stunned (players with the Ball &. Chain skill are KO'd). A roll of 1 before adding FAME will always have no effect.

Blood Bowl players are a pretty hardy bunch, so it comes as no surprise that g~ames have been played in all types of weather conditions. From the ice floes off the farthest north to the steamy Jungles of l.usfria, arenas open their doors on match days, and the combatants go about their business heedless of the Glimate.

HANIDINGI-OFF

A hand-ott is when the ball is simply handed to another player, friend or foe, in an adjacent square. The Hand-Off Action is added to the list OJ Actions like Move, Block, Blitz and Pass. A coach may only declare one Hand-Ott Action per tum. A player may move lbefore performing the hand-off, but once he attempts to hand-off the ball, the player pertonnmq the Hand-Off Action may not move any farther that tum, even iIT he has spare MA left. The ball may not be handed otf in the opponent's turn. Iff the ball is handed oW and comes to rest without being caught by any member of the moving team, it causes a turnover.

No dice roll is required to see if the player attempting the handofff is successnrl ~ it automatically hits the targetedl player. However, the player that the ball is handed oW to must roll to see iff he catches the ball (see Catching the Ball on page 13). Use these modifiers for the Catch roll:

Catching a hand-off ~ 1

GOING FOR rn

When a player takes any Action apart trorn a Block, he may try to move one or two extra squares over and above the number that he is ormally allowed to move - this is called 'going tor it' or GFI. NOTE: if a rule refers to a player's 'normal movement' do not include the one or two 13FI squares.

Roll a 06 for the player after he has moved each extra square. On a roll of 1 the player trips up and is Knocked Down in the square that he moved to. Roll to see iIT he Was injured (see page 11). On any other roll the player moves without mishap. If the player is Knocked Down then his team suffers a turnover and their turn ends immediately.

A player that is taking a Blitz Action may 'go for it' in order to make a block, Roll a D6 for the player after declaring that he will make the block. On a roll of 1 the player is Knodked Down as described above. On any other roll the player makes the block without mishap. If the player is Knocked Down then his team suffers a turnover and the team's turn ends immediately.

This allows two or more attackers to. gang up on a single defender, or tor one or more detendersto aid a cornpaniorr.aqalrrst a block, These extra players each add +1 to. the Strehgthof the pi ayer they are assisting. Assisting a block does not Co.URt asan Action, -and a player can assist any number ot blocksper turn. A player is. allowed to. make an assisteven tt he has moved or taken an Action,

The attacking coach must declare iiany ot his. players will give an assist first, then the deiellding coach must add defensive assists with players from his team. In order to. make an assist,

INTERCEPTIONS AND FUMBLE,S

When a, player throws the ball various -things cerrqc wrong. Usually the ball will be slightly off target or will be dropped by the intended receiver, arid these eVe fits: are handled by the normal throwing rules. Sometimes, however, fhe. thrower may completely tumble the throw, dropping !he ball .inth-eir own square, or the ball may be intercepted! by an opposing player before 'it reaches the target square. Both of the-s-e events are handted by the new rules below,

Interceptions

One player on the opposing team may attempt to' Intercept a. thrown ba.lI. To be able 10 make an interception, the player must:

• have !he plastic Range Ruler pass over at least part of the square-the intercepting play is standing in, and ...

• have a tackle zone, and ...

• be closer to the lhrower than the throWer is to the target player/square of the pass, and ...

• be closer to the target playerlsquare orr the pass than the thrower is -tolhe target player/equare of the pass.

Note Ihal only one player can attempt an Interception, no matter how many are eligible. See page Sffar rules on how to measure distance with the Range Ruler to determine who is closer,

The coach must declare that one of his players will ·try 10 intercept be·fore the thrower rolls to see H he is on tarqet, Look up the player's. Agilily on the Aglilily table toffind the score required to successnrlly intercept the ball. Roll a 06, and add or subtract any of the modifiers that apply tothe 06 roll. A roll of 1 before modlncaflon always fails and a roll of 6 before. modification alWaYS succeeds.

ltthe final modified score is less than the required loial, then the player fails to intercept the ball and the pass can carry on as normal. If ihe .D6 roll equals or [beats the required ro!I,lhen the player succeeds ininlercepting and calching!ihe ball, Place the ball on the player's base to shoW' that he has> caught it. A successful interception cau-ses a turnover, and the moving team's tum ends immediately.

Sometimes a player attempting to throw the ball will drop it iri his own square. This is more likely if the player has any opposing players brea:thing down his neokl To represent this, if the D6- roll for a pass is 1 or less before or after modification, then the thrower has fumbled and dropped the ball. The ball will bounce once' from the thrower's square, and the moving team will sutter ajumover and their turn ends immediately.

Designer's' Note: Many coaches argue over the realism of rolling to intercept before rolling to pass. Like many rules in Blood Bowl It is en absfraction to make the game work better:

BLOOD BOWL *

Attacking opponents that have been Knocked Down is strictly against the rilles. However, despite the large number oi ways in which players can attack one another legally, many resort to the time-honoured tradition of kicking a man when he's down. The referee is supposed to spot and penalize players who Use such underhanded tactics but unfortunately, when something nasty happens on the pitch, the refs are often looking the other way andmiss the foul altog;ether. No wonder the referee is constantly harangued by the crowd!

Normally, players that are Prone or Stunned cannot be attacked. However, when you use this rule, one player per tum is allowed to take a Foul Action. This allows the player to move a number of squares equal to his MA and then make a i01i1 against an opposing player who is Prone or Stunned and in an adjacent square. The coach nominates the victim, and then makes an ArlnoUlr roll for him. Other players that are adjacent to the victim must assist the player making the ioul, and each extra player adds 1 to the Armour roll.

Defending players adjacent to the fouler must also give assists to a player that is being iouled. Each defensive assist modifies the Armour roll by -1 per assist. No player from either side may assist a foul if he is in the tackle zone off an opposing player, does not have their tackle zones, or is not standing. lt the score beats the victim's Armour value then he is injured and a roll is made on the Injury table to see what has happened to him.

The Referee

Referees do occasionally spot a player malking afoul and send him off the pitch, although this is quite a rare occurrence {how would you like to tell a flve-toot wide Black Ore Iblocker that he's out off the match?!?}.

To reflect this, ii the Armour and/or Injury roll is a doubles (l.e., two 1 s, or two 2s, etc), the referee has spotted the foul, and the player taking the Fouj Action is sent off to the dungeon that lies under every Blood Bowl pitch. In addition, his team suffers a turnover and their turn ends immediately. If the sent off player Was holdingl the ball, the ball bounces from the square he Was standingl in when sent off. A player who is sent to the dungeon is locked up and may not play for the rest of the match, even ii the referee is subsequently 'got' by the crowd as a result of a roll on the Kick-Oif table. A coach may not replace a player who has been sent off until after the drive ends.

This section oi the rules includes lots more skills for players to use. The specific rules for each skill can be fOlllnd on pages S3 to 68 .. Each entry also lists which category the skill belongs to (i.e. Passing, General, Mutation, etc). A skill's category affects which players can access it, as described later on in the rules for Blood Bowl leagues (see pages 26 and 27). Unless otherwise s1ated In ~he skill d:escrlptlon, the f·ollowlngl rules apply to all sklHs:

11. All bonusessrnodlflersfrorn skills can be combined.

2. Skills may be used an unlimited number of times per Action.

3. Some skills refer to pushing a player back in order to work. These skills will wonk as long as -you roll a result off 'Pushed', 'Defender Stumbles', or 'Defender Down' on the Block dice.

4. Skill use is not mandatory.

5. You can choose to use a skill that affects a dice roll after rolling the dice (e.QI., Diving Tackle does not need to be used until after seeing the result off the Dodge roll).

S. Only Extraordinary skills work When a player is Prone or Stunned.

7. A skill may only be taken once per player.

BLOOD BOWL LE,AGUES

Any experienced Blood Bowl coach will tell you that while one-off games may betun, running a team over fhe course of a series of games is far more exciting. Not only do YOui have to worry about the tactics that your team will use in a sin~le game, but you can also watch your team develop and grow into a real powerhouse to rival even the mighty Reikland Reavers orthe. Gouged Eye. Running a Blood Bowl team in a, league does: create extra work and calls uor quite a 101 of commitment, but iff you wanl 10 have the gklfY au leading! your team through along season to the Blood Bowlflrral ifseiu, then the League rules are for you!

Games are played in stadiums, owned either by the Colleges of Magic or by Ia,rge lowns. or cities .. They are not normally owned by Blood Bowl teams mernselves, though 'Some teams do own their own stadiurns (il,g., the Heikland Reavers}. Instead, learns travel round the Old World, moving from stadium to stadium and playingl matches against· any teams. theymeet. The League rules are designed to recreate the way Blood Bowl learns travel round the Old World, movingl from venue to venueto play games. In a way, the teams are much more like a. travemng company OIT actors, or a mercenary regiment, than the Blood Bowl teams of' Nikk Three-hom's days~. Because off this anarchic setup, it is lip. to each team manager 10 organize matches, set dates for games, and so on.

In order to set lip Ihe league the' first thing you need to do is pick the' 'League Commissioner,' who' should ideally be fhe most experienced ooach in !he group. The Commissioner has the responsibility of making sure that Ihe league runs smoothly, ana, most imp.onantly, organising any teurnarnents thai are played. The Commissi.oner can also keep track of how well all the teams are doingi,arid can even Write a newsletter featllring match reports, leag,ue tables ,f<acts and stats, and anything else he, Can think of! The Commissioner can IDe a coach of a team in the league, too, jus! so long as he doesn't take advantage of the situation to help his team win any tournaments.

In a leaglue, the Commissioner's word is LA.W. He is allowed to change or rnodlty any of the Blood Bowl rules as he sees fit, inclu!ding any of the League Rules thatfoll9W. In the immortal words ot fellow !j'ame designer Tuornas Pirinen: If the league Commissioner saysltiat· DwarfS can now· fly, your 'reply must be 'Yes Sir! How high?' If you don't like !he way a commissioner runs his league, you have two cholees: put up with it, or leave the league. Arguingl with the commissioner is NOT an opUon. 'Nuff said, I hope.

STARTING THE LEAGUE

A league consists of a. group off teams (preferably at least four] Who will play each other (and maybe other teams) over the course of a series of games. EXis1ing Leag:u€s set up under earlier versions of the Blood Bowl rules can easily change over to the: new league rules; coaches simply need to work out the value ot lhe team as described later, and start using lhe ne·w team lis.t presented on pages 71 to 77. Any team rosters that are not 'Iligal' under the new rules. can carryon using the players' that are in the team, but any replacements, should be purchased from the new rosters ..

You can start playing league matches as soon as all the coaches taking part in the league have created their teams. It is up to the teamf/coaches to organize any matches that Ihey play. A team can playas often as a coach likes, assuming thai he can find enouqh opponents, of course! The only restrictlon Is thai a team may not-play against·the same opponent more than two matches in a row. This meansthat a coach can play two games against the same opponent, (roughly a full evening's play), but the next match must be against a. different team.

Itthe· Commissioner decides; to allow it, coaches may run one or 'more teams al the sarne time, Obviously, this will mean that each individual team will play fewer games, as ·the coach's time will have to be split between the different teams he has in his stable, A coach may not swap gold, players or anything else between the teams that he runs. For example, he may not make a.tspeclal loan' from one of hi~ teams to another, or swap players between the teams, and so on. Note; that a coach can carry oul such acllons between one of his: learns and a learn rim by another coach (assuming me other coach AND the league commissioner agrees, of coursel), he jllSt can't do illb:etween two 01 his own teams.

TEAM ROSTE.R

Before you can start playing league matches, each coach must create a ·team as explained on page 16. This is where the columns thai were previously unused come in. They include a number of columns and rows for recording important information that yoU! will need to know when you are running a league team. How these extra rows and columns are used Is explained in the rules that-follow.

Treasury

Each coach begins the league with a treasury off 1,000,000 gold pieces with which to buy his learn. Any gold that is not spent should Ibe .recorded in the team's treasury and may be spent after any futul'E;l match. A coaoh must keep track 01 how much gold his team has in its, treasury by record.ing the amount on his 1eam roster.

24

BLOOD BOWL *

Team Value

In League matches the 'value' of a team affects whether 'it receives inducements for playIng, a match (see page 28) and if tI suffers from Spiralling Expenses (see page 29). The value of a team (often abbreviated to 'TV') is worked out: by adding! up the value of the players that will play for the team in its next match, inclulding extra value from improvements, to the cost of coaching staff, team re-rotls, and Fan Factor. Record the value of you:r team in the appropriate space onfhe team roster. Note, that gold in the treasury and any players that are missing the, game due to injury do not eount towardislhe Team Value.

Match R,ecords

On the back of the team roster sheet there is a Match Record Chari for recording inf:ormalion about the ga..mes that the team has played. Keep a record of the matches played by the team here. The coach should record the name' off the opposition, the score and number of casualties'inflioled by eaoh team, as wen as the total tans and match winnings, and any brief notes about the game.

INJURIES

Blood Bowl 'is. a rough and dangerous sport, and players are often injured Or killed while playing the game. Many Blood Bowl players' sport scars from old inju.ries, while some have lost eyes, ears, noses and even Whole limbs! Although most injuries can be reeoveredtrorn given a bit offirne, some are so serious. that they can permanently affecl a player. In one-off games this Is not important ~ all you need to know is thai the player is off the pitch for the rest of the game! ~ ibut ina, league it is vital to know exactly wha1 type of injury a player has suffered. This is where the Casualty table comes in.

If a player suffers a Casualty because a 10 or more Is rolledl on the lnjurytsble, then the opposing coach rolls on the Casualty table. The dice scores on the Casually table run from 11 through to 68. Assuming· that you don't have a 68-sided dice '(not many people do), you need to roll a normal six-sided dice and the eight"sided dice used to scatter the ball. The six-sided dice counts as tens, so a score 01"2=20,4=40 etc, and the eight-sided dice counts for the units, so a score oi 3=3, 5=5, etc. Then put the numbers together to get a score frornt l to 68. For example, iy you rolled a '2' on the six-sided dice and a '3' on ihe eightsided, dice, then you woulkl get a. score of 23.

Having made Ihe dice roll, look up the result on the Casualty table. The table lists eXactly what has happened to the player, and describes any special ,effects the iiljury may have. The majority of the results ,simply cause the player to miss the next match, though some, have more long-lasting effects, The coach of the player that sutfered the injury should make a note of the effect of the sertous injury on his leam roster.

IMPROVEMENT ROLLS

As players earn more Star Player points they go up in levels OIT experience arid make lmprovement rolls. All playe'rs s.larl out as Rookie's With no Star Player points. Once a player has earned 6 points he becomes 'Experienced' and is entitled to his first Improvement roll. Each time that the player goes lip another level he Is entitled to another Improvement roll. The Star Plq:yer Points table lists the number of Star Player pointslhat are requited to reach each different level~ .. .

New Skills

On any Improvement roll you may choose to take a skill from the Nonnal skill categories permitted tor thai player. The Normal skill categories: allowed for each player areffound 01'1 pages 71 10 76. For example, a HUman Catcher could take a s~ill from Ihe list OIT General Skilis or Agility Skills. Remember to record the new skill on the team roster, Skills may never be removed from a. player.

Characteristic Increases

An Improvement table roll of. 10-12 will increase one of the player~s characteristics. The entry will list the characteristics "lhat may be improv.ed ~ s'imp~y pick one and record the new value on the learn roster, Alternatively, the coach may choose to 'teke a new skill instead, as described in the previous paragraph. N.o characteristic may ever be increased by more than 2 points over its startingr value. or to a value greater than 10. Any additional increases must be taken as new skills instead.

Rolling Doubles

If the Improvement Roll is a double (e.gl., 1,1 or 2,2 etc}, you may ignore the result OJ the Improvement table (even if it Was a characteristic increase) andtalke a skill from any skill category that this player can access from either the Normal or Double column (see pages 71 to 77}. For example, a Human Catcher could take a skill from the General, Agility, Strength or Passing skill categories on a double roll.

Improvements & Pls.yer Values

Every player has a value. This amount is recorded when they are hired. As they get better (gain skills or characteristic increases) their value increases. To reflect this, whenever a player rolls on the Improvement table, their value must be increased on the team roster by the amount shown on the table below, Note:

Injuries the player suffers that reduce a characteristic do not reduce the value of the player.

PLAYING LEAGUE MATCHES

League matches have their own sequences of' play, which involves some pre-match and post-match action, as well as the actual game. Follow this; sequence for each league match you play, including .anytownament matches.

1. Pre·Match Sequence

1 . Roil on Weather table

2. Transfer Go.ld from Treasuryto Petty Cash

3. Take Inducements

2. The Match

1. Work out the number of Fans and FAME (see page HI)

2. Receiving Team's Turn

3. Kld<ing Team's, TUrn Etc ...

3. Post-Match Sequence

1. Improvement Rolls

2. Update Team Rosier'

P'RE-MATCH SEQUENCE OF PLAY

The pre-match sequence must be used before every league match that is played. The sequence Is split Into three separate steps Iha.l are described below:

1. The Wea.ther

Both coaches roll a 06 and add the results together and consult the' Weather table (see page 20) to see what the. weather will be like for the match.

2. Transfer Gold from Treasury to Petty Cash

Both teams at this point may transfer gold piece's trorn their team treasury inlo peUy cash. Petty cash may be used during the current match to purchase inducements and adds directly to the team value anhe team tor: Ihis: match. The team with the highest· team value must declare how much gold heJsfransterrinqjnto petty cash first.

3. Inducements

Teams thai are ala disadvantag,e'are often given 'inducements' to play that will help even the odds. Usually this fakes. Iheform of extra gold, offered by the stadium owner to help convince a team to take part in a match against a superior opponent (and thus allowin91 the stadlurn owner to recoup his losses arid more through tic.kets sales and rnerchandlsel).

To represent: this, an underdog in a match may be given a certain amount of gold that can be used to buy things for the ·Ieam to help them in the upcoming match. The. amount 01gol0 the te.am receives is equal 10 the difference between the total value of the ulriderdo.g team and the total. value of the opposing team. For example, if one coach had a team worth 1,000,000 gold pieces while. his opponent had a learn worth 1 ;250,000 gold pieces, then the fir's:t coach wouldl be allowed to spend 250,000 gold pieces on Inducements: Any ot jhe g;old that Is not spent on Inducements is lost and may not be added to the team treasury, In addition, either coach may Use gold from their petty' cash to purchase Inducements. If fhe superior opponent wishes to purchase lnduoernents with gold from his Petty Cash, he must do so befo:re the underdog purchases any of his inducements. Inducements are selected from thl" foliowinQllist:

• Bloodweiser.Babes (0-2)'" 50,000 gold pieces

• Bribes (Q-3} - 100,000 gold pieces

• Exira. Team Training (O-4) - 100,000 g;oldl pieces

• Haifling Master Chef (0-1) - 300,000 giold pieces

• IQlor (0-1) -100,000 gold pieces

• Mercenaries (Unlimited} - Various prices'

• Star Players (0-2.) ... Various prices

• WanderingJ Apothecaries (0-2) - 100,000 gold pieces

• Wizards (O-1) - 150,000 gold pieces

Detailed descriptions of these inducements can beffollnd on pages 69 and 7Q. Note that limitations and special rules from the team !iffits apply. As, some coaches carilakea very 10l1g time deciding which Inducements; to take, there lsa uOllir-minute time limit onselecling them.

All inducements purchased are lost at the end OU the match. No inducement can ever become a permanent part of your team.

28

BLOOD BOWL *

POST-MATCH SEQUENCE

You must go thrQugh the following two steps after each and every league match thai you play:

1. Improvement Rolls

In league matches it is possible for players to eam Star Player points whioh may gilVe them Improvement rolls at the end of the match. This phase is usedby each coach to allocate MVPs, update the Star Player pointSithe players in his team have earned, and make any Improvement rolls,

2. Update 'Team Roster

This phase is used to make sure that both teams' rosters are up to date and filled In correctly. Players and coaching s:taff may be hired and Uireq, and any notes or points of speelalinterest can Ibe recorded on the team roster at this lime. There are spaces on the back of the roster that can be used to keep a record of the results ou the matches that a team has played. By the' way, although most Blood BOWl coaches will stoop to using almost any underhanded! tactic in order to win a game; falsifying a team rosier is such a heinous crime that no right-thinking coach should even consider doingl such a.thingi. Enough said, I hope. Carry oufthe fol!owing steps to. Update. the roster.

1. Delete any players that have. been killed fromlhe roster, and record .any changes 10 a. player's value for improvements.

2. Generate' winning_sfor the- match. Each coach rolls a D6 and adds. his team's FAME (see page 18). The team recelvesthls amount.x 10,000 gold pieces as winnings for the match. 1ft you Won or' tied the match you receive an additional 10,000 gokl pleoes, If you won the match you mayalso choose 10 re-roll your D6, but you must accept the second result even if it is worse thanlhefirst. Remember that teams that concede a match do not receive any winni ngs.

3 .. Any gold leIt In petty cash Is transferred back 10 treasury and then each coach Imust n0W pqy for spiralling expen.s'Bs (as described later}lhrough goldi inireasury. Note: at this point the team will nat yet have. updated the team value from the value calculated after step 2 oflMe Pre-Match Sequence (pagie 2S).

4. If a coach lost or tied the match he should roll 2D6. The winning coach should roll 3d6. If a coach won or tied the match and his roll is grreater than his team's current Fan Factor then hil> team's Fan Factor increases Iby one point If the' coach lost or tied the rnaioh and his roll is less than histeam's current Fan Factor'jhen his team's Fan Factor decreases by one point.

5. Eaoh coach must decide inhey wish 10 spend any 90!d in the team treasury to buy neW players and coaching staifil, andVor let go (t.e., tire) any team re-rolls , players, or coaohing staH who are no longer wanted. Howeve.r,the team does not get any gold back for leiting them go! In 'addition, each coach can choose to spend gokl 'ulUm their treasury to increase. hls team's re-rolls. Adding a re-roll costs double the amount shown on the team list, but only adds the basic (un-doublec) cost to the total value of the team.

6. If a team has any Joumeymen (see step 7 below) on the roster. .!h(l ooaeh must either rrire them from Ihe team or you may permanentiy hire them by paying their rookie cost, Note. that a team must have less than 16 players on its roster to hire

Journeymen. lIT hired, a. Joumeyman loses the Loner skill but may retain any Star Player points he earned or skills learned from Improvement table rolls.

7. If a team can only field to or less players, for the next match, the team may bring Journeymen onto the rostertor free until the team can field 11 players tor the next match. A Jo'umeyman Is alwavs a' player ft:om ,a 0-16' or 0'-12 allowed pos.ltl'On on .the team's roster . .He counts his normal rookie cost towards the total team '/larue, but has the t.one« skill as .he is not usea to playing with rhe: team. .Joumeymen may lake the Iotal players on the team {inciudiMginjured players} to more than 16 at this point.

8. Work out the total va,lue of the team and record it on the roster. The value of a. team is worked out by a.doing up the value of the team's players (including] exira values for improvements), support sian, team re-rolls, and Fan Factor. Do not inclUde the value of gold in your treasury or any players that will be forced to miss their next match due fo injury.

SPIRALLING EXIPENSIES

Successful teams can be worth a Iorkme as their players improve and lhe squad grows. During the early days of Blood Bowl the Dar~ Elf team, Territying Anarchists of Nagglaroth, WeII'? reputed to be worth In excess o~ 7,000,000 gold pieces I However as wages and other team expenses lncrease, a bigger proportion of the team's winnings .glet devoted to just paying the bills rather than being avallable jor additional purchases.

Once a team's value equals or exceeds 1,750,000 gold pieces ·it must deduct the amount shown on the Spiralling Expense.s lable trom its treasury. Spiralling expenses are deducted at the end QIT the match during step 3 of updating the team rosier. Spiralling expenses can never reduee a team's treasury to less than zero.

CONCEDING

A coach that concedes (see page 15) before setting up for a kick-off where he could only field 2 or less players suffers no addifional penalties. If one coach concedes the- match for any other reason then the Winner gains: all of the loser's winnings. and MVP .frorn this match. In addition, the loser automatically loses one Fan Fador and may not roll for Ii neW one, and any players in the loser's team that have 51 SPPs or more will leave the 'team on II. D6 roll of 1-3. Roll separately for each player with 51 or more SPPsto see il they leave,

TOURNAMENTS

For a short period [ollowing the collapse 01 the NAF there Were no tournaments or competitions at all. Teams simply played 'one-eft' games tor Whatever prize they Gould get: It Was nat long, however, before the Cabalvision networks and major Blood Bowl sponsors got together and started arrang'ingtaurnaments With largie prizes tor the teams that managed to battle their way through to the final. Four tournaments qu.!Cl<ly established themselves as the most important and eagerly anticipaled Blood BbWI events of the year, and Were soon Ibeing referred to as the. 'Major Tournaments' or simply the 'Majors.' These tournaments were the Chaos Cup, the Dungeonbowl, the Spike) Magazine Trophy tournament, and, OIT course, the Blood Bowliffielf.

The Majors are held at roughly three-month Intervals OVer the. year. The Chaos Cup is held in the spring, the Blood Bowl tournament is held in the summer, and then the Spike! Magazine tournament is held in the autumn. The Dungeonbowl is held dllring 1I1e dark winter rnonjhs, When most teams appreciate playingl in nlce.warrn underground stadiums rather than outln the iree.z:lng cold. There are exceptions Q1 course - most Norse teams acrually prefer sub-zero conditions, while the Ice Lord team of Frost Giants can't take part in the Dungeonbowl tournament at all because theywouid melt In the warm underground s,tad'ium!

At ·the end oi each season ·tearris gather to decide who wins the trophy. Each tournament is held at a different location. The Blood Bowl is held al the huge Emperor stadium at Altdorl, and the Spike! Maglal'ine tournament in the seaside' resort town of Magri1ta in Esta,lia. The DUngeonboW'1 Is held In the DWarf underground stadium at Baralk-Varr (the upkeep for which is paid, at huge expense and much 10 Ihe Dwarfs' delight, by the' Colleges of Mag:io). The location of !he. Chaos Cup tournament changes from year to year, and it is rare, for anyone to ~now where it will be heid until a Wee,k or two betore the event starts! Nol sUlrprisingly this Can make if very' difficult ior teams to attend the. Chaos Cup, because if '1he'y are hot inlhe right general vicinity when the ·tournament is announced then it may be impossible for them to gel there in time to take part!

SIEASONS & TOURNAMENTS

To represent this schedule, all Blood Bowl leagues traditionally have. seasons that end ... lith a tournament. The League Commissioner has ihe responsibi.liiy of settlngi up and runnIng the seasons and tournaments for his league. He will need to let his coaches know how long the season will run for, and how al")Y ene-ot-season tournament will be run.

Ii coaches meet frequently and can play at leasl one-two ga,mes a week, a three month season based on the 'real" Blood Bowl wond system should work well. If your league meets less frequently, it should consider hal(ing a.longier season. As a rule oi thumb, a season needs to be long. enough 'for coaches to reasonably be expected to be able to play about a dozen matches.

At ·the end ou the season the LeaglJe Commissioner will need to decide which learns will compete. In any end-or-season

'tournament, how lies are to be broken, how the ·tournament will be run, and! what prize, the winner outhe tournament will receive. Typically there are two serni-flnal matchesfollowed by a iinal. rnducement and treasl:llry gold IIl1!ay not be used to induce Star Players or lMerce;na~les, for these metehes as the NAF, while not monitoring day to day giames on !he road to ·Ihefinals, enforces usingl your own team for these lrnpcrtarrt rnatchesl

There are a number off ways of deciding who will play in the semHinals. The simplest (though probably not the fairest) me·thod is to use the four teams: that nave the highest value in the leag,ue. A simple, variant of !his method is to use the four 'teams with 1I1e highest win ratio, or 'to multiply a team's value by 'lts win ratio and then pick the four highest rated teams. You can work out the Win-loss ratio by dividingl the number of games the team has won by the number lt has played. So, for example, a team that had a value of 1,800,000 gold pieces that had won 5 orr its 10 rnajches, giVing it a win ratio 0150%, WOUld! be 'worth' 50% of 1 ,8QO,000, which equals 900,000 gold pieces.

Another method is to have a 'play-olf' period at the end of the regular season. Any coach can enter the play-otts, but must agree to play matches, to a. schedule set by the League Commissioner. The commissioner must work out a schedule.ot matches, and a scoring or elimina.tion system thatwill reduce the starling teams down to four contenders fhat will 'then take part in the semi-finals. There are lots. and lois oi ways to orglanise the play-offs. from .stralqht knock-out events; to more complicated atiairs that have a group stage 'first, such as that used nor the soccer World Cup. There are many real-life tournaments thai a leag.ue's. play-off system Can be modelled aUer. Use the system that seems best for your Blood Bowl leaque, The League Commissioner will need to decide if inducements are allowed in the play·-otls or not.

Finally,. a League Commissioner can decide to run the regular season as a leaque with scheduled matches (like the FA Football League in England and Wales). Teams Score points depending on how well they do in matches (typically 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss, thouigh 5 for a win, 3 for a draw, and 1 tor a loss is a popular allernatlve}. At the end of the season the four teams with the most league: points get to go to the semi-finals. Whatever method chosen, 1he four teams thai make it through to the semi-finals are matched into Iwo pairs Iby random draw. The two winners of. the semi-final match then. go through to the lDig iinal, and the Winner ot the' final will receive a trophy (see the Glittering Prizes section on thIs page).

League Challenges

It is possible for coaches to exclude powerful tearne from the seml-uinals by rl?,fusing to play any grames ag:ainst them during the league season or the play-offs. To stop this underhanded and quite despicable practice, any coach is allowed to issue a written challenge to an opposing coach to playa match. A coach may make a maximum of one written challenge per week. The challenge is given to the league ocrnrnlssloner, who passes it on to' the challenged coach and get5: his response. A challenged coach must make one ou the ~ollowing ·three responses within.a day of reoeiving the dialleng.e:

* Accept:.A challenged coach may ag:ree to play the match, and the two teams play the match as normal.

* Re~use: A challenged coach may refuse 1.0 play the match. This counts as a.2-0 win for th

e challenger. No Star Player points, cash or Fan Factor are gained or Iostfor·the malch.

* Substl1ute: A challeng

eo coach may ask any other coach that is willing 10 lake his place to play the match lnstead, The subeftute coach must be takingl par! In the' tournament, and must not have played. agla.inst fhe ohal!erig.er so far: If he does this then the ohaJleriginglooa.ch must play the' substitute, or c

oUlnt as having lost the malch 0-2.

THE GUTTERI NG PRIIZES

Although the glory of winning a major tournament trophy is considered by many learns reason enough to take part, most teams are motivated as much (iff not more) by the chanoe qIT winning the big cash prize that the sponsors of the tournament ofuer the winners. There are also ofrlen additional 'I ring:e , benefits lor the winners, of a major tournament, such as lucrative sponsorship deals or speolal prizes.

To represenl jhls ·the teams laking part in an end of season 'tournament receive the following benefits:

1} Thetotal fans and the winnings for a semi-final orfinal are doubled,

2} The winner off a Major Tournament always receives a speGiai 'trophy. So long as a. lea,m holds a trophy it has an additlonal team re-roll, The re-roll counts toward the team's value, as normal. A trophy Is held by a team until the next time IIial specific Major Tournament is completed at whloh point it is given to the new winner.

3} League commissioners may allow additional 'fringe benefits' for winning' a. particular trophy, if they see fit. It is up to the cornrnlssioner to determine what these benefits should. be.

OPTIONAL LIEAGUE RULES

N01 ~very league will find the same set-up as enjoyable as another league. The League Commissioners role is to find'the best match 01 rules tor the ooaohes in his league. Theffollowing are recommended changes, to the rulestor leagues presented in pages, 24 to 29 orr this handbook for commiss:ioners 10. consider using in their own leaglles.

Awardillilg the Most Valuablle Pliayer durling tl1!ePos't-Game Instead o.t using the rules lor Mo.st Valuable Player on page 26, the following tw.o. options are oftered as replacement text for the first sentence:

1) One player from each team, chosen by his coach, is awarded a Most Valuable' Player award at the end of the match.

2) At the end of 1he match, one randornly selected player eligible to play during thiS match thai was not induoed and has not been removed from the learn by death by the end of the match is awarded a Mo~t Valu,able Player award.

Sp iraljl:ll1lgE:xpense tM:odlfic.atlons

There are lots otdltferent leagues" all of Which have dilferent cost bases endrevenue streams so a commissioner should 'feel 'free. both to alter the breakpoint {1,750,OOO g:old pieces} and the step size (150,000 gold pieces) for the Spiralling Expense rules on page 29 to suit his own league. For example, Ihe small Albion domestic leagl:le' has a breakpoint of 1,250,000 gold pieces and a step size ot 100,000 gold pieces, the' wealthy imperial Premiership has a breakpoint of a massive 2,500,000 gold pieces and step size of 250,000 gold, pieces, while the Naggaroth Open has a break point of 2,000,000 gold pieces and a .step size of 50,000 gold pieces.

E;xcludlng Ilndlilcements iln Leaglile P,l!ay

A commissioner is allowed to remove any specific inducement(s}, from the list orr allowed inducements on page 28 that he neels does not work tor his league environment. Common inducements thai might be exolucedlnolude disaUowing Star Players imdilor the Wizard.

Using Ill1Iducements iln On:e-ottlNol1l-leagllLle TOlilmamenrtPlay Commissioners ofr' one-off games can choose to alloW inducements to ibe purchased as a permanent part of each learn's roster. The .comrnlssioner shoulo be clear Which inducements are allowed and which are not. For example, a commissioner could! specify for an upcoming event thai the Inducements options for Star Players, Bloodweiser Babes, Wandering Apothecerles, Igor, the Wizardl and the Master Chef will be allowed as purchasable permanent co mpon ents of the team for an matches played dUTing !he event, but that no other inducements can be purchased as a permanent pari otihe.tearn.

Special PI:ay Ca!rds

The seven Special Play Card decks represented on pages 55 to 62 are for commissioners to use to add some unexpected and fun elements to the game to \iIIhatever degree Is desired.

Each OJ the seven decks has a purchase price to draVil one card at random from that deck, For example for 100,000 gold pieces a coach may draw at random one of the 26 cards fro.m the Good Karma deck. Once randomly drawn a card, the card's result may be concealed until played Ibut the card may not be exchanged or

traded for another card. Additional gold may be paid to draw another card from the same deck or troma different-one.

In order 10 make the. cards easiiy available to any league that chooses to use Ihem, the-card decks are o~af1ized so thai two decks of standard playing cards can be used 'to create all seven decks. Each card has 4 areas to explain iis eftect.

Name: The name ot the card and the playing card thai would represent this card.

Description: Describes the event the, card repre-sents.

liming: Specifics. as to exactly when, and only when, the card can be plaYed.

Effect: The eWed the card has on the game when played.

There are three methods recommended for a commissioner to choose tram tor using the Special Play Cards in his leaglJe'.

1) The Special Play Card decks are added 10 the list OIT Inducements Ihat each coach may purchase on page 28. Special Play Cards' should be limited to no more than 5 total draws from all the decks.

2)The Special Play Card decks are used in replacement of the Inducements listed on page .28. Special Play Cards should be limited to no rnor,e'lhan5 total draws from all the decks; '

3) Special Play Cards cannot be used as Inducement purchases. Each coach is instead g;iven beiween50,OOO and :201D,OOO gold pieces (cornrntsslcner's choice} useable solely for !he purchase of Special Play Cards at the start of each match. This gold cannot be carried over beyond the current match and 'is in addition to any Inducement gold received by the, learn for this game.

Note: If a league uses bolh the Special Play Cards and lhEl Inducement System on page 28, coaches should be allowed to purchase Special Play Cards and see which card{s) they draw before purchasing any other inducements.

free tFan !Fa.ctolr

Instead ot using the rules ~m purchasing Fan Factor on page 16, the league may have Fan Factor be free. All teams under this rule would start with a Fan Fac.tor ot 5 tor no cost. Fan Factor never 'adds 10 a, team's value and changes in Fan Fa.otor from Post-game rolls do not atteot team value.

,Addll::ional Cash for Short Term Leagrues

The league rules are designed! for long term development. If a leaque runs short seasons before resetting, it could consider giVing a 10,000 gold piece winning bonus for losing! and 20,000 for ties/winning or doubling the FAME rnodlfier for the winnings roll {or both of these depending on the rate of growth deslred.)

INDUC'EMENTDESCRIPTIONS

0-2 BJoodwefser Babes: The team purchases a Keg of extraspecial Bloodweiser magic ale tor 50,000 gold pieces, and gels a lovely lady to serve players before .gioing out for each drive. The combinalkm of the ale and the young lady serving il means that for each purchase of this lneucement, players on the learn gain a oF 1 modttlerto recover trorn KO'd for this match.

O-S Bribes; Goblin teams may buy a bribe for 50,000 gold pieces; any other learn can buy a bribe for 100,000 gold pieces. Each bribe allows a team 10 attempt to ignore one call !Dy the' referee for a player who has commttled a loul to be sent oft, or a player armed with a secret weapon to be banned from the match, Aoll a D6: on a roll of 2-6 (he bribe Is effective (preventing a turnover if the player was ejected for [ouling), but on a roll of 1 the bribe is wasted and the call still stands! Each bribe may be used once per match,

0-4 Extra Team nalnlng: Each extra team training session costs 100,000 .gold pieces and ailows Ihet~am to take one. extra Team re-roll that may be used for this match only.

0-1 Halfllng Master Chef. Hatfling teams may hire a HalITling Master Chen for 100,000 gold pieces; any other team can hire the Chet for 300,000 gokl pieces. Roll 3D6 anhe start of each haH to see what eijeet the chefs cooking has on the team. For each dice that rolls 4 or more, 'the. team i:;; so inspired that they gain a Team He-roll, and in addition, the opposing team is so dlsfraeled by the fantastic cooking smells emanailng from their opponent's dug-out thalthey lose a Team Re-roll (but.only if they have any le'ft to lose).

0-1 Igor: Any team that cannot purchase a permanent Apolhecary can hire an Igor [or 100,000 90ld pieces to assist the team. An igor is a master off needle and thread on rotling! flesh, connecting hip bone to leg! bone, rewrapping funeral wraps and So on. He can really get the boys shambling back to the pitch. An Igor may only be used once per a game to re-ro] one failed Regeneration roll for a player.

UnllmJted Mercenaries: For every player sarre·!y ,employed by a team there are dozens of freelance players who play just one game with a team and then move on. These are !he stars who didn'l qulte make it and the cast-otts frorntearns that went bankrupt, A Mercenary costs 30,000 more than an ordinary player of his position. For example, a Mercenary Human lineman would cost 80,000 gold pieces to hire for a match.

The normal limits on the total number of players allowed on a team and in each position do apply to Mercenaries (so they aren't tru_ly unlimited). However, play-ers ·that are missing the gamc;l due to inJury do notoount towards the number ow players on the team, so Mercenaries. can be used to replace players that are miss.ing a game.

All Mercenaries have the Loner skill as they are unused to playing] with the rest of the _team. In addillon, a Mercenary may be given one additional skill selected from those available 10 a player of thai position on a Normal ron, at an addihonal cost of

50,000 g;old pieces. For example, a Mercenary HUman lineman could be given Tackle for a total cost OIT 130,000 gold pieces to hire for a match. Mercenaries cannot earn Sfa,!' Player points other than the MVP for the game. Jylercenaries can nevergaln new skills.

0-2 Slar Players; Star Players are' the heroes of the Blood Bowl arena, the most resourceful and talented players in the sport. Each Star Player has his own set ol special skills and each is an indiVidual, standing outfrom the rest OJ the players In the league py virtue of the unique set off skills and talents Ihat:lhey possess (see the back cover for Star Player slats and skills}.

Star players act 'as tree ag.enls, playing single matches tor any team that can afford their high fees (and tha1 they are Willing to assist in the tlrst place), and then moving on to play for another team. A team may hire up to two Star Players that are allowed to play for the team, Unless the l~ague· Commissioner decides otherwise, deaths and serious injuries inflicted on Star !"Iayers are waived after the match.

Star Players may not take Ihe number OIT players in the team to more than 16. However, players that are missing the game due to injury do notoount towardsthenumber of players on the team, so a learn can use Star Players 10 replace pla,yers that are missing a g~ame. It is: possible (!hough unlikely) for both teams to induce !he same Star Player. Iff this happens then neither may use him and he keeps both setsof hiring fees!

Star Players can never earn Star Player points other than the MVP lor the game. Star PlayerS can never gain new skills. Finally, purcha.sedfinduced Apothecaries or an Igo~ may not be used' on Star Players ever, Star Players employ their own personal trainers- and apothecaries who travel wilh them to heal them-from almost any injury (including death} and to get in shape for their next match a,rid will not uselhe learn's amateur physicians,

0-2 Wandering Apo:fhecarJes; Any team may hire -a Wandering; Apolhecary or two to help duril'lgthe match for 100,000 gold pieces each, iIthe team can- normally purchase a_ permanent Apothecary. Often these Apothecaries are powerful priests -of the local deity. While they wou.ld never aliow themselves to be a permanent part of a.heathen Blood Bowl team, they have been known to assist for a single match for a generous donation to their taith, The rules [or Wandering Apothecaries are kienlical to the rules for purchased Apothecaries on page. 17. Only one Apothecary may be used to re-roll each Casualty roll.

0-1 Wizard: A team may hire a Wizard to help your team dUring' the match for 150,000 gold pieces. The rules for Wizams folloW on this pag:e.

BL.OOD BOWL. *

WIZARDS

Wizards, just like everybody else in the Old World, are keen sports fans and many are fanatically loyal in support of !heir chosen team. It is not surprising, then, that soon after the game was born, Wizards started 'helping out' the team they supported with carefully selected spells. Soon games were awash with magic as rival Wizards battled to give their team the edge. In the end, the Colleges OJ Magic were forced to insist that only teams that had bought a special license from the Colleges of Magic Were allowed to have magical assistance. They limited this assistance to one spell per match, and even this had to be chosen from a very limited selection and cast by an officially appointed Colleges of Magic team Wizard. Wizards ana fans alike soon realised that they really wanted to see a proper Blood Bowl match rather than a spellcasting contest, so the new rules Were soon universally accepted.

Any team is allowed to hire a Wizard for a match, as long as they can afford the whopping licensing fee charged Iby the College of Magic concerned. No team may hire more than one Wizard per match. Wizards can be represented in g~ames with one of the Wizard models from the range of Citadel miniatures for Warhammer. This isn't strictly necessary, but looks a lot better than representing a Wizard with a bottle top or tiddlywin'k!

Once per game, the Wizard is allowed to cast either a Fireba.l! spellor a Lightning Boitspell. Wizards may only cast spells at the start of his own turn before any player performs an Action or immediately after his own team's turn has ended even if it ended with a turnover.

Fireball, Choose a target square anywhere on the pitch. 1'1011 one dice to hit each standing player (ITrom either team) that is either in the target square or a square adjacent to it. If the 'to hit roll is a 4 or more then the target is Knocked Down. If it is a 3 or less he manages to dodge the fireball's blast. Make an Armour roll (and possible Injury as well) for any player that is Knocked Down as in they had been Knocked Down by a player with the Mighty Blow skill. If a player on the moving team is Knocked Down by a fireball, then the moving team does not SUffer a turnover unless the player was carrying the ball at the time.

Llghtn.lng Bol.t: Pick a standing player anywhere on the pitch, and roll one dice. If the score is a.2 or higher, then he has been hit by the lightning bolt. lIT the roll is a 1 then he manages to dodge out of the way. A player hit by a lightning bolt is Knocked Down and must make an Armour roll (and possible Injury as well) as iIT hit by a player with the Mighty Blow skill.

G = General skills, A = Agility skills, S = Strength skills, P = Passing skills, and M = Mutation skills.

Designer's Note: Some tesme are more challenging than the others to play either because of their skiiis requiring advanced strategies to be effective or because they have difflcuUy winning. These teams have been designed this way on purpose to give challenges to coaches who master the besice of Blood Bow'. These more challenging teams are: Chaos, Dark' Elf, Goblin, Halffing, Khemri, Nurgle, Ogre and Vampire. Coaches should be aware that these are considered teams for more advanced players and can be confusing or difficult to use if you are new to the game.
