New Skills/Traits

[Hawthorne]

I had an idea for an interesting (I think) skill that wouldn't be game breaking. (I'm sure it won't happen just entertaining the notion).
Bull Rush (and I apologize if the name or idea is used somewhere that I just haven't noticed). But basically if you declare a blitz with a player with this ability you can decide to make it a bull rush or not. If not it's just a normal blitz carry on, but if you declare it a bull rush the players MA is increased by, say, 2; but the blitz has a few rules. 1 when the player blocks during the blitz his movement ends (although frenzy still works like normal). Also the player MUST block another player during the blitz, or else they'll fall down where he/she ends his/her movement (being too risky or something) which will cause a turnover and an armor roll. Additionally the player falls down BEFORE any touchdowns are scored or anything (similar to blood lust).
I'd imagine it as a strength skill (Agility or Passing would be silly but general would be a bit much)

Just an idea I figure players like beastmen (although they already have a blitz booster), minotaurs, or beserkers or someone could have it.
Feel free to critique or give ideas you've had for interest rules (either ones that might be appropriate for a single character, one that would be fairly universal and non game breaking etc.)

I can't think of a player that I would take this skill on over existing ones. It is far too situational, not only can it be used once per turn but it isn't that often that you need to do a blitz and need an extra two movement.

It also doesn't really provide the threat that can be bought by a skill like Strip Ball, which is a skill that even if you don't use it the opposition has to consider or counter.

I don't know if you've already seen all the skills that are used in the PBeM (play by email) Midgard league http://www.midgardbb.com/Skills.html

I understand your thought about this skill, there been many times I needed some extra movement on my killer beastman but as coach said there so many skills I would pick before considering this 1.

Also nice link. And I thought my troll with "Always Hungry" eat to much, "Appetite - After every game, this player must be given 10,000 gold pieces (deducted from the treasury) worth of food to sate his enormous appetite otherwise he will eat 1 point of Fan Factor worth of your crowd!"
