Missing rules from Bloodbowl 2020?

[RamireztheBlack]

I've been playing this since launch (not preorder) and I'm mostly enjoying it. I have been wanting to try out the new tabletop rules in here because I can play a lot more games this way and test out various strategies. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like several rules from the new edition are not implemented.

What I noticed working:
- Multiple rerolls available each turn
- New skills
- New advancement mechanisms
- Random skill choices at a discount

What doesn't seem to be implemented:
- Picking your 3 MVP candidates
- Special abilities of star players that are once per turn or once per activation

Some of the interface choices are a little strange and I haven't adjusted yet. It's possible I just missed those things.

For example, I chose the Grombrindal, the White Dwarf. He had all his fixed skills, but he did not have his Wisdom of the White Dwarf ability where he can give a special skill to an adjacent player. I checked the action/skill wheel and didn't see anything that looked appropriate.

I'm curious if others have found a way to do that for star players. Fungus the Loon should be able to reroll the random direction once per activation. I believe Max Spleenripper gets a once per game chance to do double chainsaw attacks.

That was in 2016... BB2020 went back to random MVP assignment, but with the caveat that it couldn't be awarded to star players or mercs.

If you mean the special rules associated with certain star players... yeah, I'm not sure they've implemented that, or if they have I'm not sure how to make them happen.

The Star Players Special Rules are on the roadmap for season 3, so around november 2023

Ah, I didn't see that - thanks. I would, however, temper any expectations folks have regarding the estimated arrival times of anything on that roadmap.

I can only second that. But that will come eventually.

Oh yeah, that was BB2016.
