About piling on

[Weltsu]

Is it a bug or just something in the rules that is wrong in my opinion, that when I block a player and he's KO'd and then pile on it may result to stunned?

[Dode]

No, that's correct and working as intended. Consider that perhaps your player landing on him woke him up again.

Technically, don't the rules say "may reroll"? Implying the game should automatically choose the best option?

"Piling On: After a Block, if the opponent is Knocked down, the player can throw himself on top of them and provides a re-roll for either an armor or injury roll. However, the player will end up on the ground."

[Snorri Nosebiter]

It's not wrong. The rules state that Piling On allows to reroll on the armour or injury tables. This means that it's perfectly possible to reroll a KO into a stun, and more besides.

In your future games, you might take the KO as the blessing that it is- you've removed an opposing player for the remainder of the half, making it a little easier to win.

Of course, if the 2 extra SPP really mean that much to you, then you can risk the reroll. :)

If you reroll any dice in BB, you must accept the second option, whatever it is. You don't choose your preference from the two sets of dice.

If you choose to reroll a KO and it results in a stun, you have to keep the stun. If you don't want to risk a worse result, don't use PO.

I haven't yet used piling on on any of my characters in BB2, so I have to ask: Do you get an option to reroll or is it automatic?

I understand that the second roll always stays.

Using Piling On IS the option to reroll. The action itself allows you to reroll for armour break if you didn't break armour, or reroll the injury if you did.

Yeah I understand what its supposed to do, I just asked because there are some skills that provide automatic rerolls like sure feet. I was wondering if this was one of them. Thank you for your response. :)

Thats a Bloodbowl 2 thing, the game should actually ask you to use Sure Feet or not because you can elect not to in the TT. Same with the other skills that use a "free" reroll.

The game does ask if you want to use Piling On. The option appears if you choose to follow up after a successful block.

I ment Sure Feet -> " the game should actually ask you to use Sure Feet "

You also said 'it's a BB2 thing' when we were talking about PO, so it was reasonable to assume you were also talking about that. Otherwise, why randomly bring up Sure Feet?

He said some skills provided automatic rerolls, I quoted that and told him that it is a Bloodbowl 2 thing

Have you ever considered reading the thread before responding?

Snarky.

I did. This particular poster wasn't that clear (or I misunderstood), but it's now been cleared up. Maybe take your own advice?
