So who should take Block? Obviously players who are doing a lot of blocking are prime candidates, so players like Black Orcs, Saurus, Big Guys (they need a doubles roll) etc. Some player builds may be better off selecting the newer skill, Wrestle, which has changed blocking somewhat under LRB5. On the face of it, Block is useful to pretty much every player and is never really a bad choice. Avoiding turnovers is crucial, more knockdowns means less opponents on the pitch and more SPP and less chance of being knocked down yourself. So as you can see a two dice block with block is by the safest and most effective, least chance of causing a turnover and greatest chance of getting a knock down. For a two dice block without block you knock them down 5/9 (55.6%), with block you knock them down 27/36 (75%) of the time. For one die if you didn’t have block you knock them down 1/3 (33.3%) of the time (unless they also have dodge) with block you knock them down 1/2 (50%) of the time.
Adding three dice into the mix and you turnover without block 1/27 (3.7%) and with block 1/216 (0.5%).īlock will also increase the amount of times you knock an opponent over who doesn’t have block. As you can see a two dice block, when you have block is by far the least likely to cause a turnover. For a two dice block you fall over 1/9 (11.1%) of the time without block and 1/36 (2.8%) of the time with block. A one die block without block you fall over 1/3 (33.3%) of the time, if you have block you fall over 1/6 (16.7%) of the time, assuming you don’t have/use a reroll. The main benefit, which might be apparant, is the greatly lowered chance of being knocked down, when blocking or being blocked. Most teams have access to players that start with it and with blocking being a fundamental part of the game it is a widely selected skill choice.
The Block skill has been one of the main skills in the game for years (if not ever). Notes on the Black Orcs, I made them a bit bigger than the Official models, (about halfway between a black orc and ogre in height) if you'd like to have them more in line the official team, printing them at 90% scale should do the trick.A player with the Block skill is proficient at knocking opponents down. The Block skill, if used, affects the results rolled with the Block dice, as explained in the Blocking rules.
