On the pitch
Deeproot is a Treeman without Take Root. MA 2 means he walks two squares a turn, and ST 7 with Block, Mighty Blow and Stand Firm means nothing wants to stay near him. His other job is throwing team-mates: Strong Arm adds one to the passing test, Bullseye lands a superb throw on the target square, and Reliable means even a fumble ends with the thrown player safely on the ground. AV 11+ keeps him in the game.
Halflings and Gnomes in the Woodland League get the most from him, since their offence can run through throwing a Stunty player at the end zone and he is the safest thrower they will ever field. Wood Elves can hire him as a Treeman that never roots. The 280k is a heavy price for a player who cannot chase anyone. Position him once and leave him there.
