Rowana Forestfoot

Hiring cost 160,000 gp. Plays for: Woodland League.

Special rule: Bounding Leap

Once per game, declared before rolling, one Leap ignores negative modifiers and may be re-rolled.

On the pitch

Rowana Forestfoot is a gnome blocker with a Wardancer's toolkit. Once a game she declares a Leap that ignores every negative modifier and can be re-rolled, which is how she gets into a cage. Horns give her ST 4 on the blocks of a blitz, Guard lets her assist while marked, and Dodge turns a stumble into a push. Dump-off lets her throw a quick pass away when blitzed with the ball.

At 160k she gives Halfling and Gnome teams a blitz threat that does not rely on a thrown player landing, and Guard on a mobile model, which neither roster has. Wood Elf coaches have Wardancers who do the same job with Block. Without Block she falls on a Both Down, AV 8+ gives way to most hits, and Loner (4+) makes a failed leap expensive once her special version is spent.
