Rumbelow Sheepskin

Hiring cost 170,000 gp. Plays for: Halfling Thimble Cup.

Special rule: Ram

Once per game, when his Block knocks a player down, add +1 to the Armour or Injury roll, even after rolling.

On the pitch

Rumbelow Sheepskin is a halfling blitzer on a ram, and the ram does the work. Horns give him ST 4 on the blocks of a blitz, Block keeps him standing on a Both Down, and Juggernaut turns that result into a push during a blitz. Tackle takes Dodge away from his target. Once a game a knockdown he causes gets one added to the armour or injury roll after you have seen it.

For 170k Halfling coaches get the only player on their side who blitzes properly, at ST 4 with Block and Tackle against the Dodge-heavy teams that walk past Hopefuls. Gnome teams in the Thimble Cup get the same thing with fewer other ways to knock a carrier down. He has no Stunty, so he dodges at the normal penalty, AV 8+ is thin for a player who ends every turn marked, and Loner (4+) applies.
