Willow Rosebark

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

Special rule: Woodland Fury

Once per game, when her own Block would knock her down, she may re-roll one Block Dice.

On the pitch

Willow Rosebark is a dryad with ST 4 on rosters where everything below a Treeman is ST 2. Dauntless lets her match a stronger opponent for the block if the roll beats it, so she can go into a Big Guy with a chance. Sidestep lets you choose her square when pushed, and AV 9+ is the best armour on a halfling pitch outside the Treemen. Once a game, when her own block would put her down, she re-rolls one of the dice.

At 160k she is affordable, and Halfling and Gnome coaches in the Woodland League get a blitzer who can actually move someone. Wood Elf sides can hire her but have less need. Dauntless makes her the one piece on a stunty roster that threatens a Saurus or a Black Orc. Loner (4+) and no Block mean a blitz with her is still a gamble.
