A player without the Throw Team-mate Trait cannot have this skill.

Whenever this player wishes to use a Team Re-roll, they must roll a D6. If they roll equal to or higher than the number shown in brackets, then they may use the Team Re-roll as normal.

Whenever this player Knocks Down an opposition player during a Block Action, even if this player is also Knocked Down, they may apply a +1 modifier to either the Armour Roll or Injury Roll. This modifier may be applied after the roll has been made.

When this player would be Pushed Back during a Block Action, including during a Chain Push, they can choose to not be Pushed Back and instead remain in their current square.

This player may declare the Throw Team-mate Action as described on page 76.

If this player has an MA of 2 or less and attempts to stand up, apply a +1 modifier to the roll for standing up for each Open Standing team-mate adjacent to this player. A roll of a natural 1 will still fail as normal.
