Master of Ballistics
(Rule)Description: During Step 2 of every Start of Drive sequence, the Master of Ballistics can attempt to advise the kicker. After placing the ball but before rolling for deviation, roll a D3 on the following table:
1: Complete Misunderstanding: The kicker has rather missed the point, and the kick-off deviates as normal.
2: Interesting Theory... The Master of Ballistics becomes side-tracked explaining the theory and runs out of time before the whistle. The distance the ball deviates is reduced by one square, from D6 squares to D6-1 squares (meaning there is a chance it won’t deviate at all if a 1 is rolled).
3: Successful Practical Application: By Nuffle, the kicker’s grasped it! After rolling the dice for deviation, the kicking team’s coach can choose to modify the roll of either the D6 or the D8 by +1 or +2, or -1 or -2 as they wish, to a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 6 (for the D6) and 8 (for the D8).
