Daemon-Tzeentch

Big Guys:
Tzeentch teams can have one Big Guy player. Big Guy players cannot use Team rerolls.

New skills/traits:
Daemonic Aura: Daemons are surrounded by an aura that makes them incredibly difficult to hurt. This aura means his AV is fixed, and cannot be modified by anything. This means Mighty Blow, Dirty Player, Claw, Fouls assists, Chainsaws, etc. have no effect for the purposes of the player's Armour roll. Skills that effect the Injury roll will still work, if the armour is penetrated. However, Daemonic Aura has some downsides if there is not a wizard nearby to keep their hold on this plane solid. If the player suffers a casualty injury (Badly Hurt, Seriously Injured) without a Spellcaster on the pitch, he is considered DEAD!

Advance:
Flamers: While Flamers have one spell they cannot learn new spells. On a doubles roll they may however raise their Casting level by 1.

Physical: Physical abilities are rather different from normal skills, in that they are things that a player is born with, rather than learned abilities like skills. This means that in most cases players may never be given a physical ability as a new skill, even if the Star Players roll was a double. However, on doubles, Chaos players may receive these skills as a "gift" from the gods they worship. They Chaos player may thus take any skill they want or a skill from the Physical Mutation list on a doubles roll for the Star Player roll.

Apothecary:
The Team Apothecary can only be used on Beastman or Chaos Warriors. NEVER on the Pink Horrors, Flamers, or Lord of Change.

Head Coach:

Flamers know one spell. A Flamer's casting level can increase but they may not learn new spells:
Firebreathing
Successful Result: The Spellcaster issues forth a line of fire in a straight line direction for 3 squares. The fire hits all squares in this straight line and also hits any squares adjacent to the direct line squares that are not also adjacent to the Spellcaster. The Spellcaster coach must roll a D6 for any player touched by the fire. If the roll is higher than their AG, they are knocked over and have to make an armour roll. This armour roll and following injury roll are made with +1 modifiers.
Failure Result: Nothing Happens
Range: Direct line of 3 squares and all squares adjacent to them but not adjacent to the caster.
Succeeds on: 2+

Secret Weapons:
Daemons teams may not use secret weapons.

-------------------------------------------------------- This ends the MBBL2 league rules for this team ----------------------------------------------

Racial Wizard: (Note: the MBBL does not use Racial Wizards)
Chaos teams have a Chaos Sorcerer for 150,000. Chaos Sorcerers use Dark Magic to cast their spells. Dark Magic is the most powerful and destructive of all types of magic, but it is almost as dangerous for the user as it is for the victim that it is used against! A Chaos Sorcerer may cast a bolt of destructive warp energy at an enemy player once per match. The Wizard lurks in the crowd, firing the Warp Bolt at the appropriate moment. The spell can be cast at any time, interrupting the opponents move if required. Roll a dice when the spell is cast. On a roll of 2-6, the victim is hit and knocked over by the Warp Bolt. Such is the power of the Warp Bolt that it automatically penetrates the victim's armour, so roll on the injury table immediately to see what injuries where inflicted. On a roll of 1, something has gone dreadfully wrong with the spell. Roll the dice again. On a roll of 1-3, the Chaos Sorcerer is destroyed by his own spell, cross him off the team roster. On a roll of 4-6, the Sorcerer is horribly injured but survives. However, he may not be used in the next match while he recovers from his injuries.

Stadium rules:
The Chaos-Daemon coach may roll roll a D6 at the beginning of the match. On a score of 5 or 6, the Chaos Gods are watching over the game and will favor the home side. All Fan Factor rolls made by the home team receive a +3 bonus for the entire game. If both teams are Chaos or Daemon, the modifier only applies to the Home Side (after all, it is their Stadium!)

Star Players: (Note: the MBBL does not use Star Players)

New skills:
Mace Tail - A player with this skill has grown a long, powerful tail covered with lumps and spikes which he can use to attack opponents. During his turn, a player with this skill may attack an opponent. This attack can be made against any player in an adjacent square. This attack does not stop the player from a normal block move before or after the Mace Tail attack. The Mace Tail attack can be made against the same or a different opponent than any blocks made by this player. Both coachs roll a D6 and add their player's agility. If the score for the player with Mace Tail is higher, the opponent has been knocked down in the square he was standing (make armour roll at -1 and injury rolls at +1 without any other skill modifiers for either armour or injury.) The player may use his Mail Tail attack once during each of his own team's turns, at any point during the turn. The Mace Tail attack is a free action and does not interfere with the player's ability to take any other action either before or after he use the ability. The Mace Tail skill is considered an illegal weapon, so the player also gains a Penalty Roll of 9+.

2nd edition Star Player notes:
Most of the 2nd edition star players were converted to 3rd edition rules in the Blood Bowl Compendium I. Those conversions are presented above for those players. However, Dieter Hammerlash, Duke Luthor Von Hawkfire, Galmen Goreblade, and Wormhowl Greyscar were not converted. I have converted those stats to the best of my ability. To help you understand the conversion, the 2nd edition stats for the Chaos team and Star Players is listed below. Here is the key to the stats (MA=Movement Allowance (same as 3rd edition), SP=Sprint Allowance (Number of squares player can Go For It), ST=Strength (same as 3rd edition), AG=Agility (Same as 3rd edition), TS=Throwing Skill (used to determine pass completion and accuracy), CL=Cool (ability to stay calm, used mostly to catch the ball), AV=Armour Value (same as 3rd edition)):
