Gnomes and Fimir (from Sigurd Garshol)
Nipponeese (From Jarrod Coad)
1.0 MONGRELMEN (From Chet Zeshonski)
==============
A number of years ago, a friend of mine was looking for alternate races to
play in 2nd edition Blood Bowl.
Well, it occured to me the other week that I could mess around with the
rules a bit and try to come up with something a little similar, however
warped. I know people have often complained that several skills never
get picked (particularly among the Physical Abilities), so I gave the
matter some thought and came up with the "Mongrelmen".
Please note that there is nothing official about this; furthermore, these
rules haven't even been playtested. Anyone who wishes to do so is
encouraged to, and I'd be more than interested in hearing the results. A
number of "potential/possible" benefits and penalties for the race were
toyed with, and I have decided to include ALL of them. Whether this makes
for a playable race or not - I don't know. That's what you people (who I
KNOW love new races, Star Players, etc., etc., etc.:) are going to tell
me!
Any section marked with an asterisk (*) indicates an optional rule that
needs serious playtesting to see how it affects the race as a whole. I'm
not sure the whole thing is comPLETEly balanced, but I'd caution against
throwing out all the penalties to tes the race.
Anyway, without further ado - here they are...
MONGRELMEN
~~~~~~~~~~
History - Ages ago, the great primal force that is Chaos swept out of the
North, corrupting the souls of all it encountered.
All, that is, except for the strange race now known as the
Mongrelmen. By some strange twist of fate, these humans were not
completely corrupted by the Invasion of Chaos.
However, a mark was left upon the people who survived "intact."
Strange mutations began to develop with alarming frequency.
Children were often born with strange abnormalities - dog-faced,
lobster-clawed, even rat-tailed.
The people survived, however, and have since devoted their lives
to battling Chaos and all its forces (they've also developed a
lot of even stranger mutations!).
Player List

Qty Title Cost MA ST AG AV Skills
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~~~
0-16 Mongrelman 70,000 6 3 3 8 Special
Rerolls: 60,000 gold pieces each
Every Mongrelman starts with one randomly selected mutation (see below).
Special Rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mongrelmen often develop strange mutations, as has been noted. However, due
to their (ironically) chaotic metabolism, such mutations are exceedingly
random.
To represent these two facts, any Mongrelman who rolls doubles for a skill
is allowed to roll on the Mutations Table below.
1: Big Hand 5: Horns 9: Regeneration 13: Thick Skull
2: Claw 6: Hypnotic Gaze 10: Spikes 14: Two Heads
3: Extra Arms 7: Prehensile Tail 11: Stunty 15: Very Long Legs
4: Foul Appearance 8: Razor Sharp Fangs 12: Tentacles 16: Choose
For the second (and any successive) mutations, a roll of 16 (Choose) or a
mutation already possessed by the player allows the coach to choose any
mutation.
Skill Rolls
~~~~~~~~~~~
* Mongrelmen may normally choose General Skills only. Due to their highly
warped nature, a player who rolls doubles for a skill may not automatically
choose a skill. Instead, he must roll a d6 and consult the following table:
1-3: May choose a Skill from any category.
4-6: Most roll a Mutation.
Mongrelmen who roll stat increases (MA+1, ST+1) may keep these without
rolling, as these increases are physical mutations of a different nature.
Thus, a Coach who rolls (6,6) for a skill may take ST+1 or a Mutation
(randomly rolled). If the Coach rolls (6,6) or (2,2) and wishes to choose
Dodge, for example, he must roll 3 or less on the chart above to do so.
Apothecaries
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Due to their highly irregular physical nature (and penchants for
misplaced hearts and the like), Mongrelmen are more difficult to heal
than most races. To reflect this, any Apothecary trying to heal a
Mongrel player succeeds on a roll of 3+ rather than 2+.
Wizards
~~~~~~~
* Mongrelmen cannot hire normal Wizards. Rather, they have their own
practitioners of magic, called Warpers (or "Channelers," as they are know
to the Mongrelmen themselves). These truly odd specimens are capable of
warping (or, more accurately, "channeling") the Taint of Chaos out of the
Warper and into the world.
Mongrelmen may hire a Warper at any time during team creation or the
season, and he costs 150,000 gold crowns. A Mongrelman team with a Warper
on it is allowed to choose 1 extra Magic Item card per game to reflect the
Warper's control of the Taint of Chaos.
Choose the team's Special Play cards normally, and then set aside the
Warper's Magic Item card (note, then, that Mongrel teams with a Warper
*are* allowed to circumvent the usual limit of 1 Magic Item card per game).
If the Warper is injured in any way or otherwise made unavailable for the
game (a "Better Offer" card, for example), the Magic Item card is returned
to the deck if it has not been used already (thus, it is very important to
set aside the Warper's card - preferably, under the Warper's model).
The Fans
~~~~~~~~
* Because Mongrelmen are so - well, UGLY - and few in number, they rely
largely on fan support from other races. However, because these fans are
so fickle, Mongrelmen must subtract an additional -1 from their Fan Factor
roll after every match, in addition to any other modifiers which may apply.
Mixed Race Teams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mongrelmen, due to their ugly and bizarre nature, must fight a lot of
prejudice on the Blood Bowl field. A Mongrel team may hire Human players,
but must first roll a 6 to do so (using the Mixed Race rules from Citadel
Journal No. 7). Humans may hire Mongrel players, but must similarly roll
a 6 to do so (this is because the players will often not want the Mongrel
player on the team).
2.0 SNOTLINGS (From Dan Kast)
=============
(I thought the 2nd ed. Snotlings were so much fun, I brought them back.)
Snotling (Cost 20,000) MA 6, ST 1, AG 3, AV 5, Dodge, Right Stuff, Stunty
A Snotling may select Agility skills (if he lives long enough).
SPECIAL RULES
Snotlings are MUCH smaller than Goblins and Halflings; therefore, they may
be thrown without the normal one-band range penalty (ie., they can be
thrown up to Long Bomb! distances). However, this also means that they have
trouble handling the ball. They cannot pass (although they may hand-off),
nor can they ever attempt to intercept the ball. When a Snotling catches
the ball, roll a die. On a 4-6, he is just fine; on a 1-3, the Snotling is
knocked over and the ball scatters from his square (and if he is in the End
Zone, a touchdown is not scored).
Snotlings usually do not have their own teams (although if you want to play
one, the cost of re-rolls is 40,000). Any Chaotic team (see above) can
hire up to 4 Snotlings.
3.0 SLANN (From Dan Kast)
=========
The Slann are an ancient race who once roamed the stuff of Chaos in their
marvelous silver spaceships. But no longer -- the Slann have long since
degenerated and the technological marvels they once produced are now a
thing of the past. So low have they sunk into barbarity that they even
(shudder) play Blood Bowl. How uncivilized can you get?!

4.0 ALPHA COMPLEX BLOOD BOWL (From Dean Maki)
============================
*************** ATTENTION CITIZENS ***************
Your Friend The Computer had invented a new game for your enjoyment. This
new game is so fun and exhilarating that only a Commie Mutant Traitor
would not sign up immediately to play.
You and your fellow players are instructed to carry a ball over the
opposing team's goal line. You must also use any means to prevent the
opposing team from crossing your goal line with the ball. Your health is
secondary to the enjoyment of the game. The Computer likes it that way.
You do too, right Citizen?

Notes:
Alpha Complex Blood Bowl teams may not use an apothecary. Alpha Complex
teams may not hire players from other races, nor may other races hire
Alpha Complex Players.
On a Doubles skill roll, the team member must choose from the R&D Skill set
Each player starts with 5 clones. If a player dies, the next clone will be
activated and placed in the Reserves Box.
If at any time a player has amassed 5 Treason Points more than he has
Commendation Points, he will be terminated and replaced with his next clone
in line. This clone has all the skills and memories as the previous
player, but no Treason or Commendation points.
The following will earn Treason Points:
Fumbling the Ball : 1TP
Throwing an Inaccurate Pass : 1TP
Failing to Catch the ball : 1TP
Entering a Zone you are not cleared for : 2TP
Choosing a skill you normally cannot have : 1TP
On field when TD scored against you : 1TP
Falling for any reason : 1TP
Failing to pick up the ball : 1TP
Getting Injured : 1TP
Failing to return R&D Equipment : 2TP
Failing to use issued R&D Equipment : 1TP
Dropping the Ball : 1TP
Performing an action not cleared for: 2TP
Causing someone to miss a game : 1TP
Getting ejected : 1TP
Awarded MVP : 2TP
The following will earn Commendation
Points:
Scoring a Touchdown : 1CP
Catching the Ball : 1CP
Completed Pass : 1CP
Knocking an opposing player down : 1CP
On field when TD scored for team : 1CP
Causing an Injury : 1CP
Awarded MVP : 2CP
Other Notes:
The ball is Security Clearance ORANGE. Getting control of the ball if
you are not ORANGE or greater earns you 2 Treason Points.
The Endzone is Security Clearance YELLOW.
The BLITZ action is Security Clearance ORANGE.
The PASS action is Security Clearance YELLOW.
The FOUL action is Security Clearance GREEN.
When entering the End Zone, roll 2 dice. On a result of 2, The Computer
has determined that the square entered into is Security Clearance ULTRA-
VIOLET. The Player will be terminated (and the next clone activated)
and a Touchdown will not be awarded. Scatter the ball. The Security
Clearance of that square will revert back to Yellow after the corpse
is removed.
R&D Skill Set
When using any of the R&D Skills, roll a D6. On a roll of 1, the device
blows up, knocking the player to the ground. Roll for armour. This causes
a turn over and may not be rerolled. The player will gain 2 Treason
Points, but the device will be replaced for the next game.
Pogo-Shoes: The player may Leap, as per the skill. He may also Go For It
four times. The shoes are rather clumsy, and as such, the player
suffers a -1 when dodging and has his base MA reduced by 1.
Drill: This power assisted hand drill gives a +1 bonus when rolling for
armour and injury rolls on any blocks, or any fouls the player is
involved in. If the player is knocked down, he suffers a +1 on his
armour and injury rolls.
Steam Powered Epoxy Gloves: A boiler unit is strapped to the back of the
player, with conduits leading to a pair of gloves. The steam heats
up the Epoxy disks on the gloves. This allows the player to pick up
or catch the ball on a 2+, regardless of tacklezones. The player may
never voluntarily give up the ball. If he is knocked over while
carrying the ball, he will land on the ball, causing it to burst.
Eject the player for Delay of Game and kick off the ball again. If
the player scores a Touch Down, roll a D6. On a 1-3 the dissolving
solution does not remove the Epoxy, and the player cannot let go of
the ball. A replacement ball is used, and the player must sit out
the rest of the game.
Ballzooka: This device allows a player to make an accurate pass to any
square on the board. The player may not move or otherwise take
another action during the turn. Unfortunately, its front is
identical to its back. When using this device, roll a D6. On a 1-3,
the ball fly backwards. Further unfortunately, the Ballzooka is
aimed by looking through the device. If the ball is sent backwards,
it will hit the operator in the face, injuring him. Do not roll for
armour, go right to the injury table.
Slippery Suit: An energy pack is used to hyper-excite silicate molecules
across a full body jump suit. This makes the wearer virtually
ungrabbable. The player may ignore tacklezones when dodging, and
the Tackle skill may not be used against this player. The suit
also makes it impossible to pickup or catch the ball, or get a good
grip on an opponent. Therefore the wearer of this suit has no
tackle zones, and may not block or foul or assist in a block or foul.
Hydraulic Boot: The player gains the skill Kick and has a +2 bonus when
committing a foul instead of the normal +1. The player's base
movement is reduced by 3 due to the size of the foot wear.
Turtle Shell Battle Armour: The wearer of this devastating piece of gear
has his AV raised to 10 and ST raised to 5 and gains the skill Block.
His movement, however is reduced to 1, and he may not Go For It.
If the player is ever knocked over, he may not get up without
assistance. (He may roll over if he was stunned.) To stand up,
the player needs assistance from players with a combined ST of 17 or
more. These players may not do anything else during the turn they
are helping the downed player.
5.0 SUPER HALFLINGS (From Chet Zeshonski)
===================
Super Halflings have the exact same stats as their "normal" cousins,
but have access to General skills, and cost 10,000 more. If your
league uses Super Halflings, then ALL halflings should be Super;
mixing Super and "normal" halflings is not advised.

Norse teams may hire rookie or star Ogres. They may also hire as
allies: Dwarves (6+ roll), 1 Halfling or 1 Human. Norse players may
be hired as allies by Dwarves (6+ roll), Halflings (6+ roll) and
Humans (1 player).

The Carnifex may not catch or carry the ball. If the ball is in the
possession of a Carnifex, it will burst.
If a Carnifex trys to throw a teammate, he must first make an unmodified
armour roll to see if the little guy is injured.
Tyranid players do not acquire Star Player Points. Star Player Points
are gained by the entire team as one through the hive mind. Skills are
acquired with levels based upon twelve times the normal:
0-60 SPPs No skills. 61-122 1 Skill/player. 121-130 3 Skills/player

SPECIAL RULES
Samurai may not use Foul actions, as this is deemed dishonorable by the
Bushido Code.
SENSEI (Cost 50,000) A sensei will allow the players on a Nippon BBowl
team to be trained in the fabled Martial Arts...once per game, a player
on the Nippon team may use Mighty Blow, Hypnotic Gaze - a nerve pinch
version - and Leap - the player does not need to have these skills,
and the same player does not have to use all the skills. The Sensei
allows all three skills to be used once each during the match
The Nippon may also have a SHINTO PRIEST - instead of a Wizard -
(with thanks to Gavain Sweetman)
SHINTO PRIEST (Cost 200,000) The shinto priest acts as a normal wizard
except that they have an additional spell "Call Kami spirit". The
spirit will take possession of a Samurai, if more than one the coach
chooses which will get the spirit. Possession by a Kami spirit gives
the Samauri exceptional vitality and endurance which is represented by
+1 ST and MV. However, spirits have their own associated skills, which
are randomly determined roll d6:
1-2 Evil Kami - player can foul and gains Dirty Player.
3-4 Good Kami - player gains Sprint and Sure Feet
5-6 Berzerker Kami - player gains Frenzy
A Samurai possessed by an Evil Kami must foul if he has a downed player
in his tackle zone at any point during his move - from either team - but
does not gain any SPP's for doing so. If a Samurai possessed by an Evil
Kami fouls anyone during the possession, he must roll on the Serious
Injury table to see what injury he commits on his own person to atone
for the dishonour.
The spirit can be summoned at any time but the possession will only last
until the next kick-off.
The Nippon call all Freebooters RONIN - the masterless grey warriors -
and do not respect them, feeling they have no honour. If Freebooters are
used in a game by the Nippon team, all Samurai have armour and injury
rolls made by them on opposing players reduced by one. However, if
Freebooters are used by the opponent, all armour and injury rolls made
on the Freebooters by Samurai are increased by one. If both sides use
Freebooters, the Samurai make rolls as normal...

Throwing Stars - New Skill Penalty Roll 10+ (if 10,11,12 is rolled ,
ninja is sent off)
A player with the Throwing Star skill has a supply of Poisoned
shuriken that allow him to make a one die block against any player
- no matter what their strength - within range of a Quick Pass but
not actually in an adjacent square. If a Opponent Down is rolled,
this is resolved as normal; Both Down - opponent goes down, ninja
must make agility roll - if failed, a star slips out of his sleeve
and rolls to the feet of the Referee - ninja sent off as if a penalty
roll was failed; Skull - ninja must make agility roll, as above, but
if failed the ninja has poisoned himself and must make armour and
injury rolls to see what happens when he hits the ground.
NIPPON BIG'UN
Temples in Nippon are guarded by statues of ancient Samurai warriors
that will come to 'life' when the temple is threatened. By twisting
the animating spell a little, a few priests have managed to change 'the
temple' to 'the team'. The Temple Statue follows all the same rules as
the Samurai position players - ie will not foul; if playing on team
with Ronin (Freebooters) same rules appy as Samurai...

Demon-spawn known to Man as the Fimir. They came to raid our Homes and
steal our Daughters. And none could stand against their Might."

0-2 Lesser Demons 6 3 4 7* Dodge, Wings General, Agility 100,000
SPECIAL RULES
Due to incredibly poor depth vision, Fimir double all negative range
modifiers when making a pass. In addition, all ranges are treated as being
one band longer than measured (see Halflings)
Fimir Magic Special Rules
The Team may hire either a Dirach Wizard (150k) or a Meargh Hag Queen (300k).
A Dirach may either generate the fog described below, or cast a normal spell.
The fog seeps in on the field just before the players set up. The fog allows
the Fimir to ignore their normal Passing Restrictions, and imposes the same
penalty to all Non-Fimir Players.
The fog may be generated at the start of the drive before both teams set up,
provided the weather is Nice. The fog disappears if a 4+ is rolled on a D6
after each drive, or the weather changes to anything other than Nice. Only
one Fog may be generated each match.
A Meargh Hag Queen can generate fog AND cast a spell as an ordinary wizard.
Demon Special Rules
If you have a Dirach or a Meargh you may purchase Lesser Demons as players.
If you have a Meargh, you may purchase Greater Demons as players.
All Demons have a special armour value: The opponent does not add any
modifiers to his armour roll.
Injured Demons never suffer any permanent injuries, but are temporarilly
banished from the Mortal Plane. The may be resummoned at some expence.
Badly Hurt: resummon in the next Make Purchase Phase buy paying 25% of
original cost.
Seriously injured: Resummon in the Make Purchases Phase AFTER the FOLLOWING
match by paying 50% of original cost.
Killed: Sorry, but the demon is banished for a so long time that he counts
as dead.
A Demon that is not resummoned at the designated time, is lost.
Demons retain any skills/increases obtained when resummoned.
A Demon fitted with Magic helmet loses his special ability of ignoring
Armour modifiers.
Note that Demons assosciating with Fimir are non-Chaotic. They are merely
considered Evil...
Special Physical Ability: Wings.
This player may Leap as described under the skill LEAP. There are some
exceptions. The Leap allways succeeds on a 2+. If the roll to leap was a
natural 6, the leap only costs 1 square of movement. It is impossible to
use WINGS during a Blizzard, and Pouring rain imposes a -1 modifier to
the roll.

If it has the ball, it is immediately dropped (Does not count as a
turnover: See the Turnover Rules) Move the player D6 squares in a straight
line dictated by the scatter template, ignoring all tackle-zones. If
another player is standing in the way, the Insane player will throw a block
at the opposing player, pushing him out of the way if possible, and will
then strive to complete it's move. This may mean blocking several players.
Prone or Stunned are Pushed Back, out of the way if possible. No assists
are counted for these blocks. If the player has a functional Weapon that
can be used in place of a block, it will use these. If the opponent of the
insane player is removed from the board, the Insane player may continue his
move. Note that the player will only block players that actually stand in a
square he is supposed to enter.

0.1 SUBMISSION POLICY
=====================
All submissions must be sent to dfmaki@makivel.synapse.net. When
sending in a submission, try to follow the format used in this listing
for easy cut-and-paste. Please use the legends at the end of the list
for skill and race names. If your star player comes with a skill or
ability which is not normally available in Blood Bowl, please send a
description along with the star.
The maintainer reserves the right to refuse any submission which does
not measure up to his particular idea of 'Star Player'. This is a
very subjective thing, but good guidelines are:
1. You can't make the star easily from existing basic
players. (i.e. Lots of Doubles Rolls)
2. The player has at least one stat increase.
Most 'Shmoes With Just a Bunch of Skillls' will be rejected. For
example, a High Elf Pheonix Warrior (Thrower) with normal stats
but skills: Pass, Safe Throw, Sure Hands, Hail Mary Pass, Strong
Arm, Dump Off though formidable, will be rejected.

Kantona Kick
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Penalty Roll 9+ on each kick. Instead of making a block, use Kantona
Kick against an adjacent opponent (or the crowd). Roll a 1 die block:
Player Crowd
Defender Down defender down, +3 Opponent loses
armour roll 1 Fan Factor
Push Back kicker down no effect
Attacker Down kicker seriously kicker beaten by crowd
injured (no armour roll) with Mighty Blow.
Poisoned Wind Globe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Secret Weapon) - Penalty Roll 9+. This secret weapon is thrown
like a pass, and uses your pass action for the turn. The globe
will shatter in the square it lands in (no scatter). Players in
the square hit are knocked over on a 3+, and in adjacent squares
on a 5+. During rainstorms or blizzards, subtract 1 from the rolls.
Only one globe may be thrown between kickoffs.
Woof Woof
~~~~~~~~~
Skeletons destroyed by this player may not regenerate. The player is
placed in reserves box for the remainder of the match.
If a Treeman is on the pitch, roll D6 before taking an action with
this player. On a 1, the player moves towards the Treeman. If the
player is adjacent to a Treeman, roll a D6. On a 1, the player may
take no further action that turn.

0.1 What this document is all about
====================================
This document is a collection of alternate rules for Blood Bowl
which were originally presented in the Citadel Journal and Blood
Bowl Update Sheets provided by Games Workshop Mail Order

and may or may not be presented with the nod of approval from
Jervis Johnson.
This list is maintained by Dean Maki. Corrections should be sent

1.0 Mixed Race Teams (Allies)
==============================
Each team is allowed a total of two (2) players from other races. A
player of another race costs 50% more than his list price. Star
Players and Rookie Big Guys cannot be bought unless already allowed.
These players contribute their list price for Team Rating purposes, not
the price actually paid.
Team May Hire
Chaos Dwarf: 1 Chaos, 1 Goblin, 1 Orc
Chaos : 1 Chaos Dwarf, 1 Dark Elf, 1 Skaven, Undead (6+)
Dark Elf : 2 Chaos
Dwarf : Halfling (4+), 2 Human, 2 Norse
Goblin : Chaos Dwarf (6+), 2 Orc
Halfling : Dwarf (6+), 2 Human, 2 Wood Elf
High Elf : Human (4+), 2 Wood Elf
Human : 2 Dwarf, 2 Halfling, 2 Norse, High Elf (4+), Wood Elf (4+)
Norse : 2 Human, 2 Dwarf
Orc : Chaos Dwarf (4+)
Skaven : 2 Chaos, Undead (6+)
Undead : Chaos (6+), Skaven (6+)
Wood Elf : Halfling (6+), 2 High Elf, 1 Human
If you attempt to hire from a race which has a number in parenthesis,
you must roll that number or higher on a d6. If you do so, you may
purchase this player. Otherwise you must wait for five (5) games
before you may try again. You do not lose any money if you fail, but
you do lose any special play cards used in the attempt.
You can trade for a player from another race. You must pay 50% of the
player's list cost for 'arbitration'.
If you trade a player with 26 or more Star Player Points to a team of
another race, you lose one Fan Factor. (The 'Gretzky Rule')

A Goblin/Skaven mixed team may buy any player or Star available
to Skaven or Goblin teams except: Varag Ghoulchewer, Fungus the
Loon, Morg'n'Thorg and Bommer Dribblesnot.
After every touchdown or end of half, roll a d6 for each player
on the team. On a one, the player will remain in the dugout,
refusing to play with players of the other race.
Whenever a skill roll for a Goblin comes up doubles, the Goblin
may take a Physical Ability instead of a skill.
It is suggested that your league allow only 1 Goblin/Skaven team
for every seven other teams.
2.0 Rookie Big Guys
===================
[From Star Player Updates 2 and 3 and adaptations]
Rookie Big Guys, as presented in Blood Bowl Star Player Updates II and
III, count as unpeaked star players on your roster (ie. one of four
stars you may hire). [GWUK]
It is _highly_ recommended that Treemen not be allowed to take agility
skills, even if doubles is rolled. [JJ]
Big guys with throw teammate and strong arm may throw halflings and
goblins with the right stuff for long bomb ranges. [GWUK]
Big guys _may_ throw teammate using hail mary pass. [JJ]
All big guys take up one square, either when standing or when prone.
[JJ]
Treemen with 3 or more MA can stand up using 3 MA without rolling.
Unpeaked monster players are given below. All have access to Strength
skills, but not General, Passing or Agility skills, unless "doubles"
are rolled on a Star Player Roll. Minotaurs and Rat Ogres may gain
Physical Abilities on a "doubles" roll.
The first list of Rookie Big Uns below are from the Star Player Updates
released by GW mail order and Citadel Journal. These were created by
GW mail order without play testing or input from Jervis Johnson. Jervis
himself considers them a mistake, and does not play with them.
The second list below are adaptations or creations by various members on
the 'net.
Jervis has written a 'discussion paper' for his own, new rules for rookie
Bigs. They are included in a separate document.

deletion.
3.0 CHAOS DAEMON RULES
======================
[From Citadel Journal]
A Chaos team must be dedicated to one of the four major Chaos powers
when created. Chaos teams which wish to use Daemons must have a
wizard on their staff. The Daemons will disappear if the wizard is
killed or leaves without being replaced before the next game.
All Daemons except the Bloodthirsterhave a Daemonic Aura. The Aura
prevents all modifiers from being applied to armour rolls against the
Daemon.
Minor Daemons are dispelled if badly hurt, seriously injured or killed.
Greater Daemons are dispelled if seriously injured or killed. Remove

Horrors may not gain SPPs, and if both are dispelled, the pink is
dispelled. Otherwise the Pink Horror returns next game as the Blues
merge. If the second Blue is the 12th player on the pitch, roll D6.

long as the daemon is on the field, and discarded if the daemon is
sent off, dispelled or banished.
4.0 NORSE TEAMS
===============

The Norse are northern humans, with their own special abilities.
Sweltering Heat affects Norsemen on a 1 or 2, but a Blizzard only
trips them up on a 1, and they may attempt long passes.

5.0 COACHES
===========
[From Citadel Journal #10]
A team may hire coaches to train players and teach them skills without
SPPs. The players are still limited to seven skill or statistic gains
and peaked players may not be taught. The coaches come in three levels
of ability, with a class of skills that they teach and a favourite
skill. A team may not start with a coach.
Coaches count as assistant coaches for Brilliant Coaching rolls.
Retired players may only become assistant coaches, not coaches.
The three levels of ability are Experts (50,000gp), Old-Timers (100,000)
and Ex-Players (150,000).
The four areas of expertise are Fouling (General Skills), Blocking
(Strength), Passing (Passing) and Catching (Agility). You may only hire
one coach from each area of expertise, and only if a player on your basic
team roster may normally receive those skils taught by that coach.
Coaches may be used once after each match. Select a player and name a
skill from the coach's area of expertise. Roll 2D6 and apply all
modifiers. On a 11 or 12, the player gains the skill.
MODIFIERS: +2 Coach is an Ex-Player
+1 Coach is an Old Timer
+1 Coach is teaching his favourite skill
-2 Player normally cannot learn that skill
Availability:
Fouling Coach (General) All but Halflings and Goblins
Blocking Coach (Strength) Dwarf, Human, Skaven, Orc, Undead, Chaos,
