Head Coach:
Vizier: The Holy Araby team may have a normal head coach or it may hire a Vizier as Head Coach for 150,000.
The Vizier is a wise and rather intuitive person with a keen mind for negotiation. A Vizier possesses two valuable skills.

• The first of these is that he has the uncanny ability to foresee the future, and because of this advises the Emir before the match of some impending doom awaiting his team. The Vizier may use this ability to negate some of the advantages held by the opposing coach.
  The Holy Araby coach rolls a D6 at the beginning of the game to represent the Vizier's visions.
  • On a 1-4, the Vizier's visions do not help the team.
  • On a 5-6, the Vizier's vision is very accurate, the Holy Araby coach can see any special play cards for his opponent for the match and can choose one special play card or On-pitch Spellcaster spell that cannot be used for this match. The Vizier's visions have foretold of this specific occurrence and alter the outcome as the Emir has alerted his team before hand to avoid the result.
• Secondly, the Vizier is responsible for negotiating the Match Winnings at the end of the game. Before calculating the Match Winnings, a team with a Vizier may roll a D6: on a result of 1-4, proceed as normal; on a result of 5, add a +1 modifier to the Match Winnings roll; and on a result of 6, add a +2 modifier to the Match Winnings roll.

• The Unholy Araby team can never purchase skeletons or mummies, but they are allowed to create them for the team (see Necromancer rules).

Big Guys:
The Unholy Araby team may not have any Big Guy players.

Apothecary:
Allowed, but may only be used on living players.

On Pitch Spellcaster:
Unholy Araby Spellcasters start with the spell Necromancy.
Successful Result: Any one player in the Dugout who failed their Regeneration roll is now Regenerated and placed into the Reserves box.
Failure Result: No effect
Range: Dugout
Succeeds on: 4+

Head Coach:
Necromancer: The Unholy Araby team has a necromancer as Head Coach. The Necromancer has two abilities.

• At the end of the match, the necromancer can create new skeleton players if any of your living players was killed during the match (no limit to the number able to be created). The new player will have all the skills, traits, niggling injuries, and stat increases/descreases of the former player and he gains the Regeneration trait. His stats are changed as follows though: -2 MA, -1 AG, and AV becomes 7 (Note: no skill can go below 1). His team roster value is (30,000 gps + (the rookie cost of the deceased player-50,000 gps)) and he retains his star player points for Team Rating and skill advancement purposes. You must have an available slot on the team for this player, and it must not take your total skeletons above 6.
• If any living player from your team is killed, the Necromancer can also turn him into a free mummy. Due to the embalming process, the mummy will not be available for the next game. The player will have all the skills, traits, niggling injuries, and stat increases/decreases of the former player and he gains the skill Mighty Blow and the racial characteristic Regeneration. His stats are changed as follows though: -4 MA, +2 ST, -2AG, and +2 AV (no skill can go below 1). The player is added to the roster at a (110k value + (the rookie cost of the deceased player-50,000 gps)) and he retains his star player points for Team Rating and skill advancement purposes. This mummy can take the total number of mummies on the team to 2, but you must have an empty slot for this player.
• If a Dervish with a Ball & Chain dies, he can be turned into an undead player as through he was a normal Dervish (70k value).

-------------------------------------------------------------- The ends the MBBL2 League rules for this team --------------------------------------------------------------

Stadium:
Holy Araby teams fill their stadium will fans that make Goblin Fanatics look calm in comparison. Anytime an opposing player is pushed into the crowd during a Holy Araby home Stadium game, the Holy Araby coach may roll a D6. On a 6, the opposing player has fallen onto a truly crazed fanatic who becomes so enraged that he storms out onto the field. Treat the crazed fan as a rookie Dervish player with a Normal Dagger (treat as a Poisoned Dagger except that Stunned results are not treated as KO's). The crazed fan is placed into the first available empty square adjacent to where the opposing player was pushed into the crowd. The crazed fan may bring the number of players on the pitch for the Holy Araby team over 11 and there may be more than one crazed fan on the pitch at one time. At the end of the drive or half, the crazed fan(s) are automatically ejected from the stadium by the referee and several well armed guards.

Star Players: (Note: the MBBL does not allow the use of Star Players)
Al Kahlim will play for for either the Holy or Unholy teams. Thrahnkenkahman will only play for the Unholy team.
Stadium:
At the beginning of every home match, the Unholy Araby coach may roll a D6 for all four individual sides/ends of his team stadium. On a roll of 6, the away fans will not enter (or will leave very shortly after entering!) this part of the stadium as it is haunted! For every 6 rolled, the away team will lose one quarter of their fans for this match.
If the away team has a Fan Factor of less than four then it will be reduced by 1 (for each 6 rolled), down to a maximum of 0! Any other fractions should be rounded up i.e. if a team has a Fan Factor of 18 and the home side rolls one 6, the away team's Fan Factor will be reduced by four (one quarter of 16) to 14.
Should the Unholy Araby coach be fortunate and roll four sixes then the away team will have no fans at the game whatsoever!
Ignore these rules if both sides are Unholy Araby, Khemri, Spirit, or Undead.

FAMOUS ARABIAN TEAMS

NORTH ARABY NOMADS: The North Araby Nomads are a Holy Arabian team of great reputation, in Araby of course. They were the first Arabian team to field Whirling Dervish Star Players, and have had some success against more established teams from the Old World, they will go to great lengths to win their "holy war" on the pitch and are fast becoming a fan favorite.

AL'HARIN LOOTERS: The Al'Harin Looters are a newly formed Unholy Arabian team. Once they found Thrahnkenkahman, or Thrahnk, the Mummy Star Player, they were on the road to the big time. Because of their unique team chemistry they have developed a large following amongst the poorest of the Arabians, sadly that does not always help their gate receipts.
