On Pitch Spellcaster:
The Half-Orcs paid attention to the lessons taught by both of their parent races. As a result, a Half-Orc spellcaster starts with TWO spells, Lucky Day and Waaagh Armour.

Name: Lucky Day
Successful Result: The spellcaster's team gains an extra team reroll for this half only. If the team has already has more team rerolls than turns remaining in the half, then the opposing team loses a team reroll for this half only.
Failure Result: The spellcaster's team loses a team reroll for this half only. If the spellcaster's team has no team re-rolls than the opposing team gains an extra team for this half only.
Range: No Range
Succeeds on: 3+

Name: Waaagh Armour
Successful Result: For the rest of the game, the target player's AV and injury rolls cannot be modified. So skills, magic, or pitch types that would give a positive or negative modifier to armour and injury rolls are negated for this player.
Failure Result: No effect
Range: Anywhere on the pitch
Succeeds on: 2+

Secret Weapons:
The Half-Orc team may use the Chainsaw, Blunderbuss, or Poisoned Dagger secret weapons.

================================================ End MBBL2 Rules ===================================

Stadium rules:
During home stadium games, Half-Orc fans try to yell louder and act tougher than either of their parent races. As a result, roll a D6, at the beginning of the game. On a 6, the Half-Orc fan factor is modified by +2 and the opponent's fan factor is modified by -2 for this game only. Ignore this rule if the other team is Half-Orc.

Team Translation Notes:

• The 1st edition rules contained a Half-Orc team which had a "roughly" 1 in 6 better chance of knocking down an opponent than either of the Orc or Human races from which they were born. Giving them a point of strength was too much, as would be giving all the players Block, but giving all Half-Orcs Tackle makes for a different team concept and is more true.
• The Half-Orc race was also less agile than either the Human or Orc races. The race had a lower Passing ability than either of its parent races and had no position on the team for Throwers or Catchers. So this led to a translation of AG 2.
• All other stats were that of the Human side of its parents. Thus the stats of MA:6, ST:3, AG:2, AV:8 with Tackle.
• The 1st edition rules included 3 position players which were translated as follows:
  
  • - The Runner had Lineman stats and had Block and Sure Hands. Easy translation, since a 1st edition Runner is what is called a Blitzer in 4th edition.
    
  • - The Defensive Blocker had -1 MA, +1 AV, and Tackle. Well the translated Lineman already had Tackle ... so Double tackle was translated as +1 ST. We were very happy with this result as it resembles a mix of Human Lineman and Black Orc.
    
  • - Finally, the Half-Orc team had a Kicker. The Kicker could kick the ball better at kick-off than a non-kicker (translated to 4th edition Kick skill). The Kicker could also, at any point during a turn, kick the ball 18 squares downfield toward a given square but it wasn't very accurate (26% of the balling landing in the target square). Now while the 4th edition rules do not allow kicking the ball at anytime anymore, they do include Hail Mary Pass which reads very much like the kicking ability of the Half-Orc kicker. So to give the team more of the flavor it had in 1st edition, the Kicker has Hail Mary Pass (but he does NOT gain the ability to easily learn Passing skills). Finally, the Kicker had a -1 to its 1st edition Toughness which translates to -1 to the 4th edition AV (AV 7). Last note: in order to give the team some actually playability, the Kicker was given AG 3 instead of AG 2 (which isn't unfounded as AG 3 with no access to Agility or Passing skills is also a decent translation from 2nd edition.)
