New skills/traits:
Pride: This player is being forced to play for the team. But the player is a proud person and not broken easily. Before taking any actions with this player (including handing off the ball to him) roll a d6. On a roll of 1, he will refuse to cooperate until he rolls something other than a 1 for a future Pride roll (or until the end of the drive). He may take no actions. He will not try catch the ball, and he will not provide assists or extend a tackle zone. This negative skill can be bought away by expending a double on a Star Player roll. If you choose to do this the player will receive the honorary title of "entrusted" and receive a +1 AV bonus. They still counts as their original position though. ie: if you have two throwers with Pride and one becomes entrusted you may not buy a third thrower. If the Pride player survives to gain his third star player roll and is not entrusted, he will be considered a threat by the Apes and will be removed from the team for execution. Roll a D6, on a 2-6 the slave is killed (remove him permanently from the roster). On a 1, the slave escapes to freedom and takes one random slave that still has the Pride trait with him (remove both players permanentely from the roster). A player with the Pride trait may never be given a Magic Helmet.
