Star Player “Ringer”:
In attempt to grant the wishes of the insatiable Rocky Mountain fans, The Rocky Mountain Blood Bowl Committee has allowed each coach to bring in their own Star Player Ringer to compete in this one grand rebellion. Your Ringer may be included in your initial 11 players.
 
Each coach will have additional gold pieces to customize their own Star Player Ringer and has been given a rebel Human Lineman to groom and join their team for the event. Each lineman has been blessed by the Chaos Gods and will have access to all Skill Charts as primary skills!  The only exception to skill selection is Ringers can not take the Leader skill as they are ringers, not leaders of the team. 
 
Coaches will be given gold pieces according to the following Tier system which INCLUDES the 50k cost of the Human Lineman:
 
Tier 1 teams will have 100k gold pieces. Tier 1 teams include: Amazon, Chaos Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Lizardman, Norse, Orc, Undead, Wood Elf

Ringer New Skill - Egomaniac
A player with this skill has been specifically groomed to become the Ringer of his team for one tournament. As such, the Ringer is a narcissistic egomaniac and thinks the world literally revolves around him. At the beginning of each drive roll a D6. If the roll is a 1, the player gains the Bonehead skill for the drive. Team re-rolls cannot be used on the Egomaniac roll, but the Pro skill can be used.
 
Ringer Advancements
After the initial cost of the Human Lineman for 50k, coaches may use the rest of their allotted gold pieces to purchase stats and skills for their Ringer. Ringers may have multiple stat increases (within the limits on the 2020 Characteristic Table on pg 28) but only up to 6 skill upgrades.
 
Example: A Halfling coach could spend their 300k to groom a 5 ST Ringer if they so choose!
 
Ringer Back Story:
Each coach is encouraged to come up with a back story for their Ringer, which may include a name, where they came from, how they were groomed, etc.
 
A special glittering prize will be given to the coach with the best back story!
