Star Player...why ?

By Fifagi, in Blood Bowl: Team Manager

Why there are races for star player?

If every race of a division can take a STAR PLAYER in their division, and (for exaple) If an "human player" hasn't advantage or utility to choose a "human" star player, the star palyer could not all be NEUTRAL?

Thanks

Indeed that's one thing that always bugged me a bit with the vanilla game. In the tabletop game, each team(race) has its list of available star players. Course guys like Morg play for almost all teams, but that's not the case for Griff Oberwald or Count Luthor Von Drakenborg. Maybe they made it so to add flavor, or maybe they did so to allow for a different star player mechanism down the road,who knows.

We use a different system here; Each coach's 5 team star players are shuffled and put into a "star player deck". The top card is put face up, showing which star player is currently available for hire at the time. Each time a team get a "star icon" (star player) payout, they get 1 token. At the end of each scoreboard phase (when they collect payout), they can either spend tokens to hire the available star player, or send it to the bottom of the pile. This creates a bit of a "build up" as people either go for the big guy (5 star) or try to hire 2 or more lesser heroes.

So what to do with the rest of the "ogres"? We simply made an Ogre team called the Freebooters with its own set of rules.
