They are all restricted to skills from the General and Strength skill lists.
On doubles, they may choose any skill or General and Strength traits.
Rat Ogres and Minotaurs may also choose Physical abilities on doubles.
Big Guy: This player has a takes up more space than normal(4 squares), and so has a much larger tackle zone. Also, Big Guys may not use team re-rolls.
Always Hungry:If a player with this skill uses Throw Team-Mate, roll 1D6. On a 1, he attempts to eat the player. Roll again, and with a second 1, the player is eaten. On 2-6, he squirms free, and is placed lying down on a randomly selected adjacent square(if occupied, the original occupant is pushed down and back). Note that the player that squirmed free must make an armor check. This does not cause a turnover unless he was carrying the ball.
Bone-head: Roll a D6 before taking any actions for this player. On a 1, they stand around trying to remember where they are and cannot act this turn. In addition, they lose their tackle zone until they roll something other than a 1 on their turn. Note that if a Blitz action was declared for this player, the team loses its blitz action for the turn.
Really Stupid:As Bone-head, but will not act on a 1-3. If a player from the same team(who is not really stupid) is in an adjacent square, a +2 may be added to this roll.
Take Root:Roll 1D6 for the player before each match. On a 1-3, the player is slumbering in a forest somewhere and misses the first half of the match, but will return for the second half.
Wild Animal:Roll 1D6 before attempting any action other than a Block with a wild animal. On a 1-3, he simply stands and roars and the action is wasted.
