No, I meant Youth pull, draftee, player to join a brand new team.... |

No, I meant Youth pull, draftee, player to join a brand new team.... ahh, OK .... understood. another question ..... from the manual :- "On drafted players: 1 out of 7 for trait #1, 1 out of 25 for trait #2, 1 out of 200 for trait #3" Are the probabilities for non-drafted players lower than the figures above ? p.s. apologies for the never-ending questions, I'm just trying to learn more about the game and to get things clearer in my head

Hi Pete,
you are writing the rules, and you are generally doing a fantastic job, but in this case I must disagree. Surely it helps in any aspect of life to have high INT, but K/P have tons of time to make up their mind how/where to kick/punt before the snap. Any other position needs to read the game after the snap, therefore having a lot less time for analysis and decision making. Further, after the snap you may be confronted with an infinite number of game situations, while before the snap the formations/options appear limited, at least to me. Any way you decide, I will support your decision, but I find it hard to comprehend why a player for standard situations needs to be more INT than players who actually play the game. |

Hm, maybe you could think of INT in a more generous way. Here is what I mean: We have different definitions of Strength in RZA. Like strenght for a QB is arm-strenght, while for OL and DL it's pure power. INT for a Kicker could mean kind of cleverness in kicking situations - or maybe even dexterity which by certain means should be affected by your brain.

No no, if there is something wrong we should discuss it. It is really as simple as that. I am not a dictator, except sometimes  |

Sure? based on my experience INT could be a driver for interpreting game situations and do smarter kicking... Example ? Sounds to me like you are making excuses for trying to use a skill that blatantly doesn't fit. Apart from anything else kickers and punters don't interpret game situations - coaches do. If you are saying that the kicker is going to be in charge of deciding whether to onside, whether to kick away from a hester, whether to go for a squib kick or not, whether to risk going for a 55 yarder then I'd politely suggest you are wrong. Really ... I think the only way you could justify Intelligence for K and P is for adjusting for things like Wind and possibly other weather conditions. But really in this case ... you could say a 50 Intelligence K would have a modest advantage over a 1 Intelligence K and even then only in certain circumstances.
