Sotek's Challenge

Special competitions & prizes

• Death Bearer : The skink with the most completions and touchdowns during the tournament will receive the Gold Death Mask. The Mask grants the wearer +1AV and the Foul Appearance physical skill. The Mask cannot be combined with a Magic Helmet, but if the Skink winning this competition already has one, he can pass on the Helmet to another skink.

• Undead Scourge : The Saurus with the most casualties during the tournament will receive the Glyph of Potec along with a bonus skill of his choosing (general or strength skill). The Glyph grants the wearer the ability to harm Undeads. When this Saurus will roll an armor roll on an Undead player that he knocks down or fouls, he can add +1 to armor and injury (thus, a Saurus with MB and the Glyph would roll armor as if he had Claw RSF against an Undead player). Undead players are Vampires, Ghouls, Mummies, Wights, Zombies and Skeletons.

• Primeval : The Kroxigor with the most casualties during the tournament will be given a possible choice (well, the coach will decide, as Kroxigors don't think much) : It will either be a bonus skill (for already "Smart" Kroxigors), the removal of the Really Stupid negative skill automatically on their next skill roll or a bonus skill and the transformation from Really Stupid to Bone Head plus a Magic Helmet.

• The winner of the Sotek's Challenge will receive a special Skink, a White Crested Skink, the Mark of the Old Ones. If the player is won by a premier division team, the Skink can be sent to the B-team for training, though he will have to be transfered upon reaching his fifth skill (101 spp) or leave the B-team for good. Here are the White Crested Skink's starting statistics.

In addition, the White Crested Skink does not suffer the usual +1 to injuries typical to other normal Skinks.

Special rules

Every game, each team is given a Healing Scroll and This Will Hurt a Bit card in addition to their other cards (i.e. these bonus cards should be used in the event of fatalities and permanent injuries occuring by way other than fouling). Priests of Sotek are also there to ensure that no players will miss the next game (all mng's are cured between the games). Also, KO recoveries are 3+ instead of 4+.

Absolutely no winnings are earned during the tournament. The spectators bring Skaven's body parts as payment to watch the tournament's games.

The Kroxigors in the different tournament games will be controled mentally by any one Slann Mage present for the game. As a result of this, no Kroxigor has to roll for his negative skill when he wants to take his action.

Fouling : This tactics is tolerated during the tournament, but every casualty caused by a foul will be downgraded to a KO by the Priests of Sotek (note that the spp's for the casualty are still earned by the fouler). There is a referee taking part in the games, but note that a player cannot be ejected on a foul by getting a double. Bribe the Ref #1 is the only way to eject a fouler, and the card can only take effect if a Dirty Player is fouling (Bribe the Ref #2 & #3 are considered #1 for the tournament). Since a double doesn't mean anything on a foul in this tournament, the coaches should roll "armX +Y +Z" when fouling instead of "foulX +Y +Z.

For each bonus mvp they are receiving, the team getting an handicap will receive a bonus "Zap" spell performed by a Slann Mage.

• Special Zap Spell : The spell lands on the intended target on a 3+. If it misses (1 or 2), the spell scatters from the intended target by the same number. A toad cannot pick up or carry the ball, and if it enters a square in which the ball is lying, it will bounce once. The player hit remains a toad until a TD is scored or the half ends. Note that unlike the normal Zap spell, no TO will result of this, even if the ball carrier is hit.
