Coaches should note Gifts of Dionysus :

• A coach cannot induce bribes if there is a player with the Sneaky Git skill AND/OR the Secret Weapon skill on the roster. Goblin and Snotling teams have pleased the God and received special permission to induce bribes even if their roster contains players with the Secret Weapon skill (but NOT the Sneaky Git skill!).

Champions of Zeus (Tier1):

Chaos Dwarves, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Lizardmen, Shambling Undead, Underworld Denizens.

Champions of Hera (Tier2):

Amazons, Norse, Orcs, Skaven, Wood Elves

Champions of Poseidon (Tier3):

High Elves, Humans, Necromantic Horror, Tomb Kings, Elven Union, Vampires.

Champions of Demeter (Tier4):

Chaos Renegades, Khorne, Old World Alliance, Slann.

Champions of Hades (Tier5):

Black Orcs, Chaos Chosen, Imperial Nobility, Nurgle.

Champions of Hestia (Tier6):

Each coach may choose a blessing.

Spartan Roster :

No blessings.

The roster is created with the above rules.

Blessing of Hermes: (Extra gold)

One or more Skill Points can be exchanged for gold at a ratio of 30k per 1SP. Gold earned this way MUST NOT take team value above 1200K before added skills.

Blessing of Artemis: (Skill stacking)

By sacrificing ONE Skill Point from their Gift of Apollo total, the coach can add a second skill to players on their roster. The number of players with stacked skills is limited as follows:

1 Skill Stack for Zeus/Hera (Tier 1-2),

2 Skill Stacks for Poseidon/Demeter (Tier 3-4)

3 Skill Stacks for Hades/Hestia (Tier 5-6)

A Primary Skill costs 1 SP , a Secondary Skill 2 SP.

Example: A High Elf team (Poseidon/Tier 3) would lose 1 skill point to put 2 skill stacks on the roster, and would now have 7 SP to spend on skills. If the coach gives two of their catchers both the block and dodge skill (both Primary skills costing 1 SP each), this would leave 3 SP to spend on the rest of the team.

Blessing of Ares: (Star Players)

One (1) Star Player can be rostered for Tier 1-4 teams, up to two (2) Star Players can be rostered for Tier 5-6 teams.

Star Players in couples count as two Star Players for the roster.

Every Star Player acquired costs additional Skill Points as follows:

Star player cost: 000-099k, lose 1 Skill point.

Star player cost: 100-199k, lose 2 Skill points.

Star player cost: 200-299k, lose 3 Skill points.

Star player cost: 300k-399k, lose 4 skill points.

Exiled in Tartarus: (Banned Star Players)

Griff Oberwald, Hakflem Skuttlespike, Morg 'n' Thorg, Bomber Dribblesnot, Cindy Piewhistle, Deeproot Strongbranch, Kreek Rustgouger, Estelle La Veneaux,Dribl & Drull, Varag Ghoul-Chewer.

The same Star Player cannot play in a game where both coaches have rostered them.

Blessing of Athena: (Extra skill point)

The coach may spend 1 Skill Point more than their Gifts of Apollo total, as long as the usage of the Skill Points from the coach does not exceed in total 3 times that skill in the roster (including built-in skills).

Example: A dark elf team with 4 blitzers, 2 witches and 5 LineElves can have this extra skill as long as the Skill Points from the tier and the extra Skill Point from the blessing do not add the Block skill because there are already more than 3 but not from the skill point usage, and can add maximum 1 more Dodge skill because there are already 2 in the roster and by spending 1 Skill Point the total number reaches 3.
