Skills
A quick cheat sheet for skills from the CRP (aka LRB6) edition of Blood Bowl. This is intended for coaches familiar with skills and new coaches should always refer to the official CRP rules for a full understanding of a skill.
As a rule of thumb, each re-roll skill may be used only once per turn.
