block die

[matteocorti]

Blood Bowl, also a Games Workshop product, introduces the block die with special notation Xdb or roll block dice X times, blocker/defender chooses (if more than 1 die) with X being one of 3, 2, 1 (usually omitted), -2, -3. Alternatively words for & against can be used to describe a Xdb (in this case X > 0). As an example 2db against is equal to -2db which are both short ways of saying 2 dice block, defender chooses from the results rolled.
