I'd give them speed, punting, blocking, and pumpfake

Most long threads could be avoided if people just paid more attention to my posts, since I generally have the answer:

Probably a better idea than what it is now. Apparently there's a big emphasis on having all archetypes with the same number of majors, but there's no particular reason why they should. You can't replace Vision or Confidence with Strength or Agility because that would make it too appealing compared to the other choices, but what if strength became a fifth major? Then you end up with:

HB Combo
5'9" - 6'2", 200-230 Lbs
Major Carrying Confidence Speed Vision Strength (+.4)
Minor Agility Catching Stamina Jumping (+.25)
Bonus SA's - None
Penalty SA's - None

That way it's never going to be as fast as a true elusive or scat back, nor as good at breaking tackles as the power archetype, yet it truly would be a middle ground between the two.

I guess you can't give combo speed, carrying, and strength because that might be too much, but my above suggestion may be a good compromise.

And remember combo has no SA bonus so that sucks too.

Shhh. It doesn't matter if the idea is good, only if someone nice or sycophantic posts it. Quick, someone with a spotless forum record re-word my brilliant solution.

OK what do you want me to say? The other HB choices have 3 of the 4 main attributes....Combo has 2 and no bonus SA....Just remove it or give it 3 of the 4 main attributes....

speed, strength, and carrying?

agility, strength, and carrying?

Damn!

I just noticed combo TE got nerfed as well....

WTF!

One is overpowered, one is already taken.

Powerbacks have them.

They have Strength and Carrying >_>

speed > carrying

For a combo back I agree.

And a "fast powerback" is a combo back...sooooooooo......
