Araby

From the depths of the Araby Peninsula the nomadic people of the desert have ventured into the Old World in marauding war-bands for centuries, now they come with a new vengeance, to be masters at the sport of Blood Bowl.

Nomadic Arabian Blood Bowl teams originate from two opposite schools of thought, Holy and Unholy. The first of these, Holy, is one of divine reverence, that they are sent forth to battle infidels of their faith, and the Blood Bowl pitch is a natural proving ground. The second, Unholy, is one of much darker portents. These teams seek out the services of forbidden necromantic allies and are thoroughly shunned in all social circles, but outright loved by the fans when they take to the pitch.

Arabian teams are headed by an egomaniac Emir, who acts as the team owner. Occasionally the Emir will hire a trusted Vizier to guide, coach, and direct the team.

Araby-Holy

• 
  The first of these is that he has the uncanny ability to foresee the future, and because of this advises the Emir before the match of some impending doom awaiting his team. The Vizier may use this ability to negate some of the advantages held by the opposing coach.
  

• 
  On a 1-3 the Vizier's visions do not help the team.
  
• 
  On a 4-6, the Vizier's vision is very accurate. The Holy Araby coach can see any support staff or special play cards for his opponent for the match and can choose one card or On-pitch Spellcaster spell that cannot be used for this match. The Vizier's visions have foretold of this specific occurrence and alter the outcome as the Emir has alerted his team before hand to avoid the result.

  Secondly, the Vizier is responsible for negotiating the Match Winnings at the end of the game. Before calculating the Match Winnings, a team with a Vizier may roll a D6: on a result of 1-3, proceed as normal; on a result of 4-5, add a +1 modifier to the Match Winnings roll; and on a result of 6, add a +2 modifier to the Match Winnings roll.
