Please forgive me for asking this again. The Forum "search" feature is inoperative, so I cannot find the last time the question was answered for me.
What is the Distractor Rating? How is it used?
Thanx!

basically, it can be used to distract the ref from a pin attempt. If the DR is a 6, you'd have to roll a 6 or lower inorder for the distraction to work
Personally, I use it for DQs as well...
HOpe that helps a bit

How is it used?Thanx! The distractor rating is used when you want to use the option of having the manager or valet distract the referee. You would only do this when the opponent is about to suffer a possible pin. If the opponent is in a situation where he has to roll his PIN, you can use the distractor rating to have the manager attempt to distract the referee and prevent the pin from being counted. You have to roll whatever the distractor rating is or less in order for it to succeed. |

Remind me: is a valet supposed to get one 'distraction' attempt and one 'interference' attempt per match?

If the Distraction is successful, on what Level of Offense does the recovering character now roll?

Valets get distractor only, no interference attempt. The text on Strutter's card implies otherwise, as do Doomsayer's rules and point 10 on the rules update. To be honest, though, there are a lot of charts and rules for this sort of thing. I just use the charts (pin save, outside interference, any character-specific stuff) and ignore the others. |

Also, if a manager is successful at distracting the ref during a pin or submission attempt, the wrestler getting pinned DOES add a token to his PIN.
Example: Wolf is pinning Bounty Hunter, but R. Guile successfully distracts the ref. Bounty Hunter adds one token to his pin even though the referee was distracted and Wolf did not roll on his pin attempt of Bounty Hunter.
I got that ruling straight from Mr. Filsinger himself awhile ago. I used to play "if he didn't attempt the pin, the guy getting pinned doesn't add one to his PIN," but I was wrong.

Strutter and Doomsayer are not valets, they are managers. I always assumed those terms were interchangeable. They're both non-wrestlers who accompany wrestlers to the ring. It's just that a 'valet' is usually a young female, while a 'manager' is usually an older male. Besides, the interference rules just refer to 'ringside ally'. For the record, is there anyone in NB you'd consider a valet? I get the impression this is something that makes more sense if you've been following the game from the start. Were the rules for managers/valets in the 2089 book? |

Were the rules for managers/valets in the 2089 book? There are no valets in NB. Sweet Thing, when she debuted was a valet. Simply accompanied Vanity to the ring and could attempt distraction once, with no interference. Darla was the same with Brainstorm at first also. When the females that would accompany wrestlers to the ring also began to wrestle themselves, they became defined as "managers," since physically they could actually interfere in a match, whereas a "weak" valet could not. |

I remember the rules initially said a valet couldn't use interference, but that might've changed (I'm only at 2090). According to the 2090 booklet, a manager can interfere outside the ring (like a ringside ally), and do a distraction AND an outside/manager interference. Valets could only distract.
And if the distraction is successful, the wrestler on offense stays on Level 3.

As stated, valets can only distract, not interfere.
I think all of the "official" valets were women--Sweet Thing, Amazonia (who became a manager in 2090), Cassandra, Darla, and a few others I may be forgetting. Doomsayer also couldn't interfere at first, due to his status as a cripple.
In kayfabe wrestling terms, a manager differs from a valet in that in a manager-wrestler partnership, the manager is the boss, or at least an equal. In a valet-wrestler partnership, the wrestler is the boss.
