RE: (TFT) Rick's Fantasy Forum article

["Pasha and Rick Smith" <pnrsmith@istar.ca>]

Hi Everyone,
	The message below dropped into my mail box a 
few minutes ago. Who knows where it was or who it
talked to on its adventures in Cyberspace...


	I never published the Fantasy Forum, tho I
did write a few articles for it.  The rights to 
articles reverted to authors after publications so
you would have to contact who ever wrote that article.

	Rick

Michael,
     I am not aware of this one.  Can you point me to the subject heading
on 
this so I can read it in the archives.  According to the list I have 
compiled the biggest complain is the HTH system, second it the "Lack of 
Scaleability" and third is the "disorganized hard to find organization of 
the books".  Actually I found very few complaints about the magic system.
     So what is thought-powered spells.  Is this the optional rules that 
were discussed about using IQ for fatigue?  I have seen a lot of info on 
that, both in the archives and on various TFT web pages.

Well, it's an article from Rick's old Fantay Forum magazine. Thought
powered spells is an attempt to fix the "Barbarian Wizard' problem. Some
people dont like that an ST 30 wizard can also bend steel with his bare
hands. 

Yes, Thought-powered spells is using IQ for fatique. 1 IQ = 12 fST if you
haven't used it for *anything* else and 1 IQ = 1 fST if you have a higher
IQ than the highest spell/talent you have. There are other limitations
about what you can do with the type of spell (basically to prevent 12d6
fireballs and other abuses) but that's the basics. 

I'd love to see this posted with his permission.

Michael
