Re: (TFT) Armor and great ST.

Yes, I have subsequently reviewed these in detail. While I admire the
thought and care that went into them, I find they are much too table heavy
and clumsy for my tastes. I want to develop something much more streamlined
and less table intensive, more along the lines of a handful of tables with
simple, common mechanic "meta-rules" associated with the attribute number
itself, that can be easily learnt and remembered, with an absolute minimum
of looking at tables.
