Re: (TFT) House Rules?

Hey,
Thanks for sharing!
I definitely agree that 'Fencing' should just be 'Weapon Mastery'.
Interesting take on Priests.  I'm interested in more 'High Fantasy' priests
myself.  I'm thinking I might just make a 'Talent Tree' which would allow
people to learn a select number of associated spells that are related to the
God(s) with a Priest and High Priest Talent broadening the selection (kind of
the Gurps Magic suggestion).
I'm also thinking of broadening the attributes (something I know many, many
people have done....).  I think splitting them in Half equates fairly well and
allows for a bit more divergence in character builds especially at higher
level.

House rules:

We had quite a few characters mix Wizard and Hero. They just did the costs
whichever way was going to work best for that particular character. For
example, quite a few goldsmiths (and thieves) paid the 3 IQ for Mend, because
the campaign allowed a successful Mend to mend 1 carat of flaw in a gem (and
yes, gems were tracked as to the size and severity of their flaws).
We allowed characters to take Fencing for weapon forms other than Sword. To
us, it was just advanced fighting, whatever the weapon.
There was also a Shield Wall Talent. If you were using a shield, and you
shared a front hex with a friendly figure who also had the Shield Wall Talent,
then you also got the benefit of his shield. Made phalanxes work.
House rules for Priest and Theologian was that a Priest got 1 GM secret roll
to come out his way per session. Theologian got 2. If you prayed, the GM would
consider whether that roll was the one to manipulate. So the gods could
intervene, but not where you'd see it, and you never quite knew exactly when
they did.
