Re: (TFT) High Level Play

[Joey Beutel <mejobo@comcast.net>]

Certainly... in one of my campaigns one guy got up to 50 (everyone  
else had died along the way and kept coming back as lower level  
friends, and eventually dying or retiring and coming back as someone  
new... but this one guy stayed the same).

He ended up dying in a fight against some basic baddies (around 31-36  
points each) and thats despite having friends on his side... he got  
too head strong, stopped thinking, got surrounded and taken down in  
only two turns....
