Re: (TFT) High Level Play



I know what you mean, but my players aren't smart enough to figure that one out/ they enjoy the adventuring life style/ they are playing characters that couldn't really get that high in society (they are low born in a world run by aristocrats, they are pirates and have no power that supports them, etc).

Point is: if they are just high attribute, that means they are just harder to kill. If they also have power, then you have a new issue (as you pointed out): the game becomes one of strategy and politics. Who can lead their kingdom/criminial empire/pirate boat to victory? Its not gonna be often that you can throw a few 32 pointers at them, but you can see whose army wins... and if yours loses, then it doesn't matter how high attribute you are, cause they outnumber you hundreds to 1.

Yes, higher attribute characters can be taken by multiple NPCs. But smart high attribute characters have temporal power. So rather than a disgruntled former associate hiring a tavern thug to bring back the head for a few silver, think more along the line of a disgruntled former associate king sending an army as a matter of policy. At higher levels of temporal power, it's about the politics, not so much about personal revenge. Sure, if you're dumb enough to expose yourself, you'll get killed easily. But if you don't, then taking down your organization is as good a result.
