Re: (TFT) High Level Play

["John" <johnnyboytmm@juno.com>]

I may be repeating myself here, but 1 pt of strength is the difference between unconscious and dead (1st to 0)
and the difference between using a short sword and using a broadsword
and the difference in teh damge done with a1h spear vs a 2h spear
and the amount that cloth armor stops
and the amount a small sheild stops
and the amount that warrior prevents
and the amount that will power a 1st cost spell

Those are the definitions of St that make us all "playing the same game"  IMO.

Of course, within that same game, there are all sorts of games, run by, and for, all sorts of gaming groups.  that's the beauty of the hobby, and I think TFT.  A ice simple and clean ruleset that hangs together well, and does not get in the way of the game.

Of course, that opinion may well explain why I have played the game, substantially as written, for 30 yrs now.  YMMV of course.

What does 1 point of Strength mean exactally?

If you wanna allow a Connan that's three times as strong as the strongest 
"muggle" then the only way I know what your talking about is if the bloody 
term is defined ahead of time so I know what you mean by 36 ST.
As it is 36 ST may as well equal the following characters <$TF(Q
Has anybody ever considered that if a player gets their Figure up around 
Pomfrey brothers ST then they are likely to be able to beat their way outta 
much "standard" construstion?
If I make the pesants build with wattle and daub then there will be a 
pit/pond around most of that construction.
Any of those poor wattle and daub consturction guys would be screwed out 
where "I" live as the "soil" is practically sand.

I love bouncing theory with folks but the part that makes us all "playing 
the same game" is an agreement of the terms like 'what does 1 pt of ST 
mean?'
