I agree, that's why I said 'after a certain point' :-)

Except that combat Heroes DO have to worry about IQ. Warrior/Veteran, 
Running, Tactics/Strategy, Alertness, Missle Weapons/Thrown 
Weapons/Fencing... 

All these add up. All these make a high-point Hero very, very tough 
beyond what having a big weapon and high DX do. 

The way I see it, sure, Wizards can be pretty powerful. But they really 
only have their spells to give them that power. Heroes have Talents, 
and those cover a broader spectrum of abilities. 

What I really need to do is to sit down and figure out, usng the jobs 
and aging tables, how many points a human, say, gets up to in the 
course of an average life. At that point we can start thinking about 
whether the fact that TFT starts breaking at a higher point values 
actually matters (modulo Youth, etc.)

Because I'm pretty sure a hundred point character isn't likely. Even 
Tollenkar only had an IQ of 20.
