Re: (TFT) 1 point of 'damage' vs. 1 point of Fatigue

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

Ahh, the old fst vs st question.

Like most things, it depends.

By canon, a wizard casting spells uses fst which makes them easier to kill (absent a common house rule about unconsciousness).  So in that instance handing the player a loss of fst does not indicate (necessarily) any non-lethalness.

Similarly a house rule we used to play was that you lost 1 fst if you spent st turns engaged in combat.  Long stretches of 
nonstop combat wear you out quickly (with long, and quickly, varying by character) which also made it easier to get killed

Now if you want to let fst not contribute to death, that is an easy house rule.  And if you want a brawling or subdual rules where attacks do half dam and half fatigue, or something, that is easy too.

At the end of the day, as is so often the case in our hobby, it depends on what you and your players prefer.

What visual picture am I offering my players by handing them a point of 
damage opposed to offering them a point of Fatigue?

Can I use that to tell competition that isn't to the death?

...
Also, on the "desert island" simple textbook example I ran up against the 
simple protiens.
The chickens are okat, but run rampant trying to support 30,000 and wild 
birds don't help much.
Ask 'artic' exlorers.
The high ground with good views of the ocean are paramount here to SEE the 
tuna schools and other protean sources from a really BIG area that ISN'T a 
tiny textbook example...
As much as I try and isolate it never works...
...
Being a GM is vaguly like running a casino...
If your 'joint' can't well backup a players roll of three ones then maybe 
you never should have been there like that to begin with...
...
Also of note from a data standpoint;
A gram of TNT is about 700 calories or roughly 3000 joules.
Hello fST and dammage.
fST is how many 5sec turns to expend 700 calories?
