Re: (TFT) Newb



Personally I've never agreed with that sorta evaluation of points... to me it always seemed inherent in the rules that 30 was pretty much the theoretical limit of any human and most people never got even close, while 20's were 'heroic' levels, in the sense that if you had an ST of 25 or so, you could be seen as a 'strength hero' not unlike a Hercules character (though obviously more 'realistic' in that you're not THAT much greater than everyone else). Most people who are actually heroes (that is, good fighters, stealthy thieves, intelligent traveling wizards, and so on, but not really legends in and of themselves- any legends would have more to do with actions than abilities) have stats in the high teens, in my view.

The main reason I play it that way is thats just how most campaigns i've been in framed it, and given that for a lot of stats you start getting special abilities instead of regular bonuses starting in the high teens, that seems like a good cut off point for being 'expert' but not 'best' at said ability.... however, games that work your way also make sense for me, i just think its harder to justify within TFT rules....

I've come to similar conclusions as to the Jobs Table over time but would still argue that a "secondary" school football player would be in the "teen" range of stats, while "college" level players would be in the 20ish range
and pros might get to the 30's.

Big Hero's get to play with big stats I'd think.

I think you have a better picture of this kindda stuff in a real- world sense
than I do however and would like to hear your view on such a stance?
