(TFT) Heroes versus Jay's football pros

[PvK <pvk@oz.net>]

Jay, I think you came off (to me, somehow, too) as saying your NFL characters would have some level-30 attributes, which in this later post it now seems you wouldn't. I agree with the poster who said 30 is theoretical human maximum for a gifted person, more or less, and I don't remember having any human NPC's with a 30 in anything.

20 was more like the usual max for anyone except the really amazing exceptional people.

Mega warriors might have up to 26 or so ST, if only to be able to have some guys using greatswords one-handed for shock and awe.

Arch mages did have IQ's in the 20's.

A few heroes had DX a bit above 20. They sort of defined what the best of the best was like.

Plenty of great heroes only had one attribute above 15, and it was under 20.

I would not rate NFL players any higher than TFT heroes. More like typical values I would expect are:

NFL running back ST 12 DX 18 IQ 11
NFL linebacker ST 18 DX 12 IQ 10
NFL quarterback ST 14 DX 17 IQ 15

Extremely strong linebacker ST 25
Extremely agile running back DX 24

They do have advanced levels of various football talents.

Jay, you seem to have even gone one level further and invented a mechanic for keeping the attributes that low (other than aging), which I think is very cool, i.e.:

The best of the best probably do top out in the 30's for a stat... at the
peak of their game.
The way I've set it up, it takes a crazy lot of downtime "practice and
training" to keep up a stat in the 20ish level.
Figures trying to maintain 60ish points really don't have time for random
adventuring as their schedule is too full.
Ergo, I don't worry too much about mega-stat player Figures because I've got
them locked down enough on their maintinance to keep them from getting too
froggy.
