Re: (TFT) Nasty Hobbitses

Right, my point is that SOMETHING is going on that is inaccurate.

One should not be able to throw 12 dice of damage (approximately) in  
one turn in the form of shaken, and certainly not with any amount of  
accuracy.

One must realize that actually one can do many things in 5 seconds  
that TFT would require to take longer (or only allows you to do once  
in those five seconds). So really its just poorly written rules with  
regards to throwing stars.
