Re: (TFT) Double damage charge attacks with a shift ?!?
Again, modeling realism vs a game. I think the shift attack charge is a
perfectly fine tactic. From a game design it's quite brilliant in
fact. To me there's really not that much difference between that and
getting a +2, as well as a charge, when you simply brace with the
weapon. It's all wrapped up in the tactical use of the weapon inside the
world that the game creates.
The reason I love TFT so much is that the rules are so tightly written
so that all aspects of the rules flow together to make a consistent,
whole gaming experience. You can tinker with the rules, but it's a
slippery slope. Go too far and your house rule will cascade throughout
the system and you've really stopped playing TFT.
So, for all you realism gamers on this list what do you consider to be a
game system that models combat reality the closest? Chivalry and
Sorcery? Or has the really realistic combat game never been written? We
used to play a lot of RuneQuest and thought that the hit location system
worked fairly well. Head shots, loosing the use of an arm, etc. It
seemed fairly realistic. Of course the more "realism" that you put into
a game the more complicated the game seems to become. And in my case I'm
a story driven gamer, not a numbers pusher like some gamers I know.
Perhaps that's why I'm attracted to TFT and not some of the other
systems, D&D included.
Curious on everyone's thoughts.
David
