I can't remember who said it but I think it was Jeffrey, we want a realis
tic flavor not exact realism.  I don't care if orc #1 broke his rib or
 no
t, the minus 2 DX penalty is good enough.  When I specifically want to
 ta
rget something there are aimed shots rules. 

 

  

 

 As long as it seems right, generally we don't mess with it.  But if s
ome
thing seems wonky, out of wack or too easy then you change it.  That i
s y
our option, could you adapt your tactics to David's rules if he is GM? Su
re one thing might be more pole arms and more ranged weapons in your part
y group.  Another might targeting priority.  Again as long as it 
is fun g
o with it.
 

  

 

 Some people like vanilla, other might like chocolate and still other mig
ht want Neapolitan ice cream.  It's all personal taste.  Arggh no
w I am h
ungry.

      And now to be fair, boomerang shield etc aside!
      Some things that ARE realistic about TFT:
      1. Melee combat is deadly and numbers will defeat the 
greatest her
o
      2. Good formations and tactics will wipe the floor aga
inst uncoord
inated
      mob (but see 1)
