> On the other hand, if you just had the characters, say, SPEND the XP to buy a point of Psionics
I already covered this.

...a GM may play some NPCs as reluctant or slow to improve. Baffling, sometimes even angering the players characters...

In play testing the Players, not their characters, could get quite forceful
and demanding about NPC's or a hireling spending their exp right away. (more so with a hireling.)
Kind of like your comments are being forceful and demanding about what TFT is and is not.
It is a shame to reject this simple insight so quickly, as I have so much more to share. But remember, one does not have to agree, like, or even endorse the
idea of a "Hidden attribute".
And I value your comments on it greatly.
Thank you for taking a moment to read.
