Well put.

In any event, TFT is a blast to play when PC's are in the zone of stat scores around which the main rules were crafted, and quickly gets boring or stupid as you raise stats above that zone. Even with the restrictions imposed in the Legacy Edition, it is imaginable, at least as a white-room exercise, to have a PC with somewhere around 52 stat points (start at 8, 8, 16; go to 8, 8, 24 using XP, then to 14, 14, 24 using wishes). But I don't think you will have any more fun than you would have had writing up a scrappy norm-core 32 point PC and just seeing where your adventures lead you.
