Default Re: The Woodsman Talent

I'm for keeping things clean and neat. Maybe, maybe, talents for various areas of the outdoors would be a simple add, but little things add up.

Maybe Woodsman should track more as Survival for all standard non-urban type environments, and in the case of extreme situations, the GM can decide to require a roll or some such, granting someone with Survival a better chance.

When I was introducing TFT to three 14 year olds, one of the comments I heard was "There are too many rules...".

Many teens these days are used to games doing the thinking for them, while they joystick their way through it. We don't want to dumb things down to that level, but for TFT to have a chance at taking hold with the iPhone generation care needs to be taken to avoid destroying what made TFT great in the first place, which is a quick but precise tactical system in a common-sense adventure world.

To complicate it with even more text is to risk losing that advantage.
