As an aside, the TFT Line Editor, Guy McLimore, was part of a small company named MicroTactix - an early pioneer in the downloadable game biz. They had their own TFT-like suite of games (Compact Combat/Budget Battlefield for larger battles, and Simply Roleplaying! for the RPG aspect). They published the tactical scenario called BAR-Barians, which was a big tavern fight with improvised weapons. I can't find my printed copy any more, but I did scan it all in back when I had it and have it in my gaming folder. It was an inspiration for this scenario. I have one of their other skirmish scenarios - Night of the Red Jackal - that I keep thinking about porting to TFT and playing. Ah, free time, wherefore art thou???? |

Re: Tactical Encounter #3 - Panic at the Thisco!
If your strength is less than that of the weapon you are trying to wield, your DX is -1 and damage is -0.5 for each ST you lack (at the end, round up damage.) This means that, at ST 10 vs 11, wielding a shortsword is the same, assuming that you'd put your extra point into DX. Which is strange.
