Death Test Attributes

[madhopper50]

I've searched for a thread that has updated Death Test attributes to TFT standards. Many fighter stats don't have an IQ stat. As a side note, I've been using the PDF version of Death Test and finally open the hard copy and noticed it was missing pages 7-18. Anyone else have this problem?

I didn't have the problem of missing pages.

The reason that the IQs are missing is that when the game first came out, it was made to play as a stand alone fighting system. Most arena type battles or various scenarios with terrain or the micro-games like Death Test. It wasn't originally set up as a full RPG.

The fighting book was Melee or Advanced Melee. The magic battle book was Wizard or Advanced Wizard. Later, in the Labyrinth was written to tie it all together as an RPG. That is Classic TFT.

When it was re-released back in 2018, all three wrapped up into the new In The Labyrinth which is referred to as Legacy TFT.

Some of the Fighters have a stated IQ, most don't. Back in the day I had Advance Melee & Wizard and ITL, what is ironic my new Melee was part of the TFT Kickstarter but I never checked it page by page until now.

If there's no listed IQ, assume IQ 8, and talents for the weapons carried.

Yes, I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Note that the fighter cards in Legacy are IQ 10 (and hence generally 34 point characters) to deal with Illusions and control person spells.

I look at my Legacy copy of DT and on the last page, the fighter table states, "Assume a fighter is human and has IQ 8 unless..."

Where do you see that the IQ is now 10?
