Ah, that would be the big thing; thanks. I was thinking only about the defensive side of things, and where defense is concerned, I'd rather be an unarmored barbarian or swashbuckler in MtM/GURPS than in TFT.

But things change on offense, as you note, where TFT hoses the armored fighter while MtM/GURPS doesn't. Got it.
