An alternative to attribute totals to compare characters
As ITL 16 says "But note that many really exceptional individuals will have a stat total of 36 or less, but augment it by knowing many, many more spells or talents than they started with."
So I made a calculator to judge how many hundreds of XP (CP) it would take to build a character up from zero attributes and zero gear. Just enter a valid character and this will determine the CP for you. (If you enable Javascript.) https://www.hcobb.com/tft/tftcalc.html

Nice job!
100 XP = 1 CP does simplify things. |

Re: An alternative to attribute totals to compare characters
Way cool!
And certainly useful under the new ITL rules. I think I liked the old days better, when you knew two 40 AP characters had to have earned exactly the same XP to become 40 point characters. Now with Talents, Spells and even wealth acting like tax shelters for "hiding" XP, comparing veteran characters requires a computer! LOL

Outstanding. Though Quick Draw deleted all previous Talents

Now I'm putting this new point under DX -- I'm tired of missing those rolls. No, wait! I can upgrade my weapon to broadsword if I put it under ST. Yeah baby, I'll be doing 2d6 damage next time! That could be 12 hits! Yeah, that's what I'll do.... oh wait a minute, 3 characters died today because I missed that roll to disbelieve, so Id better put it on IQ. I mean it's only 9, I feel so dumb, I should get it to 10. Hang on, if it goes on DX I could probably switch to chainmail and and and... I was like a kid in a candy store store when I made 100 XP :)

Re: An alternative to attribute totals to compare characters
This is brilliant. I am going to do this now.
As far as mana staff goes, offer 1 new att point or 2 mana staff initially. Then based on the approximate equivalent, change the ratio. Or every couple of att points the ratio goes up by one. |
