It's really a very different idea, and doesn't do what I'm looking to do. Not that I hate Area Knowledge, I just think it's used for other purposes. |

Re: Environmental Talents
My actual reason is given in the original post I made at the start of this thread. The third paragraph under "Philosophy" has the core of it. It has nothing to do with brevity of character sheets, though the brevity of TFT character sheets is something I would like to retain. If there is something I wrote in the first post that gave you the impression I was trying to shorten character sheets then please tell me what it was so I can clarify in later drafts.

Re: Environmental Talents
If I remember correctly, that would make it more like D&D where you have abilities and life levels that increase those abilities.

Re: Environmental Talents
Yes, and while it could be argued that rolling against some kind of difficulty rating (DC in newer D&D editions) w/ level or skill-based modifiers is a more accurate simulation of task resolution, I wouldn't want to replace TFT's attribute-dependant design.

Re: Environmental Talents
It's been 40 years since I played D&D. So, I'm referencing that time period.

Re: Environmental Talents
1e AC is the same idea (i.e. something you have to beat), but presented counter-intuitively IMO since lower numbers represent the harder challenge and therefore required a table to convert 'higher is better' die rolls into a success/fail result.
