Dragon Warriors was one of those moments for me.<br />In TFT your magic is based on IQ sometimes DEX. You typically had to roll to get the spell off correctly against one of these. Casting a spell, however, also sapped your strength (ST). As ST was also your HP casting weakened you. I always like this idea; basically spell points with teeth.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231609275892907901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-90304898208434275542011-03-15T13:07:11.406-07:002011-03-15T13:07:11.406-07:00@Mike: Since I am completely unfamiliar with TFT, ...@Mike: Since I am completely unfamiliar with TFT, I have no idea!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-71310845137473467002011-03-15T10:38:49.064-07:002011-03-15T10:38:49.064-07:00Sounds like you're on a roll.
