I loved the concept, but the execution (as a pseudo-prestige class) was sorely lacking. I agree with everything you have stated, but I would add this...UA was a significant power bump to a lot of classes (weapon specialization, spells, new rules, etc.)! And it introduced other classes that were insanely overpowered by 1e standards (the Cavalier, the Paladin as subclass of Cavalier, because, you know the Lawful Stupid Paladin clearly wasn't OP enough).The TA, on the other hand, was, if anything, underpowered by 1e standards, by taking a class that was already hurting* and giving it a prestige option that took away the only good abilities of the class and replacing them with abilities that the party wouldn't need.*Hurting because Gygax liked to take the Thief out behind the woodshed and beat it mercilessly with the Nerf Bat whenever he had spare time. I guess we all need a hobby?</blockquote>
