Hahahaha, at last we have found it.  The worst part of unmodified TFT.  This 
I have heard before.  Last time it Was Stan Rydxewski, January 8, 2000.  He 
wrote...

    For all the other readers of this post, Rick steped in and pointed out 
the following.

    Anyway, the top three most annoying "features" to TFT layout...
1. Random order Talent and Spell descriptions
2. Organization of Monsters into categories
3. "The best way to improve a swordsman is with equipment"

    I would also like to point out that these three things are unique to 
TFT.  I submit they are part of what makes TFT a gem of a game, one that 
people keep coming back to after playing "so called" more realistic games.  
But be that as it may, it will continue to be my pleasure to bring up out of 
date perspectives on the game.
