Michael,
    My feelings exatly.  As one player told me "More is less.  Less is 
more."  Another player, who specializes in finding loop-holes in the rules 
and abusing them (he made a hash of G.U.R.P.S.), told me that TFT was very 
hard to "rape" as it was not only very simple, but in may places 
specifically says what CAN'T be done.
    A perfect example of this, and one that suprises many long term TFT 
players, is this little tid bit from the magic system.  It's under the 
section on THROWN SPELLS and lays a very serious limitation on them.

    "Only one Blur, one Dazzle, one Stone Flesh, on Shock shield, etc., can 
be cast on any given figure at a time.  These spells are not cumulative"
    -Advanced Wizard, page 4

    Many high powered characters had magic items with both Stone Flesh and 
Blur on them.  As it turns out they can only have one "Activated" at a time. 
 This cause a major reduction in super characters.
