The "two dimensional" magic system - spell power depending on both IQ level 
and St cost, in a way that can't be smashed into a single figure of merit 
(e.g. "spell level")

The 5-second combat round - not too long, not too short. 

The way that most all characters find it useful to have good scores in all 
three attributes. 



> - What are the top 3 things that TFT OVER SIMPLIFIES.

The rules for initiating HTH combat

The rules for hiding and finding things

The rules for overland travel

Disengaging - not complicated so much as just awkward and unintuitive

The one-turn Dx penalty for taking a "solid" 5 point hit. 

The use of different rules for dagger marksmanship vs "normal" called shots.
