Subject: [PATCH] Add pickStringChance; make chance of generic description
 depend on possible descriptions, not all of them

Previously, if there were 10 possible descriptions for an action, the chance of getting the normal text was only 1 in 12. Now, only descriptions whose criteria are met count towards this chance
