In my experience, this will just discourage people from trying things, for fear of critical failure. Making a natural 1 a simple failure sounds reasonable, though.

Not sure why we want to add this back in when we are ripping out magic item bonuses...?

This would be nice, but will require additional changes to monster defenses, and is a hidden nerf to some powers (any Weapon attack that targets a non-AC defense). It doesn't really seem relevant to the topic at hand, which is removing the ubiquitous level bonus.

This is a fantastic idea. I'd increase the damage too. With the automatic enhancement and critical bonuses, unarmed combat becomes feasible.

Unless you are also nerfing stat bumps, the result is that light armor wearers will have higher AC than heavy armor wearers, which seems backwards.

Not bad, but it means ability score (-1 to +5) matters more than training (+0 to +3). Maybe you could allow the class skills (and multiclass free skills) to be used for Skill Focus as well as Skill Training.
