That's what they said about THAC0.
I get what your saying but the old man in me likes things the way there where in my day. Good stats are high, math is mandatory, and..... well ......some other thing I forgot. Get off my lawn.
I don't love non intuitive mechanics like the above where a low rank in a skill is better.
