I may be willing to deal with it if the ability damage is very simplified. I don't want to recalculate ability modifiers mid-combat. I am okay with tracking n points of ability damage, but I want that only to mean tha tsomething happens at n = ability score value, and that once an ability is damaged, I suffer some kind of drawback/penalty, say -2 to checks involving the ability, or maybe I take damage when I roll a 1 on a check on that abilit or whatever. But definitely not "5 points of Strength damage means my Strength is reduced from 16 to 11 and so my attack bonus is reduced by 3, and I lose 4 points of damage on melee attacks, also my max encumbrance is reduced and my full plate is wearing me down, so I lose 10 ft movement, and I no longer qualify for the following feats."</blockquote>
