[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3650597, member: 1465"] Well there are few things we really "need"... but the whole game is a balance between grouping things together and separate them apart, to get a nice level of choices without making it too hard to choose. You could remove all skills and just use ability rolls, with fixed bonuses from level. But you could also split each skill into subskill, used for different things. It all boils down to what is your favourite "amount of differentiation". From there you get DMs who use just one type of saving throw for everything, and DMs who split Will rolls between perception/willpower/insight/ecc. So do you "need" Concentration? Better to ask if you like it or not, and of course you're always entitled to change the game to suit what you like most (but beware of the hidden consequence... :) ). [/QUOTE]
