[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 6231029, member: 6688277"] Yes I did. In fact D&D has become increasingly closer and closer to that system. First they introduced skills as the ability system alone was not good enough. They aligned those skills with very specific abilities. Now the latest playtest packet explains that depending on what the character wants to do, skills are not always going to be attached to one specific ability - this is very much like WW. Then you have people on this forum speaking against the actual ability score saying we should drop it, in favour of just modifiers =WW. And lets not forget the game within a game fan-made E6 and P6 which cap the level to stop the ever bloating of HP which requires the entire system to keep expanding numbers wise to deal with the ever growing number of HP. WW starts with a cap. Your "Faith" suggestion is something I have been toying with for years. Perhaps Clerics could have a Faith Score and a Combat Score (BAB) they could select one they would want to improve as they rise in lvls. They could become more fighter or priestly (spells), is that what you meant by including it in the classes as opposed to laying it all on the ability? You would have to do something similar then maybe for the other spellcasters. Agreed. [/QUOTE]
