It has been proposed before. Heck, d20 Modern does something very close to that.Of course, I don't see it happening with D&D, as it would change too much. Some will even argue that we could as well have a skill-based game, rather than a level-based game. And why not? I mean, the advantage of a level-based game is simplicity. You said "I play a 5-th level thief" and everyone understood and knew what role you would fit in the party. Now, "I play a 5-th level rogue" does not mean you have any thief-like ability: you may be a diplomat instead, or whatever. The current system is a compromise between a level-based and a skill-based system, without the clarity of the former and without the customizability of the latter. A compromise can still be good, but I'm not sure the best one has been chosen.</blockquote>
