Getting rid of it is merely hiding it from sight, it still is there because it is a declaration of intent on how the character is going to be played. The LG & CE characters should still not see eye to eye even without the alignment system but even worse, the dm did not have a shorthand way to identify these conflicting characters without having to read the pages of background or long discussion with each player. 2) Do they start negative or at 0?3) A condensed magic list could be interesting, I'd imagine it would be horizontally divided by utility & different classes would determine the breadth of choice & depth of competency.4) Endless skill proliferation is a problem but too few choices would lead to cookie-cutter characters.5) Yuck, most PrC don't deserve to exist. They should be accomplishable by feat & skill selections.****5 ways I'd change d&d forever would be:1) Move away from a group dynamic to loosely related major characters.2) Characters start the game with better than average ability, low levels being represented by 'early character options' with specific mechanics.3) Point based ability & health.4) The referee being somehow made redundant so all can be players.5) The Charisma ability would directly affect a 'drama' mechanic which could interupt & override any other resolution mechanic (especially combat) to create a beneficial dramatic scene. Charisma as a dump stat would disappear overnight.</blockquote>
