[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6912280, member: 6801286"] As I read it, the latter was the question being asked. That's how it came across to me anyway. No, I don't think that's true. Sometimes you can simply think about changing a system for the sake of discussion or brainstorming, without any clear goal in mind. All you have to do is ask one simple question:[I] "Do we need 6 ability scores? Why not less?"[/I] And I would probably add to that a question of my own: [I]"Do we need a save for each ability score? Is having 6 saves better than having three saves?"[/I] And to the latter, my answer would obviously be: "No". In fact, some of the saves feel really forced. I get what they were going for, by trying to not have these separate three scores like in 3.x. But having a Charisma save is weird. And what is the difference between the int and wisdom save? Why not simply have one willpower save like before? The only ones that makes sense to me are the strength save, and the dexterity save... and the constitution save is basically just the Fortitude save wearing a fake beard and a hat. [/QUOTE]
