If what Mearls finally comes up with in 5e ends up being more fiddly and not less, I will be kinda disappointed.For a good example of how player tasks live in the ability scores rather than skills, I like the way Green Ronin's Dragon Age does it. One of your ability scores increases every level, and  a "focus" (skill) gives you a flat +2 bonus in a particular task.A player with a Dex of 2 gets a +2 to their stealth rolls (on 3d6), whereas a player with a focus in stealth gets a +4. Some tasks require a focus depending on the situation: "Cunning(arcane lore required)".</blockquote>
