His proposal would certainly streamline the character sheet but at the expense of speed of play. If you only have the six stats and then powers/feats provide all modifiers, that means you have to search your sheet every time and add all the little odds-and-ends to calculate your score. Eventually, some player is going to realize that instead of calculating his score against attacks by adding his Dexterity + his ineffable dodge ability + his shield, he should just write it down on his sheet... maybe call it armor class. The reason we "bring in sub contractors" is because they come up often enough that it is worth putting them on salary.</blockquote>
