I am going to eliminate skill proficiencies and use broad "background" and "class" proficiencies instead. Characters will have set rather than rolled HP, on the high side, and stats will be just bonuses/penalties rather than numbers. I am actually going back to Fort, Reflex and Will saves because I find them easier to adjudicate. I will be pairing down class (really, gear) abilities to a few core class fantasy abilities. More than Shadowdark but fewer than 5E (the specifics I will figure out after I build the pregens in full 5E).I like the sound of it. What kinds of system reductions are you making?

I have my college rugby jersey - fits great across the shoulders, the gut not so much.The phrase that springs to mind: “a ‘waist’ of time.”
I have held on to certain articles of clothing from 30 years ago, and they wouldn’t be alterable to fit my current “physique”.
