That's weird. Could we get by on just one?  Here is my idea!"Game design wise, I am always totally ready for someone to make the case for a big overhaul, because what comes out in terms of thinking is almost always really interesting.  I was excited to see you to try to tear out abilities scores entirely.... but then... I didn't get farther than when you said you were still keeping the attributes for saving throws...  (SAD TROMBONE SOUND).  So you aren't removing ability scores, you are making them more niche and less integrated.  And you are also trying to do a lot of other stuff... which may or may not be cool, because I just lost interest...  Why not try to totally rebase on skills if you are trying to rebase on skills?  Don't take all this text, and philosophy and effort to half remove attributes, but chicken out and keep them.</blockquote>
