[QUOTE="BookTenTiger, post: 8375805, member: 6685541"] As anachronistic as the six ability scores are... I really like them! They are very, very "D&D" to me. So if I were making 6e, I would actually have the ability scores do something other than just give a bonus! There should be a reason that a 13 strength is different than a 12 strength. For example, you could have a simplified Encumbrance system based on your Strength Score. Items could have a Heavy Tag, and you can carry a number of Heavy Items (non-light weapons, armor, items weighing more than 10 lbs, etc) equal to your Strength Score. Or you gain a number of Proficiencies (skills, languages, tools) equal to your Intelligence Score - 10. Or rather than having a Perception Skill, your Perception is equal to your Wisdom score. Those are ideas just off the top of my head, I don't expect any of them to stand to scrutiny, but it would be fun for there to be a reason to have an odd score. [/QUOTE]
