[QUOTE="BrokenTwin, post: 8772591, member: 7017978"] Fantasy Craft does almost exactly that. Not sure if I'm remembering 100% correctly, but the way spells work in Fantasy Craft, Intelligence governs how many spells you know, Wisdom governs how many different spells you can prepare at once, and Charisma governs how powerful they are. You wouldn't need to go quite that far for D&D, but I do think that classes should be moved away from single attribute dependency, not towards it. I really like how 4E did it, where each class had a primary attribute and two secondary attributes that their abilities could alternatively key off of for bonus effects. Having said that, to answer the OP, I personally believe that each class should offer a +2 bonus to one of two attributes when chosen as the character's first level. Or maybe just a +1 to two. It makes a lot more sense to me that the floating attribute bonus should come from the class the character has trained in rather than their background (which is where 1D&D appears to be going).
