I just don't like it, but by changing it to include strength as a bonus, first am I using a new DC as listed on table 42?  Also am I now throwing more importance into an attribute than it should have ( there is also an argument for certain skills when going down this route as well.)?  And finally which saves should now get bonuses from an attribute, which shouldn't and how does this affect ovrerall balance.  Just things I'm pondering.Emphasis mine on final point...   Be honest though, would the "incompleteness" be a boon if you had never DM'd before?   Are you often drawing from your knowledge of 3e/3.5 to make ad-hoc rulings and fill in those blank spaces?  For me this again makes me wonder why I am paying to have an incomplete game, IMO in more ways than one, when I have a pretty complete one and know it well enough to tweak it to my desires.  YMMV of course.</blockquote>
