I don't think the change would have been enough of any kind of benefit to warrant killing that sacred cow.I use to very much think it was archaic, it was one of the main reasons I played GURPS back in the day. But I think now that I've come to appreciate the weight of history that the existing stats brings. Not nostalgia per se, though that is a component, but the momentum of what those stats mean outside of the definition stated in the books.</blockquote>
