So Fighters will, on the whole, do better at Strength stuff, Rogues are automatically/on the whole better at Dex stuff, etc... That works perfectly fine for me. However, as Obryn [and others] points out, that produces disparity from table to table...human created differences...in a table-top role-playing game...with humans...so, that only works for those who don't need the game to put every gods blessed thing in numbers and cents or think the table-top socially interactive game should be structured to play like a computer with everything working out exactly as planned every time. <invoke best Sheldon imitation> Otherwise, how can one possibly play make believe elf knights grave-robbing dragons with any veracity?! </invocation><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/glasses.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt="B-)" title="Glasses    B-)" data-shortname="B-)" />Is the possibility of a skill-less game so foreign a concept to D&D? I mean, in page count alone, you'd save soooo much space (and thus, money OR make room to fill those pages with other stuff).</blockquote>
