HERESY!

Just musing, but do we REALLY gain much in using % skills over d20 skills?
Granted, d20 is more granular, but keep in mind that not every new system
nowdays used percentile.

Yes, it's a thowback to RQ2, but really, since every modifier is a factor
of 5%, niggling little 1% items seem to be just overhead, and do they
REALLY add that much to play?

Now, since you don't want skills to vary so much, one can keep in mind
experience marks for each skill. every 5 marks get you one skill increase,
keep track of the remainders.

Really, this just struck me. EVERYTHING is so based around factor of 5 that
it seems the easiest way to streamline is to smooth the lines.
