Not really. If you noticed, there are NO SUCH things as auto-successes
anymore! And the skill-web screw (i.e. buy 12 successes in stealth, that gives
you 9 in armed/unarmed, 10-11 in athletics, etc) was just that. And the fact
that you could do ANYTHING with the autos was just icing on the screw-cake.
