I would really like to see some big changes in the way a characters
attributes and skills are handled. I have only one problem with the
current system and that is THE SKILL WEB. The skill web is just
really a relic of the first edition that should have been eradicated
in the second. If you remove the skill web concept from the game
though alot of things have to be revamped. I would like to see a
skill+attribute based system, which might make dice pools obsolete
also. The skill web just makes things to annoying, I hate counting
dots. Having an firearms skill and and then only getting a +2 when
using a vehicle mounted weapon or a guy with only ettiquette only
getting a +2 for negotation or interogation rolls. Please do not clog
the list with flames about my examples or ideas, please discuss only
the merits and flaws of getting rid of the skill web.
