For this reason I like the way Millennium's End handles attributes: they
get incorporated into skills, but only for about 10% of their value.
Unlike for example the WW games where the attribute is 100% present, and
thus where someone with Dexterity 5 and Firearms 0 is as good a shot as
someone with Dexterity 1 and Firearms 4.
However, this wouldn't work in SR because ME uses a percentile system,
whereas in SR the steps are much bigger. The partial defaulting rules from
the Companion appear to me to be a much better solution than adding
attributes and skills straight together.
