No. I was talking about throwing out the ones I didn't like - the ones that
say "Don't argue your case with this NPC, roll Persuasion." I never let
characters *roll* intimidate either, but their stat is taken into account as
well as what the player has them say and do.

With d20 I would find it harder to do this, and the bits of UA's system I do
like - the rest of it - would be very difficult to replicate (just look at
AotM; the d20 version is essentially a different game, the differences are
so great. And especial trouble, evidently, was had in converting Avatar
taboo penalties)

I don't much like d20 - I have this sneaking suspicion that were D&D the
only game in town I would love it. But they're not, and while d20 seems to
me a great leap forward for the D&D ruleset, it ain't on a par with other
systems.
