I voted in favor of the skill system, modified to provide more skill points. As it currently stands, it seems as though we have far enough points to deal with the "necessities," and precious few to deal with experimentation--which is much of the fun about skills, anyway. To be sure, if you continually battle eternally regenning, boring monsters, you'll grow old and grisly enough to have all the points you need. But most of us want those skill points earned within a reasonable period of time. DD had the mix just about right. BD's still got a way to go.
