I agree, let a rogue be a sneaky dirty fighter. I remember doing ANYTHING to get a backstab back in 1e and it was fun, of course the game was less tactical back then.
Say, can anyone tell me why Diplomacy is charisma based? I understand things like Bluff which is short term/immediate stuff but Diplomacy is normally a long term chess match. Wouldn't the cunning of Wisdom be more appropriate?

Yeah they need to divorce skills from attributes and let the dm and players determine on a case by case basis

wel i have often played priests from 2nd edition onward and i can see the idea of priests with other hit dice and more casting or other options
but in my opinion this should depend on the god folowed.
so should the line
Starting Hit Points: 8 + your Constitution modifier
be changed into
Starting Hit Points: see your domain

"Each skill name is followed by the name of the ability that is associated with the skill."
"A skill has an underlying ability. Your modifier when making checks using that skill equals 3 + the ability modifier associated with the skill."
It's not a suggestion anymore than it was in the previous editions.
It's very likely that this is just for testing, and it may be finalized so skills and abilities aren't intrinsicly connected. I hope they do. But, right now, it's back to the old way.
