I have something similar wrote up.  Not exactly the same, but close.

Yup.  Just needed to know if there was even a point, though.

One vote for more complicated, and one vote for waiting.  Wee.

Actually, my proposal has turned into more than just causing stats to do 
stuff; it's making new rules regarding carrying stuff, moving, and combat, 
as you surely know from all these posts I've been making about it.  As a 
result, I think that once I get everything looking nice, I'll actually split 
it up into several proposals, one each for each new system, and then the 
next nweek make the prop that ties them all into the Stats, as that'll only 
take a few sentences.

Oh, and bd, I did screw up the judgement of that CFI.  I meant FALSE, and 
changed my ruling as such.  I suggest you do the same.
