I'll heartily third this, as I've long been believing the same thing myself.
IMO _all_ of the problems people have had with the HW/HQ paradigm, geek-wise, transparency-wise, rules-wise, log-wise, and otherwise stem from the fact that the game uses base 20 instead of base 10, unlike virtually ALL other systems of numeracy used by mankind, including the D&D3 D20 system.
OK, so I'm a geek.
Sue me ...

I'd personally prefer to see a straight 1D10 system, and am also intrigued to hear about Keith's experiences.
