I am curious with the idea of removing PC stats as well. I need to see
how PC stats are implemented in HQ2. Robin says they remain crucial, and
I am willing to believe that as it is his design.
At the same time, no numbers, a straight target number for the PC, and
all opposing resistances being relative to that seems feasible. You
would still need a way to note what a PC is interested in/good at, of
course.

An abacus? Wow, that would be an odd visual touch. Could be evocative in the right sort of game. Personally, I would think a running tally of pass-fail presented visually to the players would be distracting, but maybe not. I'd also go by body language and such, of course. As I said, I know people who LOVE a long series of terrible losses for their player. They don't view Pass/Fail as 1s and 0s - some Passes are worth many minor Fails, dramatically. (And vice versa.)
I'm almost certain to run a few games with pass/fail applied rigorously to see what kind of pacing it produces, of course, just to see.
