D&3 does not spread the stats bonuses completely, For example, 10 and 11 have the same value, Why not different?

...isn't that the combat is slow or that you have to calculate a lot during gaming.

The first is amendable by having a copy of your weapon data as a player, all charts at your fingertips.

The second sounds bad, but is just as complicated as in D&D. Not much.

What I feel is the worst problem is the silly scale for stats. It looks ridiculous!

In RMSS you only get a bonus from your stat if you have a value of at least 70! Then the values increase a lot the closer you get to 100. If you have 500-600 points to put into those stats, all your stats will be within the range for getting a bonus. Why not cut the scale off at 70 then? You could have stats from 1-30 instead! Or modify the table and spread the bonuses more evenly. D&D3 did this, and it is one of the best things they did when revising D&D...

It just looks silly any other way.

From the sound of the review above, I guess HARP uses the weird RMSS way. Too bad.
