I disagree, some rules are there to define the gender, in any RPG ever there was a chance to miss, it makes the game more intresting.
Evade is still something different.
These rules have nothing to do with inovation on any level, Ihave seen true inovation on combat system in FF12 and FF13 and people don't seem to like them for various reasons cause you can't please anybody.

This is the game we are playing, you can change some stuff but you cant remake the genre.
If you want to play something else, there are other games.

In the meantime I'm willing to discuss this further with you if you have something more in depth to say for your comments.
