Keep our skills when Level syncing in dungeons

I swear to the Twelve, if I have to drag out the Math again for this thread, I'm going to make a freakin' slide deck presentation and stuff it on Google Docs so that I can just link it the next time this comes up.

As an old D&D 3.5 player who would drag out grappling rules just to annoy the DM, the thought of that much math purely for the sake of spite makes me smile.

As an engineer, I approve. As a DM who's been running games since late 3.5, reading this gives me a headache.

(My next campaign is gonna be actually an FFXIV one, using the fan-made but extremely good FFXIV D&D 5e sourcebook. My players are going to go on a quest to explore Meracydia, and I made an expansion-style logo for the campaign and everything! I have had to construct a whooooole lot of lore more or less out of thin air and/or my ass to prep for this, though...)

Brief D&D digression aside, I really should make the slide deck for "why keeping your skills when level-synched down would be incredibly broken beyond words: the MATH edition"; spite-fueled or not, this topic does seem to crop up every few months.
