Mearls clarifies his goals D&D Next

Last week's Legends and Lore really unsettled me, but this week's reminded me that I've really enjoyed watching the development of DnD Next and to give them a chance before I burn Mike in effigy.

I truly hope they maintain a proper economy of bonuses with Feats being equal to +1 Ability Score.

Check out the specifics here.

I'm curious how the optional skill system will work out.
