Ok, so experienced Savage Worlds GMs out there, tell me why these changes will make the world cease to exist as we know it.
1. Remove the Wild Die and replace with Attribute die, so rolls will be Attribute+Skill instead of Skill+Wild. Now the arguments I usually see are...
3. Have d4 Attributes still use d6 like Wild Die (takes care of problem above)
4. Do what I always do with "exploding dice", have a 4 on a d4 really be 3+reroll instead of 4+reroll, 8 on a d8 really be 7+reroll, etc...
These changes have the benefit of removing the funky holes in the probability, remove the wild die, so there is no narrative "extras vs. wild cards" classification, and ties attributes closer to skills.
So someone with a d12 Fighting, a d12 Strength and a Maul is going to BBQWTFPWN people, but will he do it a lot more than the d6+d12 guy will? The effective -1 on the reroll will overall reduce raises across the board, so the higher die will be somewhat mitigated there.
If there's some mathematical monstrosity that will make Baby Jesus cry if I do this, please do tell.

- Don't mess with anything until you try it - yeah whatever.
- It leads to super attributes over-ruling skills - understood
- It leads to low attributes screwing you over - understood
