Switch to Lejendary Adventure. In case you don't know, it's a RPG system created by Gary Gygax (the man!) and it uses ability scores which each cover a variety of skills. The ability scores are each a certain percentage of your character's base ratings. Your top ability of course gets a high percentage of its governing base rating and each consecutive ability gets a progressively lower percentage. So when making an ability check to successfully use a certain skill, you roll D100 and try to roll under your score. I like it much more than any D20 system I've tried, and it's usually the only system my group plays.
