No ability scores, classes, feats, etc. The only stats you keep track of are:
Hit Points: Start with 15, gain +3 per level up.
Skill Points: Start with 15, gain +3 per level up. You spend them to improve skill ranks and acquire special abilities.
Damage: Light weapon is 1d4 + half damage bonus, one-handed/medium weapon is 1d8 + damage bonus and two-handed/heavy weapon is 2d6 + (1.5 x damage bonus). Spell damage is determined normally, though your caster level is equal to your rank in the skill that you acquired.
AC: Your AC and TAC is equal to 10 + defense rank. Your FFAC is 5 + 1/2 defense rank.
Attack Bonus: Your attack bonus is equal to your Combat Rank, except with spells. Your damage bonus is also equal to this.
Spell Attack: Your attack bonus with spells is equal to the rank in the skill that you acquired the spell from. Your damage bonus is also equal to this. Your DCs for these spells are equal to 10 + your rank.
Fortitude: Your Fortitude bonus is equal to your Fortitude Rank.
Reflex: Your Reflex bonus is equal to your Defense Rank.
Will: Your Will bonus is equal to your Willpower Rank.
Ability Score: Any spell or item that normally adjusts an ability score, instead adjusts a special ability that creates the same effects. For example, Bull's Strength normally adds +4 Str, so instead it would add +4 to Damage Bonus with melee attacks or +2 Damage Bonus with melee attacks and +2 Athletics (Strength + Improved Strength). All such effects will add varying bonuses. Use GM discretion. Effects that normally deal ability damage instead deal penalties directly to AC, attack rolls, damage rolls and saving throws.
Old Skills: Any spell or item that normally adjusts a skill now just adds a bonus to ability checks made to perform the designated action. They don't actually adjust the skills listed here.
