A few things I want to say: skills like acrobatics and to some extent hand-to-hand are somewhat useless. Hand to hand was always a very underdeveloped combat system and athletics/acrobatics rarely did anything other than make you jump higher or run faster. Streamlining isn't always a bad thing. Also, it makes sense that muffle is limited to your shoes, since when could a ring make your footsteps quieter?
