Fair enough. Much of the wonderful goodness of RQII was tucked away in the appendices. While they aren't part of the core rules, there is a lot of goodness in there. It has those rolls, the wonderful damage options for different weapon types, advanced experience, languages, etc. In fact, to my know the first point based character creation system is in the RQII appendices, as is the first RPG with interlinked languages.
We always used characteristic rolls fairly frequently, in addition to a lot of opposed (Resistance mechanic) rolls. In fact we used them in Stormbringer all the time too, and I don't know that it ever occured to me that they weren't officially in the rules. Much of what was innovative about RQ/BRP was in those appendices.
