If you want to do rolls and have them feel fair instead of random, you need a stats system.
If you have a stats system you need a leveling and/or point buy system that functions objectively without DM/Staff oversight and functions in such a manner that nobody can complain.
As I mentioned before a few times including back when I was staff, this isn't impossible to implement, but logistics becomes nigh-insurpassable if you want to try and slot existing characters in, as how do you determine the skill/experiance/level of existing characters? It's a nightmare no matter how you slice it.
If you want a stat system, properly implemented, and want to use d20 or otherwise to actually feel like an RPG it's ultimately my opinion that it necessitates a full reset and everybody rolls new characters. And if one does that I'd say probably a good oppertunity to redraft a lot of things.
I don't necessarily see that as something worth doing, but I think that's what it'd take if that was what was collectively wanted. It's a full out paradigm shift.
HW is prooobably better off staying freeform.
