Wouldn't the simplest solution to just be to not do that? Other spells can be added through magic items or by adding new classes with their own discrete spell list.

This isn't Stack Overflow. :) I'm not posting because I'm looking for solutions.

You also don't generate nearly as much interest and posts. "Let's remove Constitution and Intelligence from 6e" will absolutely generate more interest than "What do you think about my fantasy heartbreaker with 4 stats?"

I’d play it. I can think of several ways to do it while still maintaining the 5e core. Or you could go a lot further with a more extensive redesign. Whether maintaining ability scores is somehow definitional of D&D is not something I feel qualified to weigh in on, precisely because that isn’t...
