Interesting idea...

The problem is it still screws the curmudgeonly grognard clinging to his copy of Characters and telling me he doesn't like my house-rule. So long as I don't make anyone better than him for the same point cost, and don't force him to use my version, I can circumvent the problem entirely. People who aren't happy with the RAW are happy, people who are happy with the RAW are happy... just seems better. And besides, we're talking about 10-20 points for broadly useful levels of skill (I'm assuming attribute levels generally around 12, and people buying skills up to at least attribute +0). Eyeballing it, that looks about right.

If that's too expensive, they can choose to narrow their focus. But generalists should be expensive, if they want to be good at lots of things.
