There probably is a point here where this evens out for at least some games, so you can get something that works for +1 to all skills. But as soon as you start allowing players to choose which skills to add, they're always going to pick the best ones.

That means you can either give a fair price for the good skills and leave the bad skills overpriced or you can give a fair price for the bad skills and give a huge discount on the good skills.

If you're going to price all skills the same, there's a choice to make: charge way more for the bad skills than they're worth, or charge way less for the good skills than other equally good non-skill options. You're either going to discourage characters with bad skills or encourage characters to load up on good skills instead of other options.
