[Say, it isn't that bad!]

Some thoughts off the top of my head:

1) Training CP can no longer be calculated as a fairly simple lump sum.
2) It is much easier to be "sufficiently skilled" in a broad range of skills, than to be highly-skilled in a few skills.
3) Long-lived races might tend to be intense generalists; with very high to moderate skill in a broad range of areas.
3a) A member of a long-lived race who does specialize, is still terrifying, but not quite so "defeat incarnate".
4) Shorter-lived races might find it more profitable to specialize, as they, comparatively, don't have that long to pick up skills.
