I also want low skills to be learnable fairly quickly in game and I don't want to do it by fiat. I want a mechanistic approach.

An alternative might be to restructure skill costs, using the same triangular numbers approach:

1. Increase: [1], Total: [1]
2. Increase: [2], Total: [3]
3. Increase: [3], Total: [6]
4. Increase: [4], Total: [10]
5. Increase: [5], Total: [15]

So, getting enough skill to ignore the penalty for aiming at the eye, would require [45]. If you use this idea, I would recommend also using non-linear costs for at least some attributes.

That being said, CP are not linear, so this idea breaks current CP costs.
