Default Re: Realistic Point Gains

I think that it is guideline that people kept from 3e. Skills can represent formal training, but they can also represent a specific innate talent. In 4e, you could potentially have a child born with Karate at DX+10 and Judo at DX+10 (Power Ups 3: Talents, discusses skills as innate propensity on page 17). If that child grows into an adult with DX 14, the adult would be one of the most talented martial artist on the planet, even without formal training.
