The Rule of 20 [B173] limits defaults from high attributes.

Easy skills generally default to Attribute-4, Average skills to -5, and Hard skills to -6; so your 'Defaults' from Attributes are limited to 16,15 and 14 for Easy, Average and Hard skills respectively.

If that's too high for you, amend it to the Rule of 18 or Rule of 16, and the Defaults from Attributes are limited accordingly.

Then there is always the Super Attribute modifier from Supers.p23 or Power-Ups 4.p17, which you could allow to by pass this anyway for someone willing to invest the extra points.
