Or is this too powerful for a Skill Adaption Perk? !

It depends almost entirely on what the default _is_. If it defaults to base Skill it's too powerful, allowing you two skills for 1 pt.

If the default is -4 or so it's only barely useful. You'd have to have Two-handed Sword at DX+4 for the Perk to be better than buying Two-handed Axe/Mace directly.

So what is the default?
