Skill cost table

There are probably several ways to remember this, depending on how your brain works.

For me:
For an Average skill, it costs 4 points for each +1 (starting at [Stat]). Easy skills get +1, Hard -1, VH -2.
The tricky bit: Subtract 1 or 2 for lower skill levels (i.e. for 2 or 1 points).

I like that the difficulty modifiers make perfect sense with this description.

Also, it bugs me when (house)rules call to change the difficulty of a skill. Just give it a modifier!
