It's really just swiping Ultimate NPC Wildcards and applying it to PCs in a campaign where the GM trusts the players not to be silly about abusing the privilege.

Which said, I often think GURPS fans go overboard dissecting skills. There are far, far more skills in the system than there were in 1986, and that's largely due to writers who were also fans going a little crazy. Often, the better approach is to take the view, "If you're a hero in this story, then you belong here and your shtick is useful to advancing the plot." I rather think that RISUS is clever this way.
