As a matter of fact, the method I'm proposing does drop the intense maintenance threshold down (from att+10 to att+5). I didn't include the information about lower Skill levels because that's already part of the (optional) rule in the Basic Set, which as noted is on p. 294 if you want to take a look at it. Do you think that there should be more stringent restrictions than the ones in that rule plus these proposed alterations, and if so why and to what degree exactly?
