Is Wild Talent a bad deal?

I'm not even sure why it's being used, you don't need the physical enhancement on Modular Abilities to use skills that default to physical attributes, skills are grouped with mental advantages.

Using "I'm taking mental at 1/5 to avoid paying the extra +50%" is pretty sneaky though =/

Usually it wouldn't SEEM to be a problem since modular abilities tend to be slower and more expensive, except in this case of trying to avoid taking +100% by taking +50% and then 1/5 cost on +0%
