Right, though obviously that would beg the question of why it isn't useful in combat if it only worked in that context.
Oh, what if there were certain MPs that have Skill Powers as prerequisites?
If you see Skill Powers as a form of "lesser Skill specializations" and MPs as "greater skill specializations", then I don't see why not. As long as it is a definite additional element that can be done independently of the Skill Powers and not "when you use a skill power, you get a bonus". If it is the latter, then you might as well use a feat because that is what they are for.
