This allows you to reflect the learning of new skills and deterioration of old ones without lowering their overall power level. It also allows you to reflect experienced but retired adventurers that have lost touch with their adventuring skills, because they have converted their levels into NPC ones like expert, aristocrat and (if you really want them to have experienced a power drop) Commoner, so as to pick up skills more appropriate to everyday life. And that way, while they might be weaker when the PC's encounter them initialy, they can still brush off the rust fairly quickly if called back to the adventuring life.</p></blockquote><p></p>
