Legends & Lore: Skills

See Starwars Saga Edition for why this is not a good idea.

I'd expand that into looking into the Skill Attack Bonuses houserules that were developed late in Saga's life, specifcally to address this imbalance.

... but it's less bad in D&D, where skills and defenses and attacks for all characters advance at the same rate (before bonuses from items and stats), than in SWSE, where defenses are +level, skills are +1/2 level, and attacks can be anything from +1/2 level to +level depending on class. Also SWSE skill focus is +5 rather than +3.
