For example, say someone with swim skill that never actually swam for 5-6 levels is automatically better than someone a few levels lower that constantly practices. On the other hand, 2E was way too restrictive in the benefit of improving a single NWP vs taking a new NWP altogether. I'd like to see a middle ground where at each level a character earns a certain number of skill points and could choose to improve a skill at either a 1 to +1 ratio or something along those lines or could spend a certain number of skill points to outright purchase a skill/NWP at a base score. For example: character earns 4 skill points per level, they could either increase 4 skills they currently have by +1 or a +2 (assuming maxed out stats), or for 3-4 skill points buy a new skill with a base bonus and choose to increase it later as they further progress.</blockquote>
