What you might consider doing is instead of purchasing individual skills, you acquire a certain number of skill groups that cost more  to acquire depending on your level.  Thus it would cost 2 points for the Ranger or Druid to acquire the Wilderness Lore, Animal Emp, Handle Animal skill group.  For any other class, it would be 5 points.</blockquote>
