Those do sound like some good ideas, which I am thankful for by the way.  ;D ;D ;D Though I just feel like if I'm at a shortfall during a critical time when the group needs me doing my job at my best then the whole group fails because I couldn't do my job. Again it's just my sense of OCD coming into play. I feel that if you are going to do your job then do it well from the outset. Plus since as you said it seems like this system advances very slowly picking the right set of skills from the outset is the key to character longevity.
