[UA] Varying skill costs . . .

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

This thread reminds me of a discussion I saw re: college tuition.  The idea
was that some degrees ( English, Film School, et. al. ) should cost less
than others ( Engineering, Law, et. al. ) since the job prospects were so
much worse for holders of those degrees.

For some skills pro-rating to work, you'd have to figure out which skills
are more important ( as Susan rightly points out ).  The "distracting breast
implants" might just stop a fight in some GM's minds.

I might make some skills cost more, depending on circumstances.  For
instance, it should be VERY hard to increase a Handgun skill through
practice in Washington DC, where legal handgun ownership is forbidden (cops
show up frequently, ammo very hard to find, etc. ).  OTOH, increasing
Handgun skill through practice should be relatively easy in rural Virginia.

It doesn't change the skill points, sure, but it does cost more.
