Ok, everyone, go dig out your Contacts book, and check out all the
"old" archetypes--the ones that were in the 1st edition rulebook, the
SSC, etc. Now figure what rankings they have. Almost all of them use
the 'add up to 10' method.

There are no problems. If there were problems, they would be your fault. If
there was, hypothetically, a problem, and it was not your fault, it would be
impossible for us to fix. That's not a supported configuration.
