True, but I take the stance on it that it's the GM's job to curb
ridiculousness in skill levels, and when you put a rule-based cap on it and
try to cap below that, players cry foul. Without the attribute cap, if a
player wanted to blow karma to get a 32 unarm/martart/TKD, I'd simply say,
"Alright, and you left the Korean monastery at age 40 to run the shadows
because why?" Making a house rule for skill caps is a little silly IMO,
simply because it's easier for the GM to say "No, you can't" when a player
finds a way around it.
