[snip gripe]
IMHO an easy fix is to _require_ concentrations, rather than have them
available as options to players. However in that case I think the +1 bonus
should be removed, and only a +1 added for specializing. Taking this a
step further, if someone wants to have the basic skill, you could subtract
a point.
For example, spending 4 skillpoints on Computer (Software) means you get a
level of 4 in this concentration; 4 points on Computer (Software, Matrix
Programming) gives a skill level of 5, while just Computer skill with 4
points spent gives a skill of 3.
At any rate it means characters will be good at the thing they
concentrated in (for example, Athletics (Climbing)) but less about related
areas (running, jumping, lifting, etc.).
