Well, fact is that Puff on metalforge is now 110 with currently 1075M
exp, while I remember him to be 99 with around 960M

That is simply not what I found on metalforge. I just went to heaven
for some minutes to raise my wisdom skill and again I found that I can
not raise it beyond 350M/lvl79, although my other skills are quite
behind.

In spite of Joel however, I really like what you describe for two
reasons. First this makes high level characters differ much more than
they do now. Second it make alchemy less abusive, since do don't
usually want mental skills take too much of a share. I surely will
drive dex quite far however, because I like to be able to disarm any
trap and steal from tough monsters. And some of these maniacs will
surely max out personality, just to be able to get on everybody elses
nerves with their cool pets again...
