  The 'best' thing to probably do is make characters overall exp independent of 
skill exp.

  Without that, it will never be possible to maximize all your skill levels to 
the same (or even close) to your overall level.

  IT only sort of worked in the old system because there was a massive gap for 
the final two levels.

  Actually, as I think about this, this probably makes a lot more sense - it 
means you can give characters exp which helps their overall level without trying 
to figure out what skill it goes into.  This would probably be a saner approach 
to party exp, as well as exp for using magic items to kill something (no reason 
you really shouldn't get exp for that, but hard to determine a category).

  May actually make attack wands/rods more useful again.
