This sounds reasonable and actually quite good, too.

Yup. And you raised a good point about reducing xp when not using skills. 
Something else would need to be done - or nothing.

I'd prefer to find a middle ground. Something where we can let everyone be 
capable of using all skills, but with some class-features still intact so 
that there is no way a basher can become as good a magic-user as a wizard. 
Perhpas simply requiring the "main skill", i.e. whatever is tied to the 
class, to always be higher than any other skill? Or higher than all other 
skills combined (this would need some adjustment on first level). There could 
be a guild whose services are necessary to gain a new level (or something) 
and the guild would simply kick you out if you violate the above rule. Or 
something.

Could not agree more.
