Jack of all master at none? isent it reasonable to assume that with enough time practice and the right tools any one may be good at any one given skill? there are variables to consider like how much inventory and weight it takes for a character to carry all the different tools required to compete at a professional level with a true master, they pay large amounts of coin out for the equipment needed or have to under take life threatening risks like looting picks from Harakir to compete on a professional level with a true master. Its takes points from other attributes to INT score for a fighter or a cleric to have the extra skill points to devote to other skills for 2sps a shot. Thus the game balance is already in place, a slightly higher then normal Int fighter or cleric is losing points to either con, wisdom, strength, or charisma, and are probably not as strong as they could be in there main class role for the devotion they have given to another area, things like who is opening traps, locks, collecting loot, getting doors, buffing party members, and standing on the front line are RP issues not Item balance issues.
