You should do it. All Veteran players do not use the prefabricated character classes but do their own character class. Why?- because then you can choose exactely the 10 skills which you will need most likely in the game.
An Example:
A good warrior type char in my opinion would have:
major skills:
heavy or medium armor longblade or axe, or blunt weapon athletic acrobatic marksman
all these skills are frequently used by experienced players. All skills with the exception of the 3 magic skills and speechcraft are very easy to increase.
