Do you feel like curent skills are balanced?
Do you think that adding more skills would improve it?

There is another issue. How to controll such load. How to choose. How to change UI to prevent clicking madness? How to make user to remember good combinations?
There is a lot of casual players, more skills makes less accessible.

I can understand you point of view, the veteran who simply needs MOAR. but well, sometimes less means more.

List of skills should be bigger then possible skill slots. +50 +100%. So novice skill list should contain at least 8 skills. Adept at least 6 skills. Master at least 4 skills. That applys at any school. So the player must shoose what he likes. There should not be a situation where list of skill is same (or smaller) than number of slots. It also encourage to have diferent character in the party. So you can have diferent 2 fighters. One defensive tank, second damage dealer - depends the skills.

I also think that this might be a better distribution table:

N / A / M
=========
2 / 0 / 0
2 / 1 / 0
3 / 2 / 0
3 / 3 / 1
5 / 4 / 2

I would consider a skill as something special. Something more than regular attack.
I need to use basic attack to know difference.
Currently I dont use basic attack at all.

Current system which gives the BEST reward for first point is sick. I prefer a system where best reward is for master level.

Flexibility
skill change needs an improvement. What if a skill book can be written down (created) from current skill. Like unsubscribe so you make a notes to you diary, so later you could re-learn that. or sell the book. For that process you would need an blank sheet an magic ink, both are consumed in the process. The process can be done at certain locations only, library, homestead, ... . You need a proper "craft" tool the office table for the process. Also create a skill book from regular scroll should be easier. Somethin like a skill level 2 allows create skill level 1 books from scrolls.
