Yeah, I had that problem too. The same problem I have with classes, levels, etc.

So I warped the concept a bit. Using a reference sheet I found online, I gave the players a choice of the Talents they'd get. (Talents are magical abilities, comparable to the abilities that a D20 character class might get at higher levels). Someone with Sword Skill could be nasty, someone with Sword Talent was nastier.

It gave a lot more freedom. I can't remember how I limited it, maybe by Circle. But it provided a fresh approach, and was pretty simple (of course, I was only using Talents from the main book.
