Yes, this was what fooled us. If only it had been a bit more obviously not the case! We were still naive enought to think "mastery" meant "mastery".

SO find a limit that fits your style of play - just make sure the NPCs use the same number.

We've been playing that long in Real World years, but PBeM is slower.

That was another thing we did when we re-wrote the Swords PCs. Kept the skills we were interested in as distinct, grouped the rest as keywords, writing our own keywords where needed. Just as the big NPCs are presented, more or less.
Here, I think most of this is public:
http://www.herewardslegion.info/wikka/wikka.php?wakka=CharacterPages
Character sheets off there.
Keywords here:
http://www.herewardslegion.info/wikka/wikka.php?wakka=KeyWords
the ones we've invented are public, ones copied in
from copyright sources are locked to players only.
The PCs aren't as high level as yours, but the ideas on presentation may help.
