But by your own statement, this applies to 1W, not 17W. The number I chose, and the description was careful. By 17W you have very nearly mastered your skill, in the sense that no ordinary person stands much chance of competing with you.

Not according to ANYTHING we have in Hero Wats. W3 is a very special, heroic person. Not just an experienced master - W2 does fine for that.

I think you contradicted yourself about six times there, but I'm not sure enough of your meaning to be certain. I am arguing that improving from 17 to 17W is easier than improving from 17W2 to 17W3. That would seem to agree with your last sentence. I am arguing that the rules should reflect this, as they currently do not, by increasing the cost to improve an already good skill.
And the idea that I am giving rules more importance than the story is laughable. I am firmly of the ignore rules whenever possible branch of roleplaying.
As Wulf asked, which side of the argument are you on? Your post isn't clear.
Cheers,
Graham
