Precisely that feeble excuse for the broken Saga System has been produced in the past. The excuse could make sense only if having a W3 keyword was comparable to merely having your best abilities about W3. You might think that was reasonable if you have never played in a long running campaign, but as players spend HPs the ratings for best abilities and keywords draw ever further apart. A character with a W3 keyword is vastly more powerful than a character who's best abilities are W3 but keywords are much less.
