I think the official fix is that you should use equipment bonus for all abilities. e.g. skimpy clothing = equipment for seduction.

I think a better fix is to discard equipment as separately rated, and instead rule that a skill rating includes the effect of use of appropriate equipment and possession of that equipment.
