Hmm, made me wonder whether an alternative way of assigning numbers to abilities would be to assign a "pool" of points to be shared between all the abilities, setting a "maximum" and maybe a limit to how many can start above 20. It would mean that Character Generation would take a bit longer, and require slightly more maths, but would mean not every new character has "the same" scores in all their keywords. If you set the "pool" to be the sum of the points you would get by the "standard" method then you could still default to that if you wanted.
