Oka gifting alternative
Here's how it would work: each melee weapon skill would function as though you'd put an amount of XP into it equal to the total XP you'd actually put into all your melee weapon skills. Ranged weapon skills would work the same way. (So, a human with Polearms 20 and no other weapon skills would use all their other weapon skills at SL 20 too.)
The result is that Okawaru would still improve your weapon options pseudo-randomly, but instead of waiting until you were gifted an endgame-level weapon in your best skill, you'd use the best weapon you'd found thus far, regardless of your current skill level. (I don't know whether or not this version of Oka should still gift armor at a proportionately slower rate.)
Thoughts?
