Well, that might be so - but the player shouldn't know about it, so it
shouldn't be rolled up before it was needed. If the player ever got an
agility-related skill, maybe he found out he learned it amazingly
fast.

I'm not sure how to implement this, though. By letting you have a low,
unimportant agility as long as you don't have any of the skills below
it, and then letting you roll it when you learn something below it. 

Of course, those that despise rolling will have to find another way to
fix that one.
