I like having skill points based on int, but to be fair, it doesn't make much sense for many of the skills.
I mean, it makes sense that a very smart person would learn science or medicine more quickly, and even that he would be able to learn both at the same rate a less gifted character would only learn one. But physical skills like throwing, aiming (part of the various gun skills) and melee, intelligence seems rather secondary. Those skills are more about getting used to do things a certain way than they are about learning anything concrete. Other skills like gambling and speech also seem less dependent on intelligence. I mean, of course if you are intelligent, you can understand the principles behind these faster, but actually developing a poker face, or the right body language to convince someone is a different story.
