The main thing everyone was discussing on the last page was whether the skills should be set at five, fifteen, or an open ended option of skills to choose from.

I posted my own list of 18 skills but while working on my own characters, found that I couldn't customize their powers the way I wanted. (For example, I couldnt differentiate between force fields and magnetic manipulation but would have to lump them both under Psionic and just 3 points) 

I personally feel like an open amount of skills to discuss in order to not let anyone be over powered is the best option.
