As part of learning new rules and to see how this change really works I have been only been using random skills on my Black Orc team.
So far it's a mixed bag. Black orcs are not great at earning SPPs so the lower amount needed has helped me get skills faster. The skills I got aren't the best but all but 1 were useful.
Oddly the goblins were worse off than the orcs. I have one lucky gobbo that has two skills that pair well and several gobbos with less than desirable skills.
I enjoy the random rolls and, as Burk mentioned, trying to make best use of what I got. I do wish that the skill charts were weighted rather than equal distribution.
