As if.
No, allow them to change, by sacrificing some part of what they have now
(eg, I'm bored with my flobbitz skill, so I'll give up on it and get back
the points expended on it so I can go learn goober skill instead).
This still, btw, only postpones the inevitable exhaustion of all the game's
mechanics.
