First, some skills are simply better than others and have longer cooldowns. I don't think having a large number of skills necessarily negates the value of skin graft. I mean, it possibly NEEDS a nerf like this, and maybe an AP cost with a cooldown is the right direction, but if you're looking for a buff, I think you should consider a different tweak. You'd need to make the ability at least 6 turn cooldown, and a lot of fights would be over before you'd want to use it again anyway. That's a recipe for wrecking everything.Ī 2-3 AP cost with a cooldown would be much more of a nerf than a buff.

Imagine raging, and whirlwind and crippling blow a group of enemies and knocking them down with battering ram, then skin grafting and AOE critting AGAIN. Or if you desperately need a particular skill (like magic shell to cure a stunned ally). Or you use it if you have no armor already. Haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a coup de grace kind of skill to me, where you use it to basically end fights so you don't have to worry so much about the armor loss.
