* the biggest area of divergence in our skills, the reason our point spreads get so wide, is primarily stats.  We solved this to a degree with natural talents.  However, there are very few natural talents available.
* Replace Skill Focus (Feat), and Skill Focus, Epic (Feat) with Skill Expert (Feat), Skill Specialist (Feat), and Skill Prodigy (Feat).
:* another approach would be to either cap how much of a bonus stats give, or give only a fraction of the stat's mod to a skill. 
:* Skill Expert (Feat): +2 bonus to skill, crit on 19-20 (+5 to result), no longer critically fail on a 1
:* also, PF2 is going to have 5 levels of skill proficiency: untrained (-2), trained (+0), expert (+1), master (+2), legendary (+3).
:* Skill Specialist (Feat): +2 bonus to skill, crit on 18-20 (+7 to result), new skill uses available (current epic skill uses)
::* untrained is default, you have no ranks in the skill, and basically suck at it.
:* Skill Prodigy (Feat): +1 bonus to skill, crit on 17-20 (+10 on result), new skill uses available (champions level super-hero stuff)
::* trained occurs for free if you put ranks into the skill (PF2 only gives ranks every other level, and has fewer ranks, overall)
::* expert, master, and legendary each require feats placed into the skills.  These proficiency ranks are separate from your actual skill ranks or skill bonus.  They unlock abilities, akin to our epic skill uses.
:::* example, expert in Movement might give you a move speed, at half your walk speed, in a new movement type, just natively.  Master and legendary might let you improve the speed of that move type, or get a different move type, or something else entirely.  Essentially, each skill would have a list of 'feats' associated with gaining a higher proficiency level in it.  This would include the epic skill uses, but could also be even more radical.  Legendary in a skill is meant to be truly super-heroic.
:::* players may only get 1 to 3 legendary level 'things' in their entire career, and some may choose to spread themselves out more generally, and get no legendary proficiencies at all.
:::* without the feat support to get the higher proficiency, you simply cannot use the more advanced skill uses of the skill, even if your ranks are maxed out.
