Racial ability alternative

Having worked on the SwoN character conversion rules my solution to how to incorporate the core four racail abilities into the SwoN system was to treat them like skills. The percentage based racial skills could be trated the same way in AD as well. Characters with them start at level one and raise them at in PSA rates (use military in PSA rate if using strict AD rules). Detect lie is (10%/level + 1/2INT). Comprehension is (10%/level + 1/2LOG). Battle Rage is (10%/level + 1/2PER). This greatly inflates a beginning character's chance of using his racial ability without really doing damage to the system and it eliminates a one of system and makes the AD rules more unified.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

It also would work well enough with the ifshnit haggling and appraisal abilities.
