I'm definitely up for the first two.
The bit about ranged, I'm not quite so sure about. I guess because it feels a bit like splitting off a very refined set of skills into their own set of spots. I can see your point of it being a bit cheesy that they're rather different from running a marathon or climbing to the side of a cliff - but then those are two rather separate abilities that come under the same dots too.
Skimming over the M20 character sheet, Technology shifts over from Knowledge to Skills. If we did that, would there be another Knowledge that could take its place? Politics, which I'm guessing won't be amazingly different from V20's version. That would keep equal numbers in each column.
Or add Martial Arts in. Again it's a M20 thing, although it rather annoyingly doesn't crop up in W20 or V20. But it's presumably to cover trained hand-to-hand fighting (and martial weapons?), which might be a better slot for archery and thrown?
I'm really not saying I'm against adding in Ranged Weapons, by the way. Just wondering if there might be a better use for the slot.
