Lucy and Bilgepump both have an interesting take on this.

Maybe something in the middle. A quest to retrain a skill point that requires using the weapon involved (sort of like the new weapons quest where you had to kill using a particular weapon at times - or sailing and using broadsides/ or cannon shooting on someone else's crew). But also having a health/vodoo penalty as well. But it should be a health/vodoo penalty of 5 levels while working on the quest, to be restored when the quest is done.

It should be possible but discouraged. The best way to avoid it would still be to carefully consider where you are putting your points. And maybe a windows-esque "Are you sure" window before you assign the point to avoid mis-clicks.

Another thought would be the ability to use skill points from different weapons but at a 2 to 1 cost (e.g use 2 grenade points for a dagger skill)
