So, after about 30-40 hours on a light armor/sneaky/archer type character, I decided that I had learned a number of things about the game. I decided to create a new character and start fresh. I'm trying to level my crafting skills as evenly as possible with my combat skills to avoid getting the game balance all wonky.

My question is this...

How much of a point spread between skills works without screwing up the game balance? I don't want my crafting skills to get too far ahead of the combat skills.
