That sounds sensible enough. Although the rules also say that players 
start with 1 point in melee combat, if I remember correctly. Anyway, I 
think your way is better, as it does allow more choices at the 
beginning. After all, some players might rather want to concentrate on 
ranged weapons instead, so the point in melee is sort of wasted for 
them.
